Date: January 18, 2023
First defeat of league's leader Montenegrin Buducnost against Slovenian Celje 61-59 was the most important game of the last round. Buducnost was trailing by 2 points at halftime but managed to get 2-point lead after three quarters before a 15-11 charge of Celje, which allowed them to win the game. Celje outrebounded Buducnost 40-29 including 30 on the defensive glass. American Sara Loomis (188-1997, college: Ashland) orchestrated the victory by scoring 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Australian Taylah Simmons (185-1997, college: Southeastern) contributed with 15 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. Celje's coach used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. Point guard Marija Lekovic (170-2003) replied with 17 points and Bosnian center Jovana Markovic (187-1997) added 8 points and 8 rebounds in the effort for Buducnost. Buducnost will play next round against strong Vojvodina 021 trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Celje will try to continue on its current victory against Montana on the road.
