The game in Olomouc supposed to be also worth to mention about. Pardubice played at the court of Olomoucko. Pardubice smashed Olomoucko 100-54. American players dominated the game. point guard Trey Bonham (183-2002, college: Chattanooga) scored 19 points and 5 assists to lead the charge for the winners and Jamonda Bryant Jr chipped in 11 points, 7 assists and 8 steals during the contest. Asa Williams (198-1999, college: Montana Tech) responded with 7 points, 5 assists and 5 steals. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Pardubice will play against H.Kralove in Hradec Kralove in the next round where they are favorite. Olomoucko will play at home against NH Ostrava to get more than just one victory in their record.
The game in Usti nad Labem supposed to be also quite interesting. Plzen played at the court of Usti n/Labem. Usti n/Labem smashed Plzen 115-74 on Wednesday. JaBorri McGhee notched 29 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals to lead the effort. Even 22 points and 6 rebounds by Troy DAmico did not help to save the game for Plzen. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest.
