ABA League

Second Stage Round 2: Krka - Ilirija 72-71

Date: March 7, 2026
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams in Novo Mesto where Ilirija was edged by Krka 72-71 on Saturday. Krka made 19-of-22 free shots (86.4 percent) during the game. The best player for the winners was American center Sukhmail Mathon (208-1998, college: Boston U.) who scored 10 points and 9 rebounds. point guard Niko Bacvic (191-1997) chipped in 9 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Krka's coach used an eleven-player rotation in such tough game. Serbian center Boban Marjanovic (224-1988) produced 21 points and 8 rebounds and forward Edo Muric (202-1991) added 9 points and 8 rebounds respectively for the guests. Krka will meet Zadar on the road in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Ilirija will play against FMP BG and hope to secure a win.
