It will be incredibly sad to say goodbye to USH CSKA. Our team will try to wrap up the inevitability in the fate of the legendary sports complex with a positive story. The mood is to win another title under the arches of the home arena...
Expecting a joy with some taste of sorrow

PRE-GAME BREAKDOWN

USH CSKA is ready to host its final official game – it will happen either on Thursday or on Saturday. After the last home game the special ceremony will be held.

The army team has three players off the roster: Janis Strelnieks, who is not on the VTB League team list, and Nikola Milutinov, who is recovering from a shoulder injury, and Joel Bolomboy, out with ankle issue.

WORD TO THE COACH

Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

First, I expect to see many fans on our arena, it will be a great boost for our team. Second, we are 2-0, but we remember that we need one more win, so we are focused, determined and decisive to go for it. We know it's not going to be easy because UNICS has a lot of values and qualities, they will try to use them all the way through.
