BC Rilski Sportist are hosting KK Torus - SC Boris Trajkovski tomorrow night in Arena Samokov in a game from Round 9 of the 2011/2012 EUROHOLD Balkan League regular season. The two sides already met in Skopje, as the game was won by the Bulgarian team, so Rilski will be looking to improve their balance against Torus to two wins, while the Macedonian side will try to get revenge and get the win in Samokov.In their first meeting this season BC Rilski Sportist took the win after a strong second half performance and an 80:85 result in the end. Branko Mirkovic led Riletso with 19 points, while Filip Vukosavljevic had 18. Dimitar Karadzovski had 20 for Torus against his former team and Justin Reynolds added 17 along with 12 rebounds.
Rilski really need a win right now, as they are in a bad period, having lost two straight games in Bulgaria (one for the championship and one for the Cup) and one in the BIBL. Torus also lost their last game, as they fell short against KK Feni in the Macedonian league.
Branko Mirkovic is Rilski′s leader, as the Serbian guard averages 17.4 points and 4.6 assists, leading the team in both categories. Filip Vukosavljevic adds 15.5 points and a team-hight 6.9 rebounds, while Ante Bilobrk and Martin Marinov score 8.0 points per game each.
Former Rilski Sportist guard Dimitar Karadzovski will be the main threat for his old team, as he leads Torus in scoring with 16.7 points and 4.8 assists. Bojan Trajkovski adds 13.3 points, while Justin Reynolds nearly averages a double-double - 13.0 points and 9.0 rebounds.
Rilski are currently third in Group (4-4) after the loss to Mornar last round, while Torus are sixth (2-5). However Rilski must pursue a victory, since Timisoara are right behind them (3-4), but have played one game less.
The game tomorrow is scheduled for 17.45 local time.
