After all the games from the EUROHOLD Balkan League this week have been played, the conclusion is that this was the week of the away teams. From a total of five regular season games on Tuesday and Wednesday, four times the away team came out victorious, which shows that the level of the BIBL is moving up and there are a lot of interesting and close games.
The defending BIBL champion - KK Feni Industries grabbed an important win on the road, defeating HKK Zrinjski Mostar 68:76 in Bijeli Breg in Mostar. This win came after a strong and confident performance by Feni during the second half of the game, which was decisive for the final outcome.
In the second game on Tuesday the young Montenegrin squad of KK Mornar Bar showed that they once again can be the pleasant surprise in the new season of the competition. Mornar, whose average age is less than 22 years - 21 years and 8 months stole the victory from one of the most experienced teams in the BIBL - OKK Beograd, beating them 82:89 in CKS Sumice in Belgrade. Last season Mornar played at the Final 4, losing in the semifinals.
The vice-champion of Israel - BC Galil Gilboa extended their winning streak to four games, as they defeated BC Timisoara in front of their home fans in Romania - 76:83. Galil Gilboa are performing confident and good so far and it looks like they can turn into one of the main threats for the championship throne of the BIBL, which is currently occupied by KK Feni Industries.
The runner-up in the 2011 EUROHOLD Balkan League - BC Rilski Sportist Samokov also enjoyed a win away from home, defeating KK Torus - SC Boris Trajkovski 80:85 in an really interesting game in Skopje. This was a vital win for Riletso, as they moved up to second place in Group A, with a balance of 3-1, and their only loss is against Galil Gilboa.
Only Levski won at home this week, as they defeated KK Napredak Rubin 74:72, but the game was interesting until the very end, as the Serbian team showed that they have potential and quality.
