Lovcen facing Feni in the first semifinal
Tonight from 18.15 in Universiada Hall in Sofia, the 2010 EUROHOLD Balkan League Final Four tips off with the first semifinal game. The young team of Lovcen Cetinje, who made the Final 4 in it`s debut in the BIBL is facing Feni Industries Kavadarci, a team who can consider themselves BIBL veterans, since they are in the Final 4 for the second time in a row.
Lovcen finished first in Group A of the EUROHOLD Balkan League, with a balance of 5-3. In the quarterfinals they didn`t have any trouble knocking out the other Montenegrin team in the league - Mornar Bar.
Feni Industries finished second in Group B, with a balance of 8-2, the same as the first team Levski. In the quarterfinals they eliminated another from the new teams in the BIBL - KK Metalac Valjevo.

Dusan Knezevic is their leading scorer, averaging 13.9 points per game. Vlado Popovic and Darko Sokolov who joined the team from Rabotnicki in the middle of the season are havint 12.7 points per game. 4 other players combine for a total of 34.2 points per game.
