Young Lovcen facing Levski in the final tonight

Tonight at 17.30 in Universiada Hall in Sofia, the young team of Lovcen is facing the hosts of the 2010 EUROHOLD Balkan League Final 4 - Levski Sofia in the final game of the tournament. Lovcen is participating for the first time in the BIBL, so just playing in the Final 4 is a huge success for them, but Miodrag Cadija said that they will try to take out the maximum.   To get to the last and most important game of the season, Lovcen had a tough way to go. Miodrag Cadija`s boys finished first in Group A, with a balance of 5 wins and 3 losses. In the quarterfinals they knocked out the other Montenegrin team - Mornar Bar, after winning in both games - 77:80 in Bar, and a week after that 84:76 at home in Cetinje. In the semifinals, they surprised everyone by beating Feni Industries, whoe were considered favorites by many, as the final score was 81:74. Levski will have to look out for Aleksa Popovic. The 22-year old forward played a terrific game in the semifinal, finishing with 27 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and a block. Also Bojan Dubljevic and Damjan Kandic are good rebounders, as Dubljevic had 15 boards and Kandic added 9 in the semi. Miodrag Cadija has a good bench, and gives a chance to all of his young players to prove themselves.   On the other side, we have Levski, who are considered favorites by almost all fans and experts. They have a big advantage, since they are playing in front of their home crowd, and Konstantin Papazov asked the fans to support his team in the best way they can. Levski finished first in Group B of the EUROHOLD Balkan League with a record of 8-2. In the quarterfinals they defeated Rilski Sportist. In the first game they lost 89:74, but a week after that the blues demolished Rileco at home by 109:84. In the semifinal, Titi Papazov`s side defeated Euroins Cherno More 91:76 in a similar way - after losing to them a week ago (in the NBL). Aaron Harper struggled to find his way in the first half of the semifinal game, but once he started scoring in the second half, the game was over for Cherno More, after he scored 12 unanswered points, and finished with a total of 20 . Donald Cole came up big off the bench notching in 21, while Stefan Georgiev was a force in the paint with his 16 boards, so he`ll have interesting match ups against Dubljevic and Kandic.   The game is going to be officiated by Shmuel Bachar (Israel), Ioannis Foufis (Greece) and Aleksandar Glisic (Serbia). Commisioner will be Eleonora Rangelova (Bulgaria).   The starting hour is 17.30, as the game will be broadcasted live on BNT and live in the internet at http://live.sportmedia.tv
