The 2010 champions of the EUROHOLD Balkan League - BC Levski Sofia are starting the defense of their title tomorrow. At 17.30 in Universiada Hall in Sofia, Titi Papazov and his boys are facing one of the new teams in the EUROHOLD Balkan League - KK Ulcinj from Montenegro. The game is from Group A of the BIBL.Levski remained with almost the same roster as last year, with one minor change - Bobby Frasor left for Cyprus, but there is another American at the playmaking position - Jason Crowe. Aaron Harper and Donald Cole remained on the team, along with other key figures such as Stefan Georgiev, Gjorgji Cekovski and Asen Velikov. Donald Cole will start his third consecutive season in the BIBL tomorrow, as the leagues all time leading scorer. The 204-cm Texas-born forward has 525 points in 26 BIBL games, making him average 20.2 points per game.
On the other side, we have the complete newbies in the BIBL - KK Ulcinj from Montenegro, set to make their debut in the competition. However, head coach Vladimir Tausan can rely on some players with Balkan League experience such as guard Milos Djurisic, who played 12 games for Mornar Bar last season, averaging 15.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists. The other two are Nikola Jeftic, who has played with Radnicki, and Alen Djelosevic - another former player of Mornar.
Levski have a great balance in the past two seasons, having won 16 games and having only 8 losses.
The game tips off at 17.30 tomorrow and will be broadcasted live on BNT SAT and online at http://sportmedia.tv.
