Coming back home
First two games MBA played on the road. Now our fans have an opportunity to see home debut.
The best start
MBA started the season with two wins and became the 5th team in VTB League history with similar result as a rookie. Furthermore, our team performed best "+/-":
1. MBA (2022-23): +47
2. CSKA (2009-10): +35
3. UNICS (2009-10): +24
4. "Zenit" (2014-15): +20
5. "Spartak Saint-Petersburg (2011-12): +19
On the opposite sides of the standings
If MBA didn't loose in this season for now, "MINSK" is on the last place in VTB United League with two defeats: against "PARMA" (48:77) and CSKA (63:107). One more negative moment for the team is that they score less than other teams in the League - 111 points in 2 games. MBA has second result - 189 points. Only CSKA scored more (192).
On the road like at home
"Minsk" played vs CSKA on October, 8th, and decided not to come back home before the second game in Moscow in a row. So, Minsk team is staying here more than MBA - our players come back from Astana only yesterday in the morning.
The quote
Vasiliy Karasev: "First of all, I want to invite our fans to the tomorrow game to support us in home debut. It's a special moment for all of us. About the game, "Minsk" is very good team with a lot of young players. We have to forget theit results in two games, because they just try to build team chemistry as we do. We are expecting tough game, so we will give all our energy to make third win, especially at home. We have not so much time after "Astana" for recovery, but it's not an excuse. All we need is to show our usuall performance".
