2009–10 Eurocup Basketball

2009–10 Eurocup Basketball Eurocup Men's basketball October 20, 2009 – April 18, 2010 CRO Marko Banić (Bizkaia Bilbao) EuroCup Basketball MVP MKD Darius Washington (Galatasaray Café Crown) EuroCup Basketball Top Scorer Finals 2009-10 Eurocup Basketball#Eurocup Finals ESP Power Electronics Valencia (2nd title) GER Alba Berlin AUS Matthew Nielsen (Power Electronics Valencia) EuroCup Basketball Finals MVP Eurocup Basketball Eurocup Basketball 2008–09 2008–09 2010–11 Eurocup Basketball 2010–11 2009–10 Eurocup Basketball was the eighth edition of Europe's second-tier level transnational competition for men's professional basketball clubs, the EuroCup. The EuroCup is the European-wide league level that is one tier below the EuroLeague level. It began with qualifying round matches on October 20, 2009, and ended with the Eurocup Finals on April 17 and 18, 2010, at Fernando Buesa Arena in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Basque Country, Spain. The competition was won by Spanish club Power Electronics Valencia, who won their second EuroCup title, and also secured a place in the 2010–11 edition of the EuroCup's parent competition, the EuroLeague. For the first time, the EuroCup conducted a four-team final round, as in the EuroLeague. To accommodate this change, a quarterfinal round was introduced. As in the EuroLeague, where the top two teams from each of the four groups in its Top 16 phase advanced to the quarterfinals, the top two teams from each group in the analogous Last 16 phase advanced to the quarterfinals. However, the structure of the EuroCup quarterfinals was very different from that of the EuroLeague — instead of a best-of-5 series, as in the EuroLeague, each EuroCup quarterfinal was a two-legged tie, with the winner determined on aggregate score. Unlike virtually all other basketball competitions, the quarterfinals did not use overtime, unless necessary to break an aggregate tie.http://www.eurocupbasketball.com/ulebcup/home/on-court/format Eurocup 2009–10 Competition System ULEB 2010-02-10 https://web.archive.org/web/20100208214315/http://www.eurocupbasketball.com/ulebcup/home/on-court/format 8 February 2010 dead Teams of the 2009–2010 Eurocup Group stageCountry (League) Teams Teams (rankings in 2008–09 national championships) RUS Russia (Superleague A) 3 UNICS (3) Spartak Saint Petersburg (4) Triumph Lyubertsy (6) ESP Spain (Liga ACB) 2 DKV Joventut (5) Gran Canaria 2014 (6) TUR Turkey (TBL) 2 Türk Telekom Ankara (3) Galatasaray Café Crown (4) SRB Serbia (KLS) 2 Crvena zvezda (2) Hemofarm (3) FRA France (LNB PRO A) 2 Nancy (4) Cholet (9) ITA Italy (Serie A) 1 Lauretana Biella (4) DEU Germany (BBL) 1 Telekom Baskets Bonn (2) POL Poland (PLK) 1 Turów Zgorzelec (2) CRO Croatia (A1 League) 1 Zadar (2) LTU Lithuania (LKL) 1 Šiauliai (3)UKR Ukraine (SuperLeague) 1Azovmash (1) CZE Czech Republic (NBL) 1 ČEZ Nymburk (1)Losers of Euroleague 2009–10 qualifying roundsCountry (League) Teams Teams (rankings in 2008–09 national championships) GRC (ESAKE A1) 1 Aris (4) FRA (LNB PRO A) 1 Le Mans (3) BEL (Ligue Ethias) 1 Spirou (1) LAT (LBL) 1 Ventspils (1) ITA (Serie A) 1 Benetton Treviso (3) DEU Germany (BBL) 1 Alba Berlin (3)Qualifying roundCountry (League) Teams Teams (rankings in 2008–09 national championships) ESP Spain (Liga ACB) 2 Power Electronics Valencia (7) Bizkaia Bilbao (8) RUS Russia (Superleague A) 1 Dynamo Moscow (6) TUR Turkey (TBL) 1 Beşiktaş Cola Turka (5) FRA France (LNB PRO A) 1 Chorale Roanne (5) ITA Italy (Serie A) 1 BancaTercas Teramo (6) GRC Greece (ESAKE A1) 1 Panellinios (5) ISR Israel (BSL) 1 Hapoel Jerusalem (4) DEU Germany (BBL) 1 Brose Baskets (4) UKR Ukraine (SuperLeague) 1 Dontetsk (2) BEL Belgium (Ligue Ethias) 1 Dexia Mons-Hainaut (2) LAT Latvia (LBL) 1 VEF Rīga (3) MNE Montenegro (Opportunity Liga) 1 Budućnost (1) CYP Cyprus (Division A) 1 APOEL (1) NED Netherlands (FEB) 1 MyGuide Amsterdam (1) AUT Austria (Admiral League) 1 Kraftwerk Wels (1) Qualifying round Eurocup Basketball 2009–10 Qualifying Round Amsterdam NED 112–141 Dynamo Moscow RUS 64–63 48–78 2 Dexia Mons-Hainaut BEL 139–142 Power Electronics Valencia ESP 78–63 61–79 2 Kraftwerk Wels AUT 155–169 Beşiktaş Cola Turka TUR 74–69 81–100 2 VEF Rīga LAT 158–168 Panellinios GRE 79–94 79–74 2 Brose Baskets DEU 129–128 Budućnost MNE 64–61 65–67 1 Donetsk UKR 150–153 Bizkaia Bilbao ESP 71–63 79–90 2 APOEL CYP 139–140 Bancatercas Teramo ITA 77–63 62–77 2 Chorale Roanne FRA 162–169 Hapoel Jerusalem ISR 83–81 79–88 2 |} Regular season Eurocup Basketball 2009–10 Regular Season + Key to colors     Top two places in each group advance to Top 16 Group A TeamPldWLPFPADiff 1.
