Eagles qualify from EuroChallenge group in second place

Beşiktaş Milangaz 77 – 78 Fuenlabrada

After a slow first quarter that saw them trail 25-12, the Eagles got their act together in the second and were down only by one at the break, 41-40. They upped the pace in the early part of the second half to take a 63-50 lead into the final frame, but poor defence in the closing stages cost them the game. Mensah-Bonsu had a game-high 24 points for Beşiktaş Milangaz while Erceg and Hawkins followed him with 15 points each.
