Eagles soar high in Euroleague opener

Beşiktaş 81-65 Partizan

Teams matched each other basket by basket during most of the first quarter, but a pair of late three pointers put the Eagles in front by five, 19-14, going into the second. They maintained momentum in the following stanza and were up 39-30 at the break. The second half was all Beşiktaş as they produced some great basketball and pushed the margin into double digits for their first Euroleague home win. Christopher led the Eagles with 25 points while Jerrells added 15 of his own.
