About the Event

Darüşşafaka Doğuş’ opponent on this special evening will be a powerhouse of European basketball: CSKA Moscow. Having bolstered its ranks with leading Turkish players like Semih Erden, Ender Arslan, Emir Preldzic and Oğuz Savaş as well as foreign stars including Marcus Slaughter, Reggie Redding and Manuchar Markoishvili, Darüşşafaka Doğuş made an excellent start in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague by beating the Italian rivals Dinamo Sassari.

Darüşşafaka Doğuş intends to deny success to the Russian CSKA - one of Europe's greatest teams that has been on the Final Four in 12 of the previous 13 seasons. With the star players like Milos Teodosic and Nando De Colo, CSKA Moscow is the best candidate for leadership in Group D. In the first Euroleague game of the season, CSKA demolished its strong opponent Maccabi Tel Aviv by 100-69.
