MCR on the brink in Europe

Manchester Basketball's maiden voyage into European competition has seen them on the edge of qualification for the last 16 with two group games still to play.

A victory over Gimle (Norway) or Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) in their remaining two ENBL group games will see Manchester qualify for the latter stages of the competition. Notable home wins over Keila, Prishtina and BK Opava, coupled with an away victory over Brussels has placed MCR on the brink.

It is still possible for MCR to qualify without a victory in their remaining games but would rely on other results to go in the clubs' favour, six teams already cannot catch Manchester's total it's relying on a remaining four teams to slip up in their remaining games.

A top eight finish would give Manchester a home tie in the knockouts, with spots 9-16 on the road for the play-off knockout game.
