Galatasaray travel to Lithuania as Rytas look to make the "Rytas Arena Effect" count once again
It must feel tough as Galatasaray board the plane to Lithuania, to know that the side they're about to face have won 11 of their last 13 games in the Basketball Champions League. Rytas Vilnius have made their arena their fortress, and their hopes to get out of the Round of 16 will pass from their homecourt performance.
It does not help that the visitors, Galatasaray, have come back empty-handed from all their previous 9 road trips in the Basketball Champions League. After pushing all the way to fend off Saint-Quentin's comeback efforts, Galatasaray dropped a home game to Turk Telekom en route to their trip to the Baltics.
Rytas Vilnius have relied on their offense producing 90.3 points per game so far, and have used their size to convert 16.5 second chance points.
Galatasaray will need to try and exploit Rytas' commitment to the offensive boards by running in transition: the Turkish side excels with 13.6 fast break points and 16.5 points forced off turnovers in the BCL so far. Will their perimeter defense give them their first-ever road win in the BCL Round of 16?
