Split 2013, European Championship diary: Entry 4

The basketball halls in Split remained completely empty on Thursday. Tomorrow, the KIT team will enter the knockout round where the hosts from Split await...

A tough opponent for the team of coach Uli Himstedt, who was able to watch the opponent in the decisive game for the group win against Vienna last night. It is not only the fact that they will face the hosts in a cramped arena with a great atmosphere that makes the task so difficult. Above all, the quality of the nimble and fast Croatians makes the match a real test of endurance.

Thursday began for the team with a training session at 11.00 a.m. where, in addition to the athletic part, the university team from Split was discussed in detail. Just how seriously the Croatians take the KIT selection was shown by the fact that two officials from the Split selection watched the training session.

After the session, coach Uli Himstedt gave the boys time off, allowing the players to organize their own time. In addition to visiting the beach, some of the players explored the beautiful old town of Split and enjoyed the day off...

However, the focus is already on tomorrow's match. Tip-off is at 18.00!

We will of course keep you up to date as always...
