Nes Ziona defeated Dutch team Landstede 94-88 on Wednesday evening to finish an undefeated round in basketball's Europe Cup, a second-level competition compared to the Champion's League. That includes a forfeit by an Austrian team that did not want to come during the recent fighting with Gaza terrorists.
In the qualifying round for the quarterfinals, Nes Ziona has been drawn with Romanian champion CSM Oradea, whose record of 4-2 was good enough for second place in its group, U-Banca Transilvania of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, which won its group with a record of 5-1, and Belarus' Tsmoki-Minsk, which finished second in its group with a record of 3-3
