NEWSUS Valenciennes are through to the Final Four, but they were taken all the way to the wire in their second game with MKB Euroleasing Sopron before eventually winning 74-69.
Having breezed to a 92-55 win in the opening match, this looked like being a formality for the 2002 and 2004 winners, but MKB had other ideas and were desperately close to forcing overtime. |
