A Homecoming... and A Measuring Stick

Trieste’s long-awaited BCL return meets a Galatasaray group that already looks the part of a contender.

Trieste: Welcome Back To Europe, Now Make Shots

There was plenty to like about the occasion, less about the finishing. Trieste were competitive for stretches in Würzburg but 22.9% from three and 52.9% at the line won’t travel or hold at home. Ramsey’s 14 were a reminder he can be the pressure valve, and the backcourt minutes with Colbey Ross should steady the half-court.

Israel González will want quicker decisions early in the clock to avoid late-clock heaves that hurt the percentages on Tuesday. The building will give them a bump; converting it into extra possessions (crashing selectively, picking up full court after makes) is the path to a statement night.

Galatasaray Mct Technic: Runners-Up With New Teeth

Different season, same ambition—but with fresh pieces. The front office kept Will Cummings and James Palmer Jr., reunited with club great Errick McCollum, and added size and activity with Freddie Gillespie. The headline so far is Fabian White Jr., who announced himself with 26 in the opener and gave Yakup Sekizkök a true matchup-proof forward. Galatasaray’s first punch versus Igokea was a measured one: defended, lived in transition spurts, then buried the game with a ruthless third quarter. They don’t need to be spectacular here, just composed. Win the glass, keep turnover numbers tidy, and trust their deeper shot creation to separate after halftime.

Can Trieste avoid a 0-2 start as Runners-Up storm the Rubini?

Trieste need this to avoid a 0-2 hole before a brutal away swing; a home win would reset Group E and validate the project on the club’s first European night in years. For Galatasaray, a 2-0 start—and a road one at that—puts real pressure on the group and underlines their intent to go one better than last season.
