Group C Breakdown
The 24 Regular Season teams - including two teams from the Qualifying Rounds - are broken down into four groups of six teams. They will play a round-robin system where each team plays each other in the group at home and away. The top four teams from each group will advance to the Top 16.
Here is break down of Group C
Teams
CSKA Moscow (Russia)
Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv (Israel)
Virtus Roma (Italy)
Caja Laboral (Spain)
Union Olimpija Ljubljana (Slovenia)
Team QR2B
CSKA Moscow have gone through a major change with a new head coach but the core of the talent is still there which has led the Russians to reach seven straight Final Fours. And CSKA will be favorites to win the group. Maccabi Tel Aviv will also challenge for first place as will Caja Laboral - who most fans will know as the former Tau Ceramica side. Group C also has one of the two teams from the qualifying rounds.
