The 81-98 result achieved last week on Hungarian soil and the excellent form of Jaume Ponsarnau's team suggest a celebratory evening in Miribilla. A massive turnout of fans is expected to support the 'men in black' on their path to another title.

The first leg was largely uneventful, with Surne overwhelming their opponent with three-pointers after an even first quarter. A remarkable team effort neutralized the Hungarian star, Zoltan Perl. This strong performance was replicated 72 hours later with a quality victory against Unicaja, placing the team firmly in contention for the Liga Endesa 'playoff'.

Furthermore, the squad is complete following the anticipated return of Harald Frey. The Norwegian point guard, recovered from a muscle injury that kept him out for a month, has brought his usual dynamism and eased the minute load on Melwin Pantzar, who welcomed his return to the court.

With all these factors in their favor, overconfidence appears to be the only enemy for Surne Bilbao on their way to a second consecutive tournament final. There, they would face the winner of the clash between PAOK and UCAM Murcia.

This would mark their third continental final in their 26-year history. The first was on April 13, 2013, in Charleroi, where they lost to Russian team Lokomotiv Kuban. The second came last season, when Surne Bilbao clinched the first elite title in their history by defeating Greek side PAOK in a two-legged final.
