There has been something going on with the Turkish clubs in recent years. Anadolu Efes winning back-to-back EuroLeague titles and Fenerbahce Beko playing 3 finals between 2015 to 2018 were already very impressive signs of success on a consistent basis. But they were not alone.

Frutti Extra Bursaspor was the cinderella story in last year's EuroCup competition. This was not a fluke. The club has been steadily working throughout recent years to bring talented players into its roster, players who have something to prove and aspire to go to the next level.

Frutti Extra Bursaspor keeps shaping the roster for the upcoming season. Although some important names from last year's campaign, like Onuralp Bitim and Dave Dudzinski, renewed contracts, there will be some remarkable changes from the team that reached the EuroCup final and pushed the BSL champions Fenerbahce Beko to the decisive game in the playoffs. 

2022-05-19

In the Game 3 of the Turkish League quarterfinals series Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul eased past Frutti Extra Bursaspor 93-81 (21-24, 29-22, 20-15, 23-20) and advanced to semifinals.

Even though Bursa had plus 14 (67-53) in the third tally, Fenerbahce came within 7 points before the decisive 10 minutes of the match (61-68).

Nevertheless, the hosts arranged a game-deciding 10-0 spurt at the start of the fourth and gained a 15-point advantage (78-63), which was too much to handle for Fener.

Andrew Andrews and Onuralp Bitim were outstanding for the winners.

It would've made the headlines all day long, and it would have been the biggest underdog story of EuroCup ever.

But yet, it was an objective that could not even be imagined at the beginning of the season. Frutti Extra Bursaspor's cinderella story finished at the hands of the mighty Virtus Bologna, led by the final MVP Milos Teodosic and co.

The power of the opponent was self-evident, and playing against so much talent and experience, it was almost mission impossible from the very beginning. But yet, Bursaspor fought bravely by repeatedly making runs to cut the double-digit leads.

"I would like to make one point very clear," said Dusan Alimpijevic, the coach of Frutti Extra Bursaspor.  

"I am not disappointed at all," said Alimpijevic. "I am very proud, and I am very happy. There is no need for sadness. I am glad to work with players like this. We played well. We fought well, not only today but through the entire season. Not only with players but also the president, the sponsors like every single person in the organization."

The coach is right by all means. But still, one cannot help thinking about "What ifs" in so many instances during the game, when a legendary road for the European title seemed not that far away. 

What Ifs 

What if John "The Pitbull" Holland and Andrew Andrews-the nightmare of Virtus Bologna with 37 points in their matchup in the regular season- made some more shots to get better than 3/14 FG combined?

"Once again, it is a good indication of the importance of Andrews for us," Alimpijevic commented.

"He had an injury picked up from the Andorra game, and he did not practice until the last day before the final. That was a factor as well. He was guarded well. All eyes were on him."

Virtus Segafredo Bologna were crowned as new 7DAYS EuroCup champions by downing Frutti Extra Bursaspor80-67 (25-12, 16-19, 21-22, 18-14).

With this win, Virtus got a ticket to the 2022-23 EuroLeague season. They will come back to the strongest continental league after a 14-year break.

Virtus not only won the EuroCup competition for the first time in the club's history but also became the first squad in Italy to do so.

Derek Needham and Onuralp Bitim extended the successful Bursa's stretch, which started at the end of the third quarter, and Turks were only down by 5 (59-64) with 8 minutes to go in the game.

Though, Mam Jaiteh and Toko Shengelia let Virtus' fans breathe easier with a couple of buckets in a row (70-60). Both clubs were trading baskets, while Mam Jaiteh and Milos Teodosic organized a crucial 5-0 run with 1:36 to go. Virtus got a stop on the other end and sealed the deal.

Frutti Extra Bursaspor are getting ready for the final countdown before the biggest game in the club's history: The Eurocup Final against Virtus Segafredo Bologna.

The brand of Virtus does not require any explanations as the sleeping giants of European ...

In the first EuroCup semifinal, MoraBanc Andorra (4) couldn't keep up with Frutti Extra Bursaspor (7) despite a good start in the first half. The Turkish side pulled another upset and reached the first EuroCup final of their history. The final score was 85-68 (22-20, 16-14, 25-22, 22-12). Andorra's offensive struggles came back into the final quarter when the Spanish team scored only 4 points in ...

"Underdogs? I don’t care. We are not just some dogs. We are Pitbulls, hrr," would have said John Holland, the late signing of Frutti Extra Bursaspor guard, if he gets to see this headline. Well, he is not without a point. In their only second-ever campaign in EuroCup, Frutti Extra Bursaspor defied all the odds to reach the semi-final stage after coming over Partizan and Cedevita Olympia in ...

It's money time in European basketball. This is where the competition escalates and reaches its climax, with the cups and titles being won or lost. You will see it almost everywhere, and the 7DAYS EuroCup is no exception. It is the semi-finals already. And like every season, EuroCup delivers some big surprises. The memories from last season are fresh: Virtus Bologna, the utmost favourites of the ...

After the two remaining quarter-finals played tonight, we now have the complete picture of the EuroCup semifinals. Valencia Basket, which defeated Metropolitans 92 tonight, will host Virtus Bologna in what will be probably the most anticipated game of the season in the competition.

In the quarterfinals of the EuroCup and in what will be remembered as a really exciting game Slovenian side Cedevita Olimpija (3) suffered a home loss against Frutti Extra Bursaspor (7). The final score was 85-83 (23-21, 27-15, 17-28, 18-19). After another basket by Yogi Ferrell, Jacob Pullen forced Andrew Andrews to an offensive foul and gave Cedevita Olimpija the last hope. But on the final ...

7DAYS EuroCup is a tournament of upsets. Last season, everybody expected to see Virtus Bologna win the competition, but they did not even make it to the final. In 2017, few predicted that a shorthanded Unicaja Malaga would come over the heavy favorites Valencia after they lost the first game. But they did. In 2009, Sergio Scariolo led Khimki was the big spender of the competition, but they were ...
2022-04-20
Being the most offense-centric team in modern 7DAYS EuroCup history, Frutti Extra Bursaspor caused serious troubles for Partizan NIS Belgrade at Stark Arena, eliminating the favorites from the competition. Turks edged out the Serbian powerhouse 103-95 (20-20, 17-18, 27-22, 20-24, 19-11) in the overtime thriller. After a 10-0 run at the start of the third quarter, Bursaspor were up by 9 points ...
2022-04-20
Partizan Belgrade host Frutti Extra Bursa tonight, with a place in the EuroCup quarter-finals at stake. The Serbian powerhouse is by no means willing to give up on their home court advantage, something that Joventut Badalona didn't do against ratiopharm Ulm on Tuesday night. Zeljko Obradovic's 28-9 record in the EuroLeague playoffs with Panathinaikos and Fenerbahce can provide some comfort, but it ...
2022-03-08
Following his short-lived and uneventful stint with UNICS Kazan, John Holland will continue his career in Turkey with EuroCup team Bursaspor.
