The women’s basketball team Buducnost Bemaks is seeking a crucial victory against Zagreb on March 15, 2024, following a setback against Partizan. The team traveled to Zagreb with the aim of reinforcing their position in the WABA League standings and keeping their hopes alive for securing first place in the league.
Buducnost Bemaks, based in Podgorica, suffered a disappointing loss to Partizan, which prevented them from solidifying their lead. Their upcoming match against Zagreb is now a critical opportunity to reclaim momentum. A win is essential, as it would allow them to control their destiny in the league, given their competitive record against other teams.
Marija Baosic, the team’s point guard, highlighted the urgency of the situation. She stated, “We have not had much time, but we have tried to prepare as best as possible for this duel. We are aware that this is a difficult away game, and we are extremely cautious.” Baosic acknowledged that while there were positive moments in the game against Partizan, the team made several mistakes that they have since worked on correcting.
The players have a clear strategy: winning three of their remaining matches will guarantee them the top position in the league. However, the match against Zagreb is of paramount importance, even though Zagreb currently resides in the lower half of the table. The Buducnost squad is approaching this game with a sense of caution, knowing that underestimating their opponent could lead to dire consequences.
Baosic noted, “Zagreb has strengthened their roster, particularly with the return of Marta Ostojic, making them significantly stronger than in the first half of the season. They have a much better lineup now, and we must not let their position in the standings deceive us.”
As the season winds down, each match becomes increasingly significant. The competition remains fierce, with Buducnost facing tough teams like Partizan and Montana in the coming weeks. Baosic emphasized the importance of focusing solely on the matchup against Zagreb. “We need to respond after our loss in Belgrade. We must be ready for 40 minutes of high energy, and our desire to win will be crucial,” she added.
The match between Zagreb and Buducnost Bemaks is scheduled to tip off at 16:30 local time. A victory for Buducnost would not only boost their standings but also restore confidence as they head into the final stretch of the season.
