UCAM Murcia vs Unicaja - Head to Head

Unicaja have blown out UCAM Murcia in their only two BCL meetings by margins of over 15 points.

  • Unicaja - UCAM Murcia 83 - 67 (April 2023, BCL Quarter Finals)

UCAM looking to beat Unicaja in all-Spanish Final Four matchup

Sitting atop of the Liga Endesa, Unicaja look like a formidable team this 2024 season. Having won their last 8 BCL games, and having beaten UCAM Murcia twice already this term, the Andalusians look like a lock for the BCL Final in Belgrade.

However, Murcia has been nothing short of exceptional continentally, getting the upper hand in 11 of their last 13 BCL contests.

With an incredible lockdown defense (the only one with sub-100 Defensive Rating in the BCL) Sito Alonso's Unicaja looks to lock the final they went so close to locking in last year's Malaga Final Four. Will playing away from the José María Martín Carpena ease off the pressure for Dylan Osetkowski & co, or will they be missing the push of playing in front of their home fans?

A drop in focus could prove lethal, as UCAM Murcia is ready to take advantage of any slips from Unicaja: Marko Todorovic, Dylan Ennis and Jonah Radebaugh represent a solid core, capable of solving even the hardest defensive challenges posed by the seemingly impenetrable Malaga unit.
