MUNICH (Germany) - The Semi-Finals lineup of the 2024-25 FIBA Europe Cup season is now complete, with Bilbao Basket, Cholet Basket, JDA Bourgogne Dijon and PAOK mateco all advancing on Wednesday.
There was late drama in Türkiye as Tofas Bursa had wiped out a 12-point deficit from the first leg, only for Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman's three at the buzzer to send Bilbao through.
Cholet and PAOK both defended home court after first leg draws with Casademont Zaragoza and Fribourg Olympic, respectively, while Dijon enjoyed a double over MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg.
The Semi-Final pairings are as follows:
Bilbao Basket (ESP) vs JDA Bourgogne Dijon (FRA) Cholet Basket (FRA) vs PAOK mateco (GRE)
Bilbao are into the last four for a second successive season, while Cholet are one step away from reaching a second Final having been runners-up in the 2022-23 season. Debutants PAOK are aiming to become the first Greek club to lift the title, with Dijon also enjoying a strong run in their first campaign. The Semi-Finals will be played over two legs, with the highest-ranked side from the Second Round earning home advantage for the reverse fixture.
The ties are set to take place on March 26 and April 2, with the exact dates and times to be confirmed.
