Should Danny Franco\u2019s team move on to the next round, they will not have home court advantage and the first game will take place on either March 26 or 27th with game 2 slated for March 30th and if necessary game 3 will be on April 3rd.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_101009\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-101009\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3535.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3535.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3535-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-101009\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danny Franco &#8211; Photo Credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cWe are all ready and are anticipating this game,\u201d Franco said. \u201cI along with the entire team believe that the way we played throughout the season will take us to the right spot especially together with the crowd that came a long way to help push us. I am sure that everyone will come to fight and give their best to win the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Veteran guard Will Cummings also looked ahead to the big game, \u201cIt\u2019s always tough, every time you make it to the playoffs that is where all of the good teams are, so we have to really take it one game at a time. It\u2019s been a long season and we\u2019ve played a lot of games. Everybody is experienced now so we just have to go and win, play defense and make sure we do all of the little things and take it one possession at a time. When we were playing in Belgrade we didn\u2019t have any fans so it\u2019s great to have the support. When it\u2019s loud and hearing chants throughout the game, that is factor that we are looking to use and hopefully that will help us.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_101195\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-101195\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_5446.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_5446.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_5446-610x407.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-101195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Will Cummings &#8211; Photo Credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nBar Timor added, &#8220;We are very excited to play in front of the crowd that came from Israel to support us.

We have had a good week of preparations and we just want the game to begin.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Hapoel Holon readies to meet Promitheas Patras in Greece (19:00 Israel time) as they currently sit at 2-2 after games of Round of 16 group stage play and will need to win this game in order to make it to the final contest at Murcia to have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals. Should the purples lose to Prometheas they will be eliminated automatically from playoff contention.

We will have to limit their leading guards, Hale and Cowan, not allow the forwards free shots and do a better job on defensive rebounding.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOffensively we will have to improve the pace we had from the previous game against them where we were dragged into a slower style of play. They are a team that presses with the guards very high and I hope that we will create advantages with the help of proper spacing and aggressiveness in the paint via penetration or post ups on their guards. After a period of time with a number of injuries, we will travel with an almost full squad to the game. We will have to find the best chemistry and lineup to win in order to have a chance to continue to the next stage.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_106067\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-106067\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240311_002825_638.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-106067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240311_002825_638.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240311_002825_638-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240311_002825_638-610x610.jpg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240311_002825_638-440x440.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-106067\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oz Blayzer &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nFinally, Hapoel Jerusalem will tipoff against Peristeri in Szombathley, Hungary (21:00 Israel time) as the reds will look to clinch a place in the quarterfinals with a victory over Vassilis Spanoulis\u2019s squad.

As for the Israeli league, everything will come in the playoffs.
