Demanding challenge in the Murcian fort

Girona Basketball seeks to storm the court of a UCAM Murcia that has seven consecutive victories at home

First Team | Wednesday, 06 May 2026

This Saturday, May 9 (6:00 p.m.), Girona Basketball faces one of the most demanding trips of the entire season. The Girona team visits the Palacio de Deportes de Murcia to face UCAM Murcia, which is proving to be intractable in this phase of the championship. The university team, led by a high-level squad, occupies a brilliant third position in the table, tied with the second-placed team thanks to a great record of 21 wins and 8 losses. Moncho Fernández’s team will have to minimize losses and have continuity in capturing the rebound and be able to play their game to get a positive result from one of the hottest courts in the competition.

And the Murcian fiefdom has become a real impregnable fortress. The local team has not lost to its fans since last December 30, an impeccable streak that has already accumulated seven consecutive victories at home, with an intractable David DeJulius in his first season in the ACB (he is the second highest scorer in the competition). Faced with this scenario of maximum difficulty, Bàsquet Girona will try to impose its rhythm, close the defensive rebound and look for the surprise to break the hegemony of a rival who will want to assert its great state of form to remain in the privileged zone of the Endesa League.
