AX Armani Exchange Milan (famously known as Olimpia Milano) will play host to the only unbeaten remaining in the tournament, Barcelona in the sixth round of EuroLeague at Mediolanum Forum.
With CSKA Moscow suffering a surprise defeat at the hands of Greek outfit Olympiacos, Barcelona moved to the top of the table following its 83-77 win over fellow Spanish team Valencia Basket. Barca are also the only team in the league with a 100% record in EuroLeague at the moment.
Cory Higgins scored a game-high 20 points in the match and he was supported by Nikola Mirotic (17 points, 3 assists and 7 rebounds) and Adam Hanga, who dropped 13 points and had 6 assists and 3 rebounds as well.
Olimpia Milano, meanwhile, are on a four-game winning streak in the EuroLeague, with their season-opener 78-64 loss at Bayern Munich already looking like a distant memory.
Milan got the better of Alba Berlin on the road after beating them 78-81 in the tough game on the road. Sergio Rodriguez had 17 points while nine other players opened their accounts in the match.
