Almost a week after the victorious game over Avtodor, tomorrow, March 17 at 19:00 at the Falcon Club Arena, the home match of MINSK against PARMA-PARI will take place. Read more in the preview.
Season 2022/23
The Perm team is currently fighting for the playoffs and is the leader of pool ”B". In the last five games, Permians have won three victories over Astana (74:73), Samara (72:67) and Enisey (79:78). In order not to lose the leading position, Yevgeniy Pashutin's wards cannot allow losses in the remaining games and will come to Minsk as determined as possible to win. PARMA-PARI will be followed by only two regular season games: at home against Astana and away against Avtodor.
The leaders in scoring the opponent are Justin Roberson (average statistics for the season: 16.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.2 steals) and Bryon Allen (16.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.7 steals).
MINSK point guard Uladzislau Blizniuk: “Tomorrow we will meet with the leader of group B - PARMA-PARI. This is a very good team with strong foreign and Russian players. From a tournament point of view, this match does not solve anything, but we will try to maintain our mood, which was in the previous match, and get another victory.”

We remind you that tomorrow the second ecomatch of the season in the VTB United League will take place at our home court. We invite every fan to contribute to environmental protection and take part in the creation of an art object dedicated to basketball and ecology. It's easy to do this:
1. Bring colored plastic caps with a diameter of 28 mm to the ecomatch;
2. Together with the League team, attach them to a special panel – a future painting, which will gradually be filled in at each eco-match and at the end of the season will turn into a large-scale eco-friendly art object! (The panel will be located in the hall of the arena).
After the ecomatches will be held in each club of the League, the creative group will assemble 12 parts into a single whole and present them to the fans.
The doors of the arena will open for everyone at 17:30. Tickets for the match can be purchased on the KVITKI.by website and at points of sale, and also at the Falcon Club box office. Let's support MINSK together!
