[quote name='"utkugk":3uz8k1m8']Sorry but what happened to Benetton Treviso? Benetton Fribourg seems directly promoted to second round. Whats problem about them?[/quote]
Another Italian team Orlandina which had to play in the group stage was kicked out of the Italian league and its spot was given to Benetton Treviso. They had to play against Benetton Fribourg but since they took the place in the group stage, Fribourg got an automatic qualification to the second round because they had no opponents in the first round.
Here's the article about that <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.talkbasket.net/news/benetton-replaces-orlandina-in-eurocup.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">[url="http://www.talkbasket.net/news/benetton"]http://www.talkbasket.net/news/benetton[/url] ... rocup.html</a><!-- m -->
