CAYIROVA, Turkey (Interstat) — Fenerbache Koleji will visit Cayirova on Saturday in a basketball game that pits a 6-2 road team against a home club still looking for its first win of the season.

Fenerbache Koleji has opened with six victories in eight games, including wins over Korfez Basket, Dubai, Bayern, Virtus Bologna, Kecioren Baglum and Karesi Spor. Its two losses came against Bahcesehir Kol. and Panathinaikos. In its most recent outing, Fenerbache Koleji fell 92-74 at Panathinaikos. Braxton Key led the way with 13 points, seven rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes. Wade Baldwin added nine points, three rebounds and five assists in 25 minutes, while Talen Horton Tucker finished with nine points, three rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes.

Key is the player to watch for Fenerbache Koleji. In the loss at Panathinaikos, he produced 13 points, seven rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes. In an earlier game at Bahcesehir Kol., Key recorded 12 points, two rebounds, five assists and one block in 24 minutes. His recent form has given Fenerbache Koleji a steady presence on both ends of the floor.

Cayirova enters at 0-2. The home team dropped its opener at Galatasaray 102-79 before falling to Bahcesehir Kol. 84-76 in its most recent game. Jordon Crawford has been the primary offensive option for Cayirova. Against Bahcesehir Kol., Crawford scored 27 points and added two rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes. At Galatasaray, he finished with 21 points, three rebounds and 11 assists in 35 minutes. Fabian White contributed 13 points and nine rebounds against Bahcesehir Kol., while Nysier Brooks added eight points, eight rebounds and two blocks.

Crawford is the player to watch for Cayirova. His ability to score and create for teammates has stood out during a difficult start for the home side. Cayirova will need support from White and Brooks inside while trying to slow Fenerbache Koleji’s balanced attack.

Fenerbache Koleji’s schedule after Saturday includes home games against Zalgiris, Partizan and Aliağa Petkim, followed by road matchups at Olympiacos, Pinar, Valencia and Real Madrid.

Fenerbache Koleji will lean on Key, Baldwin and Horton Tucker, while Cayirova will counter with Crawford, White and Brooks. The game is expected to test Cayirova’s defense against a Fenerbache Koleji team that has scored at a high rate in several early-season wins.
