"So far it has been a good year for Turkish teams. Fenerbahce has made the Final Four for two years in a row, and Galatasaray will play the Eurocup final againts Strasbourg. The 12,000 tickets at Abdi Ipekci sold out just in seven minutes for the game in Istanbul. That shows the big interest in the final in Turkey.
