The score after 30 minutes was 63:57.
Ilirija opened the last quarter brilliantly and with a mini series of 5:0 the guests came to only half a basket behind, but the Students, carried by the incredible atmosphere of the packed Skenderija, managed to respond and with top play they managed to increase the advantage. The Students, with a great play, reached the maximum plus 17 with five minutes left.
By the end of the match, Ilirija tried to come back, but the Students, carried by the fiery Sarajevo audience, left nothing to chance, so the final score was 88:74.
