Which FIBA Europe Cup records will be broken in 2024?

MUNICH (Germany) - There have been some incredible individual performances over the years in the FIBA Europe Cup with the competition now in its ninth season.

But what are the all-time single-game records? While we take a break ahead of the 2023-24 season resuming in the new year, we dug into the archives to take a look at the record books across multiple categories.

And with a strong lineup in the Second Round, we could be set for some records to be broken in 2024.

POINTS - 41

Trae Golden is one of just two players that have exclusive rights to the FIBA Europe Cup 40-point club, as his record-setting mark against Ventspils overtook Rashawn Thomas' effort set a year earlier.

Kataja Basket's Nike Sibande has come close this season to featuring in this list with his 36 points in October against Oradea. With some elite scorers still left in the competition, could we see a new high mark set in the new year?

REBOUNDS - 21
 

An eight-year record was equalled and then beaten twice in space of a few weeks this season as Keravnos' Travis Taylor's 21 rebounds against Itelyum Varese in November broke the previous mark set by Willie Cauley-Stein a month earlier.

Before that, seven different players - including Taylor in October - had pulled down 19 boards. Cauley-Stein remains in the competition - could he reclaim top spot going into 2024?

Teemu Rannikko, Robert Lowery and Andrea Cinciarini all hold the FIBA Europe Cup assist crown with 18 dimes, the latest coming from the latter back in April 2022.

Olivier Hanlan makes the cut with his 16 assists for Itelyum Varese against Keravnos back in October and the Canadian is now joined in the backcourt by Italian guard Nico Mannion heading into 2024.

Kervin Bristol and French national team member Moustapha Fall held successful block parties back in the 2016-17 season as they both swatted seven shots to hold the FIBA Europe Cup record - and their high mark has not been bettered since.

Wesley Gordon came closer earlier this season with 6 blocks for PGE Spojnia Stargard to join a long list of players in a tie for second.
