Multiple LSKL champions Vytautas Magnus University (VDU) basketball players are demonstrating with their play that they have no intention of relinquishing their throne this year – Arūnas Juknevičius’s protégés crushed the Kaunas College (KK) team by a margin of 42 points – 118:76 (20:21, 37:11, 30:23, 31:21) at their home court.
The 118 points scored is an LSKL season record.
After the game, VDU coach Arūnas Juknevičius jokingly remarked that they had surpassed Klaipėda’s Neptūnas, who scored 117 points against Jonava Hipocredit in Sunday’s LKL match, to which he replied: “What can you do when your opponents don’t defend? We played in our own arena, where we usually shoot better. This time, we did well to punish our opponents with three-pointers – we made 20 out of 48. If our opponents let us shoot, we shoot.”
Six players on the VDU team scored in double digits: Kajus Leliukas – 20 points (7/9 two-pointers, 7 rebounds, 29 efficiency points), Nojus Vaivada – 17, Rokas Norutis (4/6 three-pointers) and Žygimantas Sabaliauskas (5/8 three-pointers) – 18 each, Domas Uosis (10 assists) and Steponas Baltrušaitis – 10 points each.
