Canaan’s Reds are rolling in Euroleague
Former Murray State star Isaiah Canaan’s first season as a member of the Olympiacos BC team is quickly becoming quite memorable.
Canaan is continuing as the starting point guard and is contributing to a team that is maintaining the lead in the Euroleague standings. As of Monday, the Reds, as they are known, sit atop the Euroleague with a record of 17-7, one game ahead of Real Madrid BC out of Spain.
In addition, the Reds — perhaps nicknamed as such in order to differentiate from their Athens-area arch rivals, the Panathinaikos Greens — also play games in the Greek HEBA A1 league, where they are undefeated this season at 15-0. Combined with Euroleague games, the Reds are an impressive 32-7 this season.
