Nate Renfro is the efficiency outlier in this matchup. At 49.8 TIB EFF with 11 points and 2.5 assists per game in recent form, the Varese guard has built a clear separation from Emanuel Cate, who sits at 40.5 across 9.5 PPG and 1 APG for Ucam Murcia. That gap matters in the Champions League — it often decides these mid-tier continental clashes. Cate will need to impose himself early if Murcia is to stay within striking distance. Renfro's decision-making and scoring consistency have been the backbone of Varese's recent run, and Murcia's perimeter defence will face a real test keeping him contained. A battle of guards, but not an even one on the numbers. Tip-off in under three hours. Watch to see whether Cate can tighten that efficiency gap or Renfro's form continues to carry Varese.
