7DAYS EuroCup Top 16 - Round 5 MVP: Artsiom Parakhouski, Rytas Vilnius
 
No player came up bigger this week than Rytas Vilnius big man Artsiom Parakhouski, the MVP of Top 16 Round 5, whose last-second jump shot meant a one-point road win that saved his team from elimination. Parakhouski's jumper with less than 1 second on the clock gave Rytas a thrilling 77-78 win in a do-or-die game over Partizan NIS Belgrade, eliminating the hosts while allowing Rytas to play AS Monaco next week in a winner-take-all showdown for the last 7DAYS EuroCup Quarterfinals berth. Against Partizan, Parakhouski shined with a game-high 22 points on near-perfect 10-for-11 two-point shooting to go with 8 rebounds and 3 blocks for a performance index rating of 30, the highest among the players on winning teams this round. The highest PIR of the round, 35, belonged to Tyler Larson of Fraport Skyliners Frankfurt, playing in just his second EuroCup game. Larson posted 24 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in a 68-83 home loss against ratiopharm Ulm. Three players followed with index ratings of 25: Alex Renfroe of Partizan, Justin Cobbs of Cedevita Zagreb and Joe Ragland of Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade. Renfroe flirted with a triple-double, collecting 11 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds and 2 steals in the loss to Rytas. Cobbs had 19 points and 6 assists in an 87-81 loss at MoraBanc Andorra.
