Rudupis have begun
In the opening game of 2011, Ventspils looked like they would continue to build on a slight early lead throughout the game but Rudupis had other ideas, coming out the stronger of the two sides in second half, bringing the deficit back to a point to set up an enticing final quarter in which the hosts were able to stay calm in the dying stages. Forward Povilas Butkevicius led the scorers with 17 points and Adas Juskevicius added 14 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists for the winners. Rudupis is currently second of the Baltic League behind Ventspils.
