Vikos Ioanninon secures historic first Greek Basket League victory

Vikos Ioanninon achieved a historic 95-84 victory over AEK in the fifth round of the Greek Basket League. This marks the first win for the Ioannina-based team in the top tier of Greek basketball.

Led by Aleik Freeman, who scored 20 points including five three-pointers, and supported by Giannis Karakostas (17 points) and Ioannis Agravanis (15 points), Vikos capitalized on AEK's roster challenges. AEK, which played with only four foreign players due to various issues, saw Giannoulis Larentzakis lead their scoring efforts with 23 points.

The match was competitive early on, but Vikos took control in the second half. A crucial moment occurred when AEK's Greg Brown was disqualified after committing five personal fouls, allowing Vikos to extend their lead during a decisive third-quarter run.
