Team Info
CSKA has had a long history of success. They won the European Cup, the predecessor to today's Euroleague, in 1961, 1963, 1969 and 1971; won the Soviet championship 25 times (including 16 in a row from 1969 to 1984); and won the Russian title every year from 1992 through 2000 and 2003 through 2007. CSKA also made the Final Four of the Euroleague in 1996, 2004 and 2005 before winning the Euroleague in 2006.
The 2004-05 team became the first in the history of the Euroleague to go through the regular-season phase undefeated, and before the final four it had only lost to one team: Barcelona. Though CSKA eventually lost in the semifinals on their home court to Spanish club TAU Cerámica and to Panathinaikos on the 3rd-place game. That sent them to the 2nd grade teams in the Euroleague draw, although they finished the league with the best record. This year they also lost a game in the finals series of the Russian league, but they eventually got the crown.
In 2006, CSKA qualified for the Euroleague Top 16 by finishing third in their group. They finished top of their Top 16 group, being denied a perfect record at TAU in their final match. CSKA entered the Final Four on a roll as the only club to sweep their best-of-three quarterfinal series, defeating Turkish power Efes Pilsen. They defeated Barça in the Euroleague semis before throttling the normally high-powered Maccabi offense in the final on April 30.
