The 2006 ULEB Cup champion has returned to the competition and Dynamo Moscow left no doubt about its power by winning Group F. Its only goal is none other to become the first team to win two ULEB Cup titles and Dynamo has lived up to the expectations behind an outstanding Henry Domercant, who became the ULEB Cup regular season MVP, as well as its top scorer. Dynamo has been rolling since its return to the competition, as it thrashed Beghelli Bologna 91-66 behind 29 points from Travis Hansen. Dynamo registered its first loss in Oostende. The team rallied from a 19-point deficit to get within 83-80 but ended up getting a 89-83 road loss despite 27 points from Hansen and 25 from Domercant. Dynamo bounced back with a convincing 97-76 home win against Red Star in which Domercant had 22 points while Antonis Fotsis added 21 and 12 rebounds. It was the start of a three-game winning streak, as Dynamo downed Panellinios 76-83 with 24 points from Sergei Bykov to grab its first road win and then topped Nymburk 94-83 behind 20 points each from Domercant and Robertas  Javtokas. Beghelli took revenge by downing Dynamo 81-62 in Bologna, but the Russian powerhouse did not panic.
