 Euroleague Basketball MVP for March: Milt Palacio, Partizan Igokea

 Only twice before this season had teams ever started the Top 16 with two
defeats and still made the Euroleague Playoffs.

This month, Partizan Igokea became the third such comeback playoff qualifier
in large part because of the trust placed in - and rewarded by - starting
point guard Milt Palacio, Euroleague Basketball's choice as MVP for March.

In his debut Euroleague season, Palacio found consistency at the perfect
time to help Partizan go deeper into the competition than it has all decade. 
When the month started, Partizan was tied for last place in its Top 16 group
and faced three must-win survival tests against superpower opponents.

Its first victim was eventual group winner Montepaschi Siena, which had been
undefeated to that point. Next, came Partizan's only road win of the round,
against Efes Pilsen. However, those first two victories merely set the stage
for a game that fans in Belgrade, Serbia will remember a long, long time. In
a winner-take-all classic, Partizan ended the Euroleague reign of defending
champion Panathinaikos with an impassioned display of great basketball in the
Top 16 finale. At the center of it all was Palacio, averaging 20.3 points,
4 rebounds and 2 assists while making 74% of his two-point shots, 55% of his
triples and 88% of his free throws during March. And when it came down to the
key shot to stay alive or be eliminated, Palacio not only took and made it,
but in doing so assured Partizan of its first playoff appearance. For lifting
his team to new heights by beating the best, Milt Palacio of Partizan takes
his rightful place on this list of this season's protagonists as the MVP for
March.
