The 2016–17 Triobet Baltic Basketball League was the 13th season of the Baltic Basketball League and the second under the title sponsorship of Triobet.[1] The season began on 11 October 2016 and concluded on 6 April 2017. Vytautas defeated Pieno žvaigždės in the finals to win their first Baltic Basketball League title.[2]

Overview

[edit]

This season’s competition includes 7 teams from Estonia, 6 teams from Latvia, 3 teams from Lithuania and one team from Kazakhstan and Belarus, which will play all their games away.[3] For the regular season the teams were divided into two groups of seven teams and competed in a round-robin competition system, with team facing each of their opponents twice. The teams qualified for the eighth-finals based on their ranking after the regular season. Twelve clubs from the regular season advanced to play-offs and will be joined by three Estonian and one Lithuanian club, all of whom have been knocked out of other European competitions. The four clubs joining directly in the play-offs will be University of Tartu, Vytautas, Kalev/Cramo and TLÜ/Kalev, all seeded respectively 1-through-4, based on their accomplishments and combined results of the past three seasons in domestic leagues and Triobet BBL.[4] All play-off games are played in home-and-away series.
