Euroleaugue vs Eurocup

[SitnonDfence]

Just saw that Lietuvos Rytas didnt qualify for Euroleague...for those of us not fluent in international basketball, is Eurocup the equivalent of our D-Leaugue or heaven forbid the equivalent of the newly formed NBLC?

Im hoping =I dont have to listen to more "Jonas isnt playing against real talent" arguements.

Say it isnt so.
