Banco eliminated with ko in Ukraine, Caja’s team wins in Germany
Different experiences for Sassari and Reggio Emilia in the Fiba cups. The Sardinians are out of the Champions League after the defeat in Ukraine; the people from Reggio begin the second phase of the Fiba Europe Cup with a splendid away win.
Prometey-Sassari 89-56
Sassari greets the Champions League. The trip to Ukraine does not straighten a European season that was born badly and ended worse, the good performance of Bologna has no echo against the former Bilan’s Prometey and is worth the fourth and decisive defeat in the cup. First part of the race in favor of the hosts who highlight all the defensive limits of Sassari, Harrison and Dowe hit from distance, Kennedy finishes in the second fraction and Sassari touches the -21. The end of the time, however, smiles at Bucchi’s team who, after having remained attached to the game thanks to Mekowulu and the free, finds an important partial framed by the triple on the siren of Bendzius, a basket that is worth -13 to 20 ‘. After the long pause, Dinamo’s recovery doesn’t come, on the contrary it collapses; in attack, Bucchi’s outsiders are in great difficulty, Robinson and Logan never beat the man, while on the other side of the field, Bilan and his companions, take advantage of the many carelessness of the Sardinian defense, so as to touch the +25 in the third half fourth. The match actually ends 15 ‘early, Sassari raises the white flag and greets the Champions League in the worst way, especially from a mental point of view, while Prometey rages going over 30 ahead.
Sassari: Burnell 12, Mekowulu 10, Logan, Bendzius 9
Prometey: Harrison 17, Kennedy 16, Dowe 15
