Vicenza basketball closes with Roseto

National Serie B basketball – Last day of a troubled regular season in the Berica house – Vicenza basketball closes with Roseto

Civitus Vicenza, in fact, since last Sunday with the colorless performance of Ravenna, is certain of competing in the treacherous playouts and will close tomorrow at 6pm, referees Suriano from Turin and Alessi from Lugo (Ravenna), hosting the league leaders Roseto at the PalaGoldoni, with the only objective is to win to shake off the very uncomfortable and embarrassing last position that he currently holds in the starting grid for the salvation play-offs.

In the aftermath of the derby with Padova it was clear as daylight that at least one of the last three remaining matches would have to be won in order to avoid the last place on the playout grid. The time has come to do it. Otherwise it will be inevitable to potentially endure two rounds of playout with the best of five matches, with game 1, game 2 and a match away from home, facing a decidedly uphill journey.

Depending on the combination of the results, eight possible scenarios arise for Cernivani and his companions. In only one of them will Civitus be able to count on the field factor in their favor and it is the following: victory by Vicenza and simultaneous defeat by Padova in Jesi and success by Ozzano with Bisceglie. In this case the opponent in the playouts would be Virtus Padova. The program of the last round as regards the relegation zone includes not only Vicenza – Roseto, but also Ozzano – Bisceglie and Jesi – Padova.

Classification:

Padova and Ozzano 24, Bisceglie and Vicenza 22. The playouts are divided into two rounds. Three are saved and retain their place in the national Serie B, one is relegated to the inter-regional Serie B. Vicenza, therefore, will have to fight and throw their heart over the obstacle, going beyond their possibilities, if they want to get to the bottom of a truly complex season.

ROSE GARDEN

Very solid club. It is no coincidence that they are competing for first place in the regular season. To crown this dream, the Abruzzo team, who are coming off two consecutive stops, will have to win tomorrow evening. Gramenzi is the right coach for a lasting project. And despite the farewell of Poletti who preferred to move to Faenza in January, with the enormous aftermath of controversy that was created on that occasion, the team was able to carry on with the quality of Klyuchnyk and Santiangeli, but also Guaiana and Durante proved to be important elements.

And how can we not mention Mantzaris, the Greek winner of 2 Euroleagues in the past. After two years we will see Andrea Petracca again at the PalaGoldoni, a great former player, signed at the beginning of the year by the Abruzzo team, after being out of action for several months with a serious knee injury.

Roseto had 24 victories. Civitus was defeated in the first leg at the PalaMaggetti, where it presented itself much remodeled. It was last January 7th.
