For Treviso Basket, the trip to Varese risks being one of the last appeals for salvation. Nutribullet’s victory against Pesaro at the Palaverde seemed to have chased away the ghosts of relegation, which however returned following 3 consecutive defeats and the Marches who in the meantime have regained their lead at -2 with the direct clash in favour. Winning on the Openjobmetis pitch for TVB would mean continuing to have destiny in their own hands regardless of the result in Pesaro, which will host Cremona at home, on the eve of the last match of the season against Tortona. Varese is one step away from safety, they have won two of their last three championship matches and are willing to close the championship in front of their fans in the best possible way.
Ky Bowman, Treviso Basket guard, is aware of what is at stake: «We must present ourselves with the right mentality and ready for battle. This week we have focused on our weaknesses to improve our strengths, on Sunday we can only take to the field with a single objective. We control our destiny, we have shown that we can stay in touch with almost all the teams we have faced during the season, but now we can no longer afford mistakes. We must remain united, both in good and bad times. The key will be to enter the pitch with the right attitude, keep the intensity high in defense to dampen Varese’s qualities as much as possible. We know what’s at stake, and it’s not just about us but about the entire city of Treviso.”
The refereeing trio will be composed of Bartoli, Gonella, Capotorto. Match live on Eurosport 2 and DAZN (subscription required) on Sunday 28 April at 6.15pm.
