It is a Saturday with a high competitive content for Assigeco, ready to approach the magical atmosphere of the A2 play-offs for the third season in a row, and of great basketball suggestions for Robur et Fides, eager to play the last match of the phase of play in Serie C which effectively closes the championship for teams not qualified for the play offs or forced to play out.
The rossoblu, who left yesterday from Linate, via Palermo, will play match 1 of the quarter-finals “on the road” tonight at the “PalaShark” in Trapani (two-ball at 8.30pm) against the team that dominated their group, the main candidate to the race towards Serie A. A very difficult match that Assigeco can face with the serenity of those who have nothing to lose combined with the pride of wanting to play it all the way. «These matches must be played with desire and a lot of attention – says Stefano Salieri, rossoblu coach -. Every moment must be lived to the full because it can be an opportunity to make a further leap in quality. We earned these playoffs by doing a masterpiece in the strongest group. We want to bring into play all our technical, individual and emotional baggage.”
Robur et Fides hosts Basket Gorle (two-ball at 6.30pm) with the aim of closing a satisfying season in the best possible way, even if only the “magnificent seven” led by coach Mauro Luciano will be available. «We try to thank our fans by closing the championship with a good home victory».
Basket Lodi is also looking for a victory to close the score in the play outs against Cantù this evening (9pm) in Pieve Fissiraga: Lucia Rossi’s team has already won the first two matches, but it will be played as a best of five.
