They're the opponent against whom they've won the least on the road: just three in 17 games. Almost a taboo, Cantù has moved from Pianella to Desio, where at 8:30 PM, Cantù hosts Dinamo. Both teams are tied for second-to-last place, four points behind Treviso. Losers are in trouble.
For Banco di Sardegna, this is a chance to bounce back after three straight losses and earn a 2-0 head-to-head record, given their 100-84 first-leg victory. "We're not interested in defending the 16-point lead; we're aiming to win," coach Veljko Mrsic reminded us.
This is Riccardo Visconti's 200th game in Serie A. The former Bologna winger was absent from the first leg, as was point guard Macon, while the Brianza team has new additions in point guard Green, who nearly scored 15 points, French forward Fevrier, a deadly three-point shooter, and a former white-and-blue player, point guard Robinson.
