Cancel the two defeats of Athens and Brescia. Beat Brindisi to give yourself a continuation of the season without looking over your shoulder. Sunday's match at PalaSerradimigni is defined by coach Piero Bucchi as «an important match for us because it must give us a signal after a week that wasn't good in terms of results, we competed to eradicate the problems and the team trained well».

Small signs of hope from the infirmary which has emptied, apart from the Lithuanian Bendzius: «Diop and Whittaker have trained with the team even if partially, they are in the 12 and perhaps they should give us a few minutes, in order to give freshness to the others» .

Two teams face each other who had initial difficulties, but as the Biancoblù coach, a former Apulian player, observes: «Both we and they have won two of the last three championship matches. Brindisi has changed some players and the set-up, they now produce good intensity, but we have trained well and I am confident in a good match, I would be amazed if the opposite were the case."
