On Sunday at noon the PalaSerradimigni parquet hosts a highly motivated Olimpia Milano, after the defeats in the league against Pistoia and in the Euroleague against Zalgiris Kaunas. Winger Filip Kruslin presents the match like this: «Milan is the strongest team in the championship, it's a good opportunity to play as best as possible and then we'll see where we will be».

In the previous four seasons Sassari won only once and often lost by significant margins. If Milan needs points for morale and a playoff-bordering ranking, the Sassari team needs points to chase the Final 8, because as the Croatian player claims: «As long as there is the possibility of fighting for the Final 8 we will try, it's right, we have to try to do our best."

Compared to the victory against Scafati, there is a slight possibility of a return for point guard Whittaker, who was out for ten days with a flu virus. The long Diop is still absent.
