Both teams are coming off a defeat that doubles their motivation. Tomorrow evening at the PalaTaliercio (8:30 PM), Mestre will try to make up for last week's 39-point home defeat, while Dinamo wants to erase the home defeat against Montecatini.

It's only the third round, but it's indicative of whether Banco can play a leading role despite the ongoing absences of playmaker Kajami-Keane and winger Michele Vitali, while playmaker Pisano is close to returning but won't be at risk yet.

Coach Luca Vitali introduces the opponent: "A young team that loves to run and shoot in transition. They'll defend tough and with their hands on their shoulders. In addition to the Americans Curry and Varence, they also field excellent Italians like Calbini and Valsecchi. We'll have to have a tough and humble approach, because whoever faces us always wants to prove something against Dinamo."
