Defeat and relegation with a match to spare, or victory and renewed hope of survival. There's no third option tomorrow at the PalaSerradimigni (5 p.m.) for Dinamo, who face Italian champions Virtus Bologna.

If Mrsic's white-and-blues suffer their seventh straight defeat, they're mathematically relegated to Serie A2. If they win, however, they open up two possibilities with a dramatic victory in Brescia in the final round of the season: if Cantù beats Treviso tomorrow, then the victory against Brescia will be supported by Treviso's defeat against Reggio Emilia; if Treviso wins, however, the victory in Brescia allows Thomas and his teammates to catch up with Cantù and relegate them thanks to their superior field goal difference.

On paper, the odds are all for the league leaders, who have won 11 of their 13 away games. Who knows, perhaps Dinamo will rediscover the momentum of their best years, when they were capable of performing feats against the big names in Italian basketball, even with less than stellar teams.

Banco di Sardegna continues to miss Visconti, a former player, due to injury. The other two former players are Ceron and Polonara, who continues with individual training. Virtus compensated for the absence of point guard Morgan with the signing of Brazilian Dos Santos. Guard Vildoza is also sidelined due to injury.
