Dinamo receives Brescia, beaten last year in the quarter-finals of the championship
Away team without the former Nikolic, who replaced Dowe in Sassari when he was injured
New Year's Eve for Bucchi's team who will receive Brescia tomorrow at the PalaSerradimigni starting at 20.45. It is forbidden to lose, because Germani has a two-point lead and therefore would become unreachable in view of the Final 8 of the Italian Cup.
Dinamo still has fresh memories of the 3-1 championship win in the quarter-finals , with two high-scoring home victories: 98-65 and 98-95. The top scorers in those two games were Kruslin and Burnell.
Brescia arrives in Sassari without three players, injured . Petrucelli (19 points per game), Caupain (11.4) and Nikolic, who after replacing the injured Dowe at Banco had been called up to deal with Caupain's absence. The number one public danger, without Petrucelli, is Della Valle, who scores 17 points per game and averages 7 free throws shooting from the line with 94%.
Dinamo hopes to recover at least one between Gentile and Treier , also because if Brescia has a long squad that can cope with two-three absences, Bucchi's formation has a shorter bench, even if the answers from the Italians in the last few have been comforting races.
