Dinamo's farewell to the Final 8: victory is not enough to banish the crisis in Reggio Emilia
The Sassari team, out of the Italian Cup, must beat Brindisi to break away from the penultimate place
Victory banishes the crisis of the Sassari team in Reggio Emilia 99-74. The day confirmed the farewell to the Italian Cup and underlined that a second candidate for relegation has not yet been indicated.
For the third time since Dinamo arrived in Serie A, they will not play in the Final 8 of an Italian Cup won twice (2014 and 2015) and almost a third time (in 2017 lost against Milan). In fact, the victory over Brindisi in the last first leg will not be enough because in case of arrival at 14 points with Brescia, the Lombard team who conquered the PalaSerradimigni pass after an overtime.
Nor could the arrival of a threesome where there is also Scafati , beaten by Bucchi's biancoblù 86-76, because Brescia also won against Scafati, by just one point. The success against Reggio Emilia , never in difficulty as in this championship, was precious for Banco also considering the other results .
In fact, the advantage over the penultimate group remains 2 points and there is not yet a second team that appears weaker (two are relegated) given the success of Naples (with Pancotto on the bench) against Milan in extra time. That's why Dinamo must give continuity to the victory in Reggio Emilia : in this very balanced season, the difference between the playoffs and relegation is only 4 points for now .
