Only one goal left: the conquest of the Scudetto playoffs. Eighth place is enough, but like seventh, reserve one of the two big names in the first round: Virtus Bologna or Milan. Having lost access to the Italian Cup for the third time in thirteen seasons, Banco di Sardegna concentrates on the run-up to the playoffs.

By now they are all playoffs or almost, because it is a question not only of winning but also of guaranteeing a positive balance in the direct clashes to be exploited in probable arrivals on an equal footing with more formations, given the balance of the championship. Brindisi arrives on Sunday (PalaSerradimigni at 19.30) which is paired with the Sassari team at an altitude of 12. The victory is mandatory to try to grab the eighth which is Brescia (committed to Verona) opponent against which Dinamo lost by 2 points at home and he will have to try to equalize with a coup of at least 3 points in the match on 12 February. In fact, it must be remembered that since last season the calendar of the second round does not follow that of the first leg.

Here are all the formations against which Banco has accumulated a disadvantage: Varese -6, Treviso -8, Trieste -6, Pesaro -6 and Venice -10. All in all recoverable scraps, but Bucchi's team will have to always or almost always play to the best of their possibilities, which in this championship make them oscillate between sixth-seventh and tenth-eleventh place.
