The hope is that the European cup will lift Dinamo's morale and relaunch them in the championship too. Tomorrow at the PalaSerradimigni (8.30pm) Ludwigsburg will be on stage, having been beaten in Germany two weeks ago 89-79.

If Bucchi's blue and whites concede an encore, they will secure third place which gives them the right to a play-off to advance to the Fiba Champions League.

The German team pairs well with Banco di Sardegna because the two centers Edigin and Childs do not exceed 201cm and therefore the absence of Diop can be better masked. It is no coincidence that in the first leg the pivot Gombauld and the winger McKinnie together grabbed 21 rebounds. Behind the first leg victory, an excellent team performance with five players in double figures.

Tomorrow's match and Saturday's match will also be a test for point guard Whittaker, so far the most disappointing player compared to expectations.
