The slow recovery of point guard Robinson and winger Jones doesn't worry too much Banco di Sardegna who won the last few games without the two Americans. On Sunday in Verona, the Sassari team is looking for the eighth consecutive victory in a commendable series.
The success counts as a mortgage on fourth place given that the only two opponents who seem to be able to undermine Bucchi's biancoblù are Varese (where Sassari has a positive difference between baskets) and Brindisi , with 18 in the first leg even if the Apulians are now in great shape.
In Verona there is also a small record that can be reached by Eimantas Bendzius, only 6 triples from the 300 scored. So far in the Italian competitions (league, Italian Cup and Super Cup) the Lithuanian winger has 294 goals scored out of the 649 attempted, with an excellent 45.3%. Making six three-pointers is certainly not prohibitive: against Tortona Bendzius made 6/14 and against Scafati he shot even better: 7/9.
