"It will be a historic second season because it is the first time for a Sardinian women's basketball team in a European cup", vice president Gianmario Dettori made his debut in presenting Thursday's match against Luxembourg's Grengewald Huetschtert. It will be played at PalaSerradimigni at 20.30, return to Luxembourg on Wednesday 29 September. Those who pass the round will be admitted to the group stage of the Fiba cup.
The host team has two excellent foreigners: the American-trained Canadian winger Cassandra Brown and the American pivot Mathias, 193 cm, who averaged 12 points and 9 rebounds in Empoli last year.
The coach Antonello Restivo is still without the long American Sheperd, engaged in the Wnba, but he hopes to recover the Slovenian Tina Trebec: “He is working well with the technical staff. She has a great desire to come back and lend a hand to her teammates, but we don't have to think in terms of the greater tonnage of the opponents. The important thing is to be aggressive and keep the pace high ”.
