Qualification for Round 2 is already secured, so tomorrow's match at the Rasta Dome in Vechta (7pm) is a sort of dress rehearsal for Dinamo's league match in Naples.

Massimiliano Oldoini, Veljko Mrsic's assistant, confirmed this: "We're going to Germany knowing we'll use the match as a learning curve, both offensively and defensively. We'll be trying to better assimilate the situations and defensive rules the new coach is introducing. We'll be able to better manage our rotations to arrive at the Naples match in the best possible condition."

In the first leg played at PalaSerradimigni, Dinamo defeated the German team 105-94, recovering from a 14-point first-half deficit with a resounding second half. The foreign players were the stars: Buie scored 23 points, Marshall and Johnson each added 18, and Thomas posted a double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
