Season debut in Serie B for College Basketball, which takes the court in Verbania in the Super Cup match to face Fulgor Basket Omegna. The hosts, after an excellent collegiali start, put their veterans in rhythm and prevail 87 to 74 at a distance. The good performance remains and the excellent face unlined by the young white and blue, who will complete the preparation with some scrimmages, before returning to Verbania, again against Omegna, for the debut in championship.
Superlative start of College, which arms its shooters, in particular A. Ferrari and Jovanovic giving the first break in the match and forcing coach Andreazza to timeout. Omegna comes out well from the suspension and, relying on the games of the collective, shortens and overtakes, with Bushati on the shields. College seems to feel the blow, but the reaction of the white and blue arrives. At the long break the hosts lead in double figures, but Airaghi and his teammates are widely in the game, 49 to 36 the score. A.Ferrari continues scoring and College believes it. The match gets slightly nervous, Paffoni finds many points from the free throw line and despite the gap between the teams widening, College is always afloat. In the final, the boys of coach Stefano Di Cerbo lack the flicker to bring the game to a point-to-point thrilling, Omegna intelligently manages the possessions and, thanks to a few baskets from Piazza and to the points of Balanzoni, he imposes himself 87 to 74.
We keep the good performance shown at the absolute debut, confident that we will be ready for the first of the championship.
