Second consecutive home match for Guerri Napoli that faces Banco di Sardegna Sassari tomorrow for their ninth Serie A home game. The match will be played at 8:00 PM at the Alcott Arena
Guerri Napoli, after last Sunday's loss against league leaders Germani Brescia, is ninth in the standings with six points thanks to wins against Treviso, Reggio Emilia, and Trento. Banco di Sardegna Sassari, has won only twice in the eight games played so far, against Trento and Cantù. The island’s team played this week in the FIBA Europe Cup in Germany, where they lost to RASTA Vechta. It was a painless defeat, as Banco di Sardegna Sassari still finished first in their group, qualifying for the second round of the international tournament. Lanzarini, Capotorto, and Lucotti will referee the match.
Coach Alessandro Magro:
“We’re playing once again at the ALCOTT Arena, and before the FIBA break we want to get a win in front of our fans. We’re expecting a tough game. It’s been a complicated week in terms of preparation, but we’ll be ready to face a team that recently changed head coach and has found some confidence and rhythm again, winning important games lately both in the league and in Europe.
Sassari has a lot of offensive talent with Buie, Johnson, and Beliauskas, whom I know well because they played in the Lithuanian league last season, and along with Marshall they are excellent three-point shooters, to the point that they’re the third-best team in Serie A in that category. Thomas knows our league very well and is very good at playing with his back to the basket. It’s a team that plays really well together.
It will be an important, difficult challenge, but we have desire, motivation, and a strong will, despite the cold these days in Naples, to fire up the ALCOTT Arena and bring home a win that would definitely give us confidence and help us climb the standings.”
