18:15 Capo dOrlando – Reyer Venezia

Roster problems for Orlandina, three important players Nicevic (7 ppg and 3 rpg), Burgess (9 ppg and 3 rpg) and Pecile (3 ppg and 3 rpg) are injured. In this match they will play with only 7 players and two of them (Basile and Soragna) have 40 years old. They are great players with a lot of experience but they play always 20 minutes no more because they are not enough for A1. Umana Reyer Venezia have a great roster. They are in first places of the league. They have bought a lot of players from Siena after their failure (they have won a lot of national titles). These are Ress, Viggiano, Ortner and Nelson. Then they have bought players like Goss, Peric, Stone, Tinsley and Dulkys. These players are very good for the league, they always did great matches. They have signed also a great coach like Recalcati. He is a great motivator, in 2004 won silver medal with italy in Athens and also won against USA national team (this match was amazing). They have to win to stay in first places also for National Cup, high stakes here!
