Coach Boniciolli and his staff will be able to have the full squad at their disposal for this treacherous trip, who have worked hard in the various weekly training sessions with the intention of putting the last colorless performance behind them as soon as possible.

The opponent

Dolomiti Energia Trentino has been trained by coaches since the beginning of the season Paolo Galbiaticoach of the Italian Under 20 national team, who is doing excellent things on the Juventus bench, also thanks to a team certainly capable of reaching a playoff position at the end of the regular season, equipped with multiple guns, starting from the power forward Lithuanian Nice guy (14.3 points and 4.7 rebounds on average), the American point guard Baldwin (13.3 points and 4.3 assists on average), the guard Mooney (12.9 points and 4.4 assists on average), of his teammate Hub (12 points and 5.8 assists on average), small forward Alviti (10.5 points on average) and the center Biligha (10 points average). To these must be added the expert playmaker Forray (in his thirteenth consecutive season in the black and white jersey), the small forward Udom and the center Cooke (4.8 rebounds on average), in addition to the young players Conti (guard) e Niang (ala).

The statements

The assistant coach Massimo Costagliola Di Fiore: «The team is aware of not having given a good performance last Sunday and is eager to redeem itself. Winning in Trento would mean sealing the survival issue and opening up a playoff sprint in the final days. To do this we will need to put our anger to rest by playing with great heart, application in defense but at the same time rationality in attack. We will need to control the pace and find balance in the various advantageous solutions, stop their very effective offensive transition and win the rebounding duel where they express great athleticism and physicality. Hubb, Baldwin and Mooney are three very complementary and extremely talented guards, breaking their axis with Grazulis and the pair of long rollers will be another key match».
