Virtus Bologna, Scariolo loses another pawn and warns, “The impact will be hard.”
Virtus Bologna will face Baskonia
Virtus Bologna coach Sergio Scariolo presented the challenge valid for the 15th day of the Euroleague, which will see the Bologna team engaged on the court of one of the surprises and the most in-form teams since the beginning of the top continental competition: the Spaniards of Saski Baskonia.
The coach of the Black Vu, in addition to Jordan Mickey, Semi Ojeleye, Leo Menalo and Awudu Abass, will also have to renounce French guard Isaia Cordinier, due to the flare-up of a left knee problem.
“Another away challenge in front of us in which we will be without some important players. Baskonia is in a great moment, especially at home: their numbers are really good, especially in terms of points scored and shooting percentages and, recently, also in terms of defensive efficiency. They have added two important players in their roster building like Henry and Enoch, this confirms their ambitions and their desire to do well both off the court but also on the court, where they have great organization and energy. They can also count on the great support of the fans. We will have to be aware that the impact will be hard and we will have to be ready to take the opportunities we will have during the game,” Scariolo told Virtus Bologna’s official channels.
