Treviso still believes: win the challenge with Udine and get back in the salvation game

Treviso, at the moment, is last in the standings with “only” 12 points won. The salvation quota, however, is not far away. At 14 points is Dinamo Sassari, at 16 is Pallacanestro Cantù and, at 18, both Guerri Napoli and APU Udine, that is Saturday’s opponent. In fact, a win is needed to keep hoping.

NutriBullet Treviso Basket, after a home loss to Napoli, hosts APU Old Wild West Udine, also coming off a home loss in the derby against Trieste. In addition Coach Nicola’s team also has to deal with the memory, negative, of the first leg (victory of the Friulians 86-79).

There is, however, the conviction that they can do well, as explained, to Il Gazzettino di Treviso, by Radosevic, Treviso’s long: “The destiny is still in our hands, it is necessary to face one game at a time with the conviction that we can beat anyone by becoming more solid.”
