The team from Bologna held the national championship at a high level, taking first place in the standings. Everything went according to plan, and the club made it to the playoffs without any problems.
Virtus did not seem to have the strongest opponent, but he faced unexpected difficulties. Dusko Ivanovich's team started the series confidently with two home wins, and nothing foreshadowed trouble.

ItalyCurrent form
At the last moment, the team clung to the eighth place in the Italian championship standings. Few people expected that the club would be able to prove itself at the start of the playoffs, but the right attitude and motivation helped to surprise in the confrontation with a formidable opponent.
Venice lost two matches in a row, but did not give up. Neven Spahia's team made the right conclusions and had two successful home matches. I especially remember the last meeting, where the hosts turned on the speed after a failure in the first quarter and put the squeeze on Virtus (84:78). Mfiondu Kabengele proved himself in attack and scored a double-double. There is a decisive battle ahead, although we can already say that the club is holding up well.
