The Virtus Civitanova can do nothing against the incredible ballistic evening of the Luiss Rome, which purges mercilessly from the bow (18/27 from 3 to the end) and sweeps away every ambition of the eaglets. Civitanova’s dreams of glory lasted only a few minutes in the presence of sci-fi shooting percentages by the coach team Paccariewho left no escape for the coach guys Slaves.
Moreover, the one you least expect can do badly with the heavy shot, the former Teramo, opens the dance Di Bonaventura: it’s his three triples in the first 5 ‘that give Luiss confidence, so when he also queues up Pasqualin with two pincers of nine meters each the tear is already quite wide (9-21 at 5 ‘). But you know it is true that the university students strike with surgical precision, Virtus for its part is unable to do much to stem the storm. Another five points from Pasqualin send Civitanova already at -15 with still 1 ‘to play in the first quarter and only a bomb of Rosettani keeps Virtus vaguely in the game at the start of the second period (14-26). The white and blue, without Dessì influenced and with Musci soon burdened with 2 fouls that put him out of the game, they hold a blow in the first minutes of the second period, then the Luiss gives another break: D’Argenzio e Legnini they get off the bench and sign up for the heavy throw festival and when convert also punishes in the painted the gap has risen to 20 points (23-43 at 19 ‘).
You expect a virtuoso reaction at the opening of the third quarter to try to give everything and instead it is Luiss who actually closes the accounts: the 0-11 partial signed Jovovic–Barbon throws Virtus at -31 (31-62 at 25 ‘) actually sends the credits to the match and opens a very long garbage time. The eagles sink to -39 when Legnini grabs the 18th triple (out of 24 attempts) of the university evening (50-89 at 33 ‘), then Musci and Felicioni at least they manage to limit the damage until the final 68-95.
A hard lesson for the biancoblu, but there is no time to get depressed: with only five games to play the margin of error, to avoid the last place, is increasingly reduced.
