Italian Cup Winner: Virtus Segafredo Bologna Historical team Bologna with 15 Championship and 8 Cup winnings, however she has almost gone 10 since her last 2009-2010 Cup trophy.
In my humble opinion, 3 has the best roster in Italy, back of course from Milan on a different level, while it is a little bit behind Veneto.
The team went down to Florence with great thirst for the Italian Cup Final-8 and had the hardest work of any other quarterfinals after being asked to face the absolute favorite to win the trophy Milan.
After overtaking the first minute with Milan taking 8 ahead of the 1 season, he managed to return to the game by closing the half to + 5. With a lot of chips and chasing each phase he never saw the back of his strong opponent again and even if he went to thunder in the last 5 seconds, he got a great win / qualifying with 86-84.
Florence was followed by a lot of people and fairly rejoiced over the team's overpass, while its fans are expected to multiply after the great qualification in the semifinals.
Next rival this year's revelation Vanoli Cremona, who, under the instructions of Romeo Sacchetti, performs an excellent season beyond any expectation. In the quarter-finals the team eliminated Varese with 82-73 and continues, having the advantage of facing the experience of participating without any anxiety.
A great battle is expected from the bench with Stefano Sacripanti and Romeo Sacchetti trying to win the battle of the chessboard, with Bologna's technician having a better and more complete set and experienced players, as opposed to his colleague who still has hands some excellent units such as Saunders and Crawford and the bet on Bologna will be their limitation.
The winner of this pair will, in my opinion, have the first floor and the final against one of Brindisi or Sassari. With the psychology on the heights and with the most experienced roster in such struggles, but also with a lot of people at her side, I believe it Bologna closer to qualifying, especially if the players of Sacripanti show the same zeal and whip as in the game with Milan.
For this reason, I will not just bet on the victory of Bologna in tomorrow's semifinal, which for me is a mistake in outsider odds by Stoiximan, but I will pull it to the end, since in addition to Milan, Venezia was also left out. and was even at +20 tonight, counting without Sassari, whom he allowed to return and send her home.
So I'm betting on conquering the Cup from a thirsty for a Bologna trophy, which has already made the hardest step by excluding Milan.
