In its third game in four nights, Olimpia showed signs of fatigue against Pesaro, had too many turnovers, missed too many fouls shots but was proud enough to produce an excellente defensive fourth quarter turning a 3-point deficit into a 8-point win, 75-67. In the last quarter Pesaro was held at 13 points, had four turnovers and was 4 for 14 from the field. Jordan Theodore completed the job offensively scoring 18 points on his way to a game-leading 24 points (plus 7 rebounds and five assists). He was everywhere leading a small line-up capable to score 24 points in spite of a bad shooting night by a very fatigued Andrew Goudelock. Kaleb Tarczewski had a convincing offensive game scoring 10 points, with 5 for 6 from the field and grabbing eight boards. Olimpia will finish its preseason on Wednesday in Cremona when Coach Simone Pianigiani will have the entire team with the excpetion of the injured guys. The season will officially starts next weekend in Forlì with the Italian Supercup.
