Olimpia extended convincingly its winning streak at 14, defeating Avellino 95-78 before 7.100 spectators and storming into the Final Eight next weekend in Desio where the first opponent will be Avellino once more.. It’s also the win number 27 at home in regular season games. EA7 struggled in the first quarter, going down by 10, 17-7, then took control of the game, dominating inside with Samardo Samuels (20+10) and out on the perimeter with a terrific MarShon Brooks, who finished with his first 20-point home game in league play. Olimpia took advantage of the game to get back Alessandro Gentile and Shawn James, who was a defensive presence. With Coach Luca Banchi sidelined by a bad flu, Massimo Cancellieri led the team and won his second win as acting head coach in two seasons.
