A delicious, sweet jumper with less than one second to go by MarShon Brooks saved the night for Olimpia and kept the hopes of winning the Italy Cup alive. In the quarterfinals, Avellino was good enough to force a grind-it-out battle, with low shooting percentages, many turnovers, mistakes and defensive dominance. Olimpia was a little bit better in the and: David Moss forced an Adrian Banks turnover and gave the possession back to EA7 with 19 seconds left and the score tied at 58. Olimpia let Brooks handle the ball. He refused the pick and made his move with perfect timing in order to make his mid-ranger and win the game 60-58. Samardo Samuels had a terrific game inside scoring 19 points to go along 12 rebounds. Linas Kleiza made the only two three-pointers Olimpia ad throughout the game and Nicolò Melli grabbed 7 boards. The Italy Cup semifinal will oppose Olimpia to Brindisi.
