Potenza Picena eventually got rid of Sora in the deciding game 5 of the semi-finals and will be Corigliano’s opponent in the final. The series with a place in the SuperLega at stake will begin on Friday May 1. It will be third against fourth of the regular season.
“The best teams are the ones who reach the final – said sport director De Pato – Potenza disposed of Sora, which is a team, together with two others, that should have cruised to the final. We could not have got any tougher opponent than Potenza. Their run in the regular season and playoffs was extremely productive, they got better game after game. It will be very difficult to have the better of a team that play loose, with a fast and witty game. But we’re also aware of our quality, we play with composure and that helps us a lot, especially on the road. The boys have understood how important it is to stay humble and have respect for the opponent”.
