B League basketball: LUISS beats also Valmontone

A good performance of Paccariè’s boys allows LUISS to defeat at home Valmontone 74-67 and reach 8 points in the standings after 6 days.

In a crowded PalaLUISS Faragalli and his teammates play a first fourth point to point that ends just on even 19.

Valmonte starts strong in the second quarter and flies to + 7. Martino and Bonaccorso light up and bring LUISS back in a draw on 31-31.

Valmontone runs and plays a good basketball, but suffers from the defensive intensity of university students and loses a few too many balls. Infante begins to find the way of the basket and thanks to a bounce superiority LUISS closes the first half forward 41-36.

Martino and a triple of Veccia give the 50-40 LUISS at minute 23. Valmontone tries to react, but a dunk by Bonaccorso sends the LUISS fans into raptures giving the maximum advantage on the +12,

Grilli and Pierangeli don’t give up and with important baskets take Valmontone on the minus 5: 55-50. A triple of Livelli shortens to minus 3. Bonaccorso comes back on and with 2 baskets brings the LUISS back on +8. Bisconti from Valmontone the minus 5 to 2 minutes from the end, but first Veccia and then Faragalli close it with merit on 74-67.

Next Saturday the LUISS flies to Catania to continue its winning streak.
