A stratospheric LUISS stops the leader Caserta

LUISS beats Caserta 91-78 and imposes the second seasonal stop on the leader.

The LUISS wins the duel at the rebound 31 to 21 and is dragged by ‘Bombaccorso’ (26p. 7/10 from 3) and by a great team test that beats with merit a team built to climb in Serie A.

Paccariè prepares his team during the week for a race with the sixth gear: man, zone and changes in a very high and very physical defense that dictates the rhythms of a spectacular and exciting race.

Veccia out of injury and Faragalli recovered in extremis Paccarriè is forced to change his base quintet. Bottioni and Hassan seem to be from another category and Caserta flies 11-2. A triple of Bonaccorso and a recovered one of Marcon immediately bring LUISS back into the match.

The game warms up and becomes captivating. Bonaccorso again from three to overtake LUISS 16-15. Excellent entry of Navarini who defends with determination and puts in difficulty the guys of Caserta,  Di Carmine who recovers and goes into counterattack also had a good performance. First quarter closes 23-21 LUISS.

The LUISS with a great physical effort fights on equal terms with Caserta who seems to spend much less energy. Infante and Martino fight under the planks and bring points and second shots to LUISS.

Bonaccorso continues not to miss a triple, he places 2 of them in a minute and the LUISS flies 43-38. The first half closes with 44-43 LUISS.

To be honest, despite the superlative performance, we all thought that LUISS had spent too much to hold still two quarters, but it was not so the best was yet to come.

The defense of the LUISS in continuous mutation continued to bother and put in difficulty Caserta, Marcon from an unreal wick to Cribeni and Faragalli placed two triples in one minute that give the 59-54 LUISS.

The game is really beautiful and you play a basketball of the highest level. At the end of the third quarter, another triple of Bonaccorso flies the LUISS 67-61.

Caserta begins to be afraid of not being able to recover and tries to react while the defenses rise. Infante and Marcon give the +10, Hassan takes over the team and Caserta goes back to 81-76. But LUISS is concentrated and manages the ball well and brings home important and decisive free throws. Bonaccorso on Faragalli’s assists closes the match on 91-78.
