Basketball B: Luiss says goodbye to the playoffs

Luiss comes out of the playoffs giving in physically and psychologically against a well organized and very motivated opponent. Final score 89-66 game split by the second quarter that Chieti closed 31-11.

With this defeat ends a cycle of 5 years of excellent basketball, beautiful victory and terrible defeats, by Faragalli & Marcon and culminated with the splendid battle lost last year at Cassino in the last second.

Chieti shows up at Palaluiss charged and concentrated. Paccariè has tried to work on the head and motivation of the boys. Luiss leans on Faragalli’s triples, who inspired her to make 3. First quarter score and 24 20 for Chieti.
But Chieti is solid and with the second quintet he stretches 35- 24.
Paccariè’s boys play contracts. The ball spins badly and the shots are forced.

Chieti keeps pushing with the bench and flies 42-26. Luiss didn’t find the way to the basket, the continuous doubles on Infante bothered Luiss’s attack mechanism. Chieti extends 50-28
Finishes first half 55-31 and Bonaccorso out for leg tear.
Third quarter with wet powder, Luiss continues to quarrel with the basket and Chieti rightly settle and on +26 drops the intensity and even the curtain. The third quarter is closed 68-43. There is no more game, the end credits run, with applause, baskets and greetings.

We thank Faragalli and Marcon for these 5 beautiful seasons and wish them the best.
