Basketball B league, Game 1 of the semifinal goes to Frata Nardò

A defeat arrives for Basket Serie B in Race 1: the first semifinal ends 83-70 for Frata Nardò. The team withstands the impact of the hosts, suffers in the second quarter, loses the rebounding challenge but manages to stay always in the slipstream. In the final, however, they miss the decisive kick to take back the game.

Nardò starts off strong and hits from every angle. Paccariè’s quintet responds blow by blow: the first quarter ends 20-17 for the opponents. In the second quarter, Infante and Sanna’s points allow us to stay in touch. Then Nardò, led by Bartolozzi, Dip and a series of triples, runs away 48-35.

Pasqualin, Tredici and Martino raise their percentages and a penetrating basket by Bonaccorso brings us to -9. The opponents show themselves tired and frightened by the energy of the university players. Our players, however, waste a lot from the line and the task becomes impossible.

The final horn says 83-70. Back on court Tuesday night for the second act of the series. Come on guys, let’s not give up!
