Serie B basketball, Luiss Roma loses at home against Sant’Antimo

  • 24 April 2023

Luiss Roma loses and this is news today. Slide at home against Sant’Antimo for 76-78.

This interrupts a winning streak and a record of home victories that Luiss maintained for almost a whole year, more precisely for 358 days.

With this defeat, Luiss is reached at 44 by Roseto, but maintains the first position by virtue of the best difference between baskets. The big match (recovery of the 26th day) on Wednesday 26 April against Ruvo di Puglia at the Palaluiss at 20.45 will be decisive. Luiss seems to dominate against a good team like Sant’Antimo and flies up to +13 pushed by Murri, Jovovic and Legnini. At the start of the second half, a triple from Fallucca let Luiss escape 56-40 and when the game seemed over, the guests with triples from Sgobba and Scali placed 30 points in the third quarter alone.

The match heats up and the defenses raise the walls. The ball doesn’t enter anymore and scoring counts as double. Sant’Antimo smells business and tries to lead by 6, but first a triple from Barbon then another from D’Argenzio and the boys from Paccariè go back to -2. Guests don’t tremble from the line and the game vanishes like this. Luiss can immediately do it again on Wednesday in the super big match which is worth first place.
