After the postponement of last Saturday’s race in Corsico, Expo Inox was unable to make the cut this evening the second consecutive home success in the Serie C championship, West B group, overcome by just one point at the Parona building by Wiz Legnano (74-75). For long stretches it was a game of chase on the part of the Lomellino quintet as the guests in the first three halves, supported by excellent shooting percentages, managed to extend their lead (18-23 at 10′, 40-47 at mid-match, 54 -64 at 30′). In the final period, however, Expo’s consistency and determination made it possible to bridge the gap and in the final stages the two teams faced each other point for point. Unfortunately, luck did not reward the hosts who twice had the ball to win, first with Pirovano, whose triple was “spitted out” by the rim, then with a strike by Gabriele Facchi, judged to be a breakthrough by the referees, but it could also have been a foul in favor.
At the Expo the double double of the Frenchman Plomteux (13 rebounds and 27 evaluation) was not enough, well supported under the boards by Lonati (11 rebounds); unfortunately the guard Tonon, still looking for the best condition after the long ordeals (first the ankle injury, then the mononucleosis), was not able to replicate the performance offered two weeks ago against Settimo, while it should be noted that Andrea Facchi once again played through the pain of a knee problem that has been dragging on for some time.
Expo Inox Nba Pirovano 4, A. Facchi 8, Cinalli 18, G. Facchi 5, Tonon 16, Plomteux 18, Colombo, Lonati 5; ne Ltifi, F. Bettanti, Nicola, Gioia. All. Zanellati.
As for the Lomelline teams, the ninth day of the championship will continue tomorrow with Aironi Robbio who will try to recover from three defeats in a row in Opera, while Tromello is scheduled to rest. Next Sunday it will be Expo Inox’s turn to face the away match against Opera, then on Wednesday 22 November the match in Corsico will be made up.
