The Italian Cup, an objective invoked by president Allievi, will not arrive in Cantù. Cagnardi’s team (in the photo) immediately surrendered in the semi-final against Forlì at the Final Four in Rome. 60-59 the end of a match where the Como players crashed into the Romagna defense, making all the mistakes at the end.
At 56-56, in fact, Hickey was called for two offensive fouls, and with ninety seconds to play, Bucarelli forced a triple at -1 despite his numerical superiority. Shortly afterwards, Pascolo takes an offensive rebound after Pollone’s mistake from the line, while to tell the truth, after Baldi Rossi’s sensational triple of -1 with five seconds left, a contact with Hickey seems clear just before the siren.
But it is Forlì who passes, and for the Como team it is a failure that undoubtedly hurts, especially taking into account the latest results in the clock phase. 11 for Bucarelli and Baldi Rossi, 10 for Hickey and Nikolic, above all the 13/33 from 2 was heavy for a team that would have the men to do well in the paint, and instead also collected a 45-33 on rebounds.
A bitter disappointment that could call into question future plans linked to the coach.
