Although the club enters the new campaign with an entirely overhauled roster, coaching staff, and club identity, the trip to Vicenza carries a distinct sense of recent history. The two teams squared off on September 3 during the pre-season calendar, a matchup that saw the white-and-blues pull away for an 80-57 victory on the road.
