Basketball, in Serie C nothing to do for CUS Pisa Cosmocare at home with Dragons Prato

Pisa, 24 March 2025 – As predicted, the CUS Pisa Cosmocare loses at home to the second-placed team Dragons Meadow, on the tenth day of the return leg of the championship series C. The university players, who did not do badly, chased for 37', suffering the greater physicality under the backboards and the better precision of the Wool shooters (Iardella above all), highlighting the usual limitations in defense and the difficulty in attacking the paint, which the opponents defended with grit and determination. With three games left in the regular season, only a miracle can now save the bottom team CUS Pisa from relegation.

THE NEWS – I took to the field with Burgalassi, Cecconi, Spagnolli, Siena e Carpitelli, the yellow and blues immediately go down 0-5 but recover with a triple and a basket Spaniards (5-5), before suffering a 10-0 from Prato (5-15). Two triples from Siena and one of Cyan report under the CUS (14-15), ma Iardella wakes up and with 2 triples plus foul, bringing Prato's advantage to double digits, before Cecconi from the arc he reduces it at the end of the first quarter (19-26). In the second one, shorten Burgalassi from three, but Prato defends better than CUS, who manages to lose three actions beyond the 24”, and Iardella and his teammates bring the lead back to 2 digits before the break (28-42)The recovery begins with an eloquent 8-0 for CUS, which shortens with a triple of Cyan at -6 (36-42), but the Dragons raise their heads, and, despite three consecutive baskets and two free throws by Corbic, bring Prato's advantage back into double figures, up to +18, reduced to +14 by Cecconi e Giannelli at the end of the third period. In the last quarter, two triples by Giannelli e Siena shorten the distances (54-62), but Staino and Iardella still hammer from three points and the guests return to +18, before 2 triples by Giannelli and a three-point game of good Corbic slightly reduce the final Pisa gap (70-84).
