Basketball Serie B Interregional Play-In Gold and Out. Costone, a course to reverse. Virtus fully satisfied

"We are very disappointed not to have reached the Play-In Gold, but I am happy with the path of his team and the evident progress shown by the many young players in the roster". Words from the coach of the Stosa Virtus, Marco Evangelisti, who spoke during the week on the programme Tuscany Basketball su Tele Center. Moreover, since Christmas, his team seems to have got into the right gear, after a first phase of the season with too many ups and downs: 10 victories for Stosa in the 12 matches played in 2025, 9 consecutive successes between the first and second phase with a clear path in the salvation pool. Results that brought Virtus to the top of the group, together with Mens Healthy, with whom it is still advantageous in the double confrontation. Now the goal is not to stop: the return round begins by hosting With wood, tip-off on Sunday at 17,30pm, at PalaCorsoni.

Those who want to reverse the trend in the second half of play-in gold are the Rib, slipped out of the playoff zone for the first time after the defeat with Pavia. The return round begins away for the Vismederi which will be on stage on Sunday at 18pm Borgomanero. In the first leg, at the PalaOrlandi, coach Michele Belletti's team was beaten 90-84, a defeat that on paper can be reversed even if the match in Piedmont will not be easy at all (like none in the second phase). The one with Borgomanero will likely be the penultimate match in which Vismederi will be deprived of Ferdinand Hake, injured against Oleggio, with the player who is trying to burn the stages to return available, working daily with the Costonian staff. Nonetheless, the team is called to try to overcome this obstacle too, showing the same commitment seen several times in an unlucky first half of the season.
