Date: March 21, 2012
The most exciting game of round 26 in the SerieA took place in Pesaro. This derby game ended with only three-point defeat on the road of second-ranked Bennet Cantu (15-9) to sixth ranked Scavolini Pesaro (15-9) 72-69 in the game for the second place. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Bennet Cantu. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Bennet Cantu won third quarter 20-15. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Scavolini Pesaro made 20-of-22 free shots (90.9 percent) during the game. 24 personal fouls committed by Bennet Cantu helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American point guard Ricky Hickman (189-85, college: NC-Greensboro) scored 28 points and 6 rebounds (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) to lead the charge for the winners and the other American import guard James White (199-84, college: Cincinnati, agency: Court Side) chipped in 14 points during the contest. Georgian center Giorgi Shermadini (216-89) responded with a double-double by scoring 15 points and 12 rebounds and Georgian guard Manuchar Markoishvili (196-86) scored 17 points. Four Bennet Cantu players scored in double figures. Scavolini Pesaro have a solid four-game winning streak. They moved-up to second place, which they share with 3 other teams including defeated Bennet Cantu. Scavolini Pesaro is looking forward to face Fabi Shoes Montegranaro (#13) on the road in the next round which should be an easy win for them. Bennet Cantu will play against Banca Tercas (#16) in Teramo and is hoping to win this game.
