They shot the lights out from three nailing 52 long-distance shots on high 78.8 percentage. Naturhouse Ferrara players were unselfish on offense dishing 26 assists. They brought some defensive toughness making 23 blocks. 113 personal fouls committed by Barese helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of American point guard Julius Mays (188-89, college: Kentucky) who helped to win the game recording 29 points. Power forward Michele Benfatto (205-85) contributed with a double-double by scoring 16 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks for the winners. Naturalized American point guard Mike DiNunno (180-90, college: E.Kentucky) answered with 20 points and 4 assists and naturalized American forward Ryan Amoroso (205-85, college: San Diego St.) added 10 points and 11 rebounds in the effort for Barese. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Naturhouse Ferrara maintains second place with 13-6 record behind leader Agrigento. Newly promoted Barese keeps the twelfth position with 11 games lost. Naturhouse Ferrara's next round opponent will be league's leader Agrigento on the road and it will be for sure the game of the week. Barese will play against Chieti (#11) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
