Regular Season Round 20: Virtus Acea - VL Pesaro 76-80
Date: March 1, 2015
Worth to mention about the upset in a game between Virtus Acea (7-13) and VL Pesaro (6-14), which took place in Roma. 12th ranked Virtus Acea lost at home to fifteenth ranked VL Pesaro 76-80. The guests took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Virtus Acea won fourth quarter 23-18. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. VL Pesaro made 20-of-24 charity shots (83.3 percent) during the game. They also forced 20 Virtus Acea turnovers. Strangely Virtus Acea outrebounded VL Pesaro 37-22 including a 27-15 advantage in defensive rebounds. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Anthony Myles (196-92, college: Rider) who helped to win the game recording 22 points and the other American import point guard Chris Wright (185-89, college: Georgetown) who added 13 points and 8 assists during the contest. Canadian-Nigerian forward Melvin Ejim (198-91, college: Iowa St.) responded with 11 points and 9 rebounds and Croatian point guard Rok Stipcevic (185-86, agency: Alti Sport) scored 17 points and 4 assists (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line). Five VL Pesaro and four Virtus Acea players scored in double figures. Virtus Acea's coach Luca Dalmonte rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. VL Pesaro moved-up to fourteenth place, which they share with OpenjobMetis V. Virtus Acea at the other side keeps the twelfth position with 13 games lost. They share it with Upea CdO. VL Pesaro will play against higher ranked Banco di Srd (#3) in Sassari in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Virtus Acea will play on the road against Cimberio Varese (#14) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
