Regular Season Round 8: Varese - Cantu 91-82

Date: November 16, 2025
There was a small surprise when thirteenth ranked Openjobmetis Varese (2-6) won against at home 11th ranked Cantu (3-5) 91-82 on Sunday. Varese dominated down low during the game scoring 54 of its points in the paint compared to Cantu's 34 and made 16-of-21 free shots (76.2 percent) during the game. Varese looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of Nigerian point guard Ike Iroegbu (188-1995, college: WSU) who helped to win the game recording 25 points and 6 assists and Finnish forward Olivier Nkamhoua (203-2000, college: Michigan) who added 16 points and 7 rebounds during the contest. American point guard Jacob Gilyard (175-1998, college: Richmond, agency: One Motive Sports) responded with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists and Polish center Dominik Olejniczak (213-1996, college: FSU) scored 9 points and 11 rebounds. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Varese moved-up to twelfth place, which they share with Reggio Emilia and Sassari. Newly promoted Cantu dropped to the ninth position with five games lost. They share it with Trento and Napoli. Varese will meet at home bottom-ranked Udine (#16) in the next round. Cantu will play against the league's second-placed Virtus (#2) and will have a slim chance for a victory.
