Regular Season Round 21: Milano - Cantu 88-86

Date: March 9, 2026
Fourteenth-ranked Cantu (5-16) made lots of trouble for third ranked Armani Milano (15-6) on Monday. Armani Milano managed to secure only two-point victory 88-86. However their fans expected much easier game. International Giampaolo Ricci (202-1991) stepped up and scored 22 points for the winners and Argentinian swingman Leandro Bolmaro (198-2000) chipped in 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Four Armani Milano players scored in double figures. The best for the losing side was Mali center Oumar Ballo (213-2002, college: Indiana) with a double-double by scoring 21 points and 12 rebounds and American guard Erick Green (190-1991, college: Virginia Tech) scored 15 points and 4 assists (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field). Cantu's coach Nicola Brienza rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Armani Milano have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain third place with 15-6 record having just 36 point less than leader Virtus BO. Newly promoted Cantu keeps the fourteenth position with 16 games lost. Milano will meet league's leader Virtus in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Cantu will play against Napoli (#13) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
