Regular Season Round 26: Virtus BO - Cantu 89-79

Date: April 13, 2026
The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Virtus Bologna as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Virtus Bologna defeated 13th ranked Cantu at home 89-79. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Cantu. Virtus made 17-of-21 free shots (81.0 percent) during the game. American Carsen Edwards (183-1998, college: Purdue) scored 34 points (!!!) and 4 assists to lead the charge for the winners and the other American import forward Derrick Alston Jr (206-1997, college: Boise St.) chipped in 17 points during the contest. The former international Giordano Bortolani (193-2000) responded with 17 points and French forward Ivan Fevrier (202-1999) scored 10 points and 5 rebounds. Four Cantu players scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Newly promoted Cantu keeps the thirteenth place with 18 games lost. They share the position with Sassari. Cantu will play next round against Varese trying to get back on the winning streak. Virtus will try to continue on its current victory against fifth ranked Tortona on the road.
