THE TAKE

Lauretana Biella hosts Brose Baskets Bamberg in Italy on Tuesday in what surely feels like a do-or-die game for both sides. Bamberg will win Group H if it wins this game, while Biella needs to win the game to reach the Last 16. Bamberg could still advance to the Last 16 if it loses to Biella by 17 points or less or if Nymburk loses in the other Week 6, Group H game. Brose Baskets wins the group if it beats Biella, or loses by 2 points or less and Nymburk loses. For Biella to advance, it must beat Bamberg by at least 18, unless Ventspils beats Nymburk, in which case it can beat Bamberg by any margin and advance. Biella can win the group if it beats Bamberg by at least 41 points or if it beats Bamberg by at least 3 points and Nymburk loses. Bamberg edged Biella 87-85 when they met in December. The teams have much different strengths. Biella is led by star guards Pietro Aradori and Joe Smith, who will have to get past Anton Gavel, John Goldsberry and Brian Roberts to generate points. Bamberg powers the ball inside to big men Tibor Pleiss and Elton Brown, who help open the floor for wingmen Predrag Suput and Casey Jacobsen. Biella turns to its blue-collar big guys Pervis Pasco and Kieron Achara and shooter Sven Schultze to defend in the paint, while looking to Matteo Soragna to bring his experience and shooting to help lead in this crucial game. The two teams are among the best three-point shooting sides in the competition – Bamberg first at 48.1% and Biella sixth at 44.7%. Neither team features many players to have been involved in such a high-pressure game, a fact that could easily affect things like outside shooting. Accordingly, look for two players that have been there, Soragna and Jacobson, to shoulder extra responsibility at least early on to get their teams going. If either team struggles early, the pressure could mount and topple their Eurocup dreams quickly.

Fred Jones and Massimo Chessa connected on back-to-back three-pointers as the hosts took their first lead. John Goldsberry sank a pair of free throws to knot the game at 17-17 after 10 minutes. Despite a Chessa layup, Roberts sank a three and Elton Brown scored from the line as Brose Baskets regained control. A Soragna triple tied the game again. Aradori scored 3 free throws and then knocked one down from behind the arc before a Soragna three put the hosts up 32-26. Suput calmed his team with a three-pointer, but baskets by Jones and Aradori preceded a Jones triple that helped Biella to a promising 42-32 halftime lead.

BECHI, LUCA Lauretana Biella "Our team approached the game in the right way. Maybe we went up by 15 too early and they found and scored open shots to come back. We finish our Eurocup season with 4 wins and 2 losses. It is unlucky that we played the whole Eurocup regular season without the full roster, but the guys that played showed their potential, so I feel confident about the rest of the season in the Italian League."

FLEMING, CHRIS Brose Baskets "First of all, the conditions for me were very strange going into the game, because if we win we are first, but we can lose by 17 and still go to the Eurocup Last 16 anyway. Both teams did not play a very good game. In the second quarter Biella played good defense, at the end of the third quarter we came back and we tried to win the game to go first in our group to have a better position for the second round."
