APU Udine defeated Varese 84-81 on the road with a big second-half comeback. The home side had a heavy first half, but Udine tightened up their defense and turned the game in their favor.

Club President Alessandro Pedone said that winning in Varese this season seemed like an almost impossible target. Pedone stressed that with this victory the team once again showed the value of the group. He also said that despite the negative picture in the first half, the players did not lose their confidence and determination, and that they had returned to the defense that is also their trademark in Serie A.

Pedone named the hero of the match, Andrea Calzavara, as the most decisive player with 27 points. The president said it had been proven that an Italian player can change the balance in Serie A. He also said they were worried about Ziga Sisko, who apparently got injured, and that they hoped his condition was not serious.
