BC Roma's Bianchini: Project Will Continue Even Without NBA Europe

BC Roma honorary president Valerio Bianchini spoke at the presentation of Matteo Cazzulani's book "Fino alla fine, NBA Europe e le basket City". Bianchini made statements about the club's future and its relationship with NBA Europe.

Bianchini said the passion for basketball in Rome erupted during the derby. Stressing that this interest must be preserved, he said the two new clubs should build a technical structure in youth basketball. He noted that BC Roma has been working with its under-13 teams.

On NBA Europe, Bianchini said Roma has an interest in it, but that this interest has continued regardless of NBA Europe's selection process. He was clear about the club's future: "Ci sarà comunque una squadra BC Roma che proseguirà la sua avventura." Bianchini also touched on the role of Donnie Nelson and the club's advisory board, which is made up of names from American and European basketball.

The seventh round of LBA has been completed. Virtus Bologna beat Scaligera Verona 95-81. Overcoming its opponent's resistance, Virtus won the game with a spurt in the final quarter.
