Varese beat Roma in overtime

Pallacanestro Varese defeated BC Roma 110-103 at home in the Italian Basketball League. The game went to overtime, and Varese returned to winning ways after losses to Peristeri and Trento in recent weeks.

Head coach Kastritis said he was pleased with his team's effort. Kastritis noted that the score stayed very close for most of the game, and that the players did not give up despite the dips in the first and third quarters. Highlighting the bond within the squad, Kastritis said this win was an important step for the group's spirit.

Nikolic stood out with 11 made shots on the court. Librizzi and Ikangi also drew attention with their contributions off the bench. For Roma, Olynyk was the most eye-catching player, scoring 38 points with 53 evaluation points.

Kastritis acknowledged that there are still areas to improve, particularly defensive rebounding and foul management. He said he believes the team can achieve better results if it makes progress in these areas.

Varese's next target is a road game at Bamberg. Kastritis said the match is of great importance to the club and that preparations will begin immediately.
