Milan beats Cedevita in the penultimate act of the Euroleague but the success is not enough to pass to the Top 16 of the top continental competition - thus EA7 relegated to the Eurocup

Olimpia, despite the absence of captain Gentile stopped by an injury, wins in the sprint over the Turkish side Efes, keeping alive their chances of passing the group - The group's situation, however, remains extremely complicated for Milan.

EUROLEAGUE BASKETBALL - Yesterday's defeat jeopardizes Milan's qualification: five victories would be needed to reach the playoffs and the next match is in Moscow - Hackett the best - Championship postponement in Venice on Monday
In front of at least 10 fans, with the heavy snowfall of the last few hours probably preventing the sell-out, Banchi's team will have to bring out everything they have and even something more.
Five wins in ten games bring EA7 level on points with Panathinaikos, who are playing today in Barcelona but ahead in the two-legged match against Milan, preventing Olimpia from hoping for anything more than a fourth-place finish.
Olimpia's point guard decides the match against Bayern at the buzzer, after a 25-point performance - Entry into the top 16 is now just a formality.

Between today and tomorrow, the two Italians involved in the basketball "Champions" face the Turks of Fenerbahce and the Russians of Nizhny Novgorod: two matches that could already prove to be decisive.
The Greeks dominated both in terms of play, but also from a physical and athletic point of view, while EA7 entered the field softly and never knew how to react.
First success in the Euroleague. After a turbo-charged start, the guys from Banchi lose their edge but in the end they find character and are now aiming for the top
