Milano hosts Bologna in an all Italian derby

When Milan (3-3) welcomes Virtus Bologna (2-4) on Wednesday, the EuroLeague’s Round 7 will be kicked off by the basketball titans of Italy.

In each of the last two seasons, Milan and Virtus have faced off in the Italian League finals; Virtus won the most recent season.

Milos Teodosic and Daniel Hackett, the two experienced point guards of Virtus Bologna, have won many games for their clubs in the EuroLeague. This week, they will face Milan’s tight defence.

Teodosic, Hackett, and Virtus have seen problems with turnover thus far. Teodosic ranks eighth in the league with 2.6 per game, Hackett is tied for 13th with 2.3, and Virtus has the second-most turnovers per game (17.2) in the league.
