The team led by Lucas Victoriano lost to San José 69 out of 66.
It was not the dream start for the Institute in the continental tournament. The Córdoba team faced Deportivo San José and was far from showing its best version. Those led by Lucas Victoriano came close to achieving the epic in the closing stages, but it did not have the power it needed and ended up losing to Derna after falling in a tight 69 to 66.
The redhead was far from having a dream night in terms of shooting percentages. The best of the Institute came from the work of the prisoners; but low perimeter production shut down rival defenses, making it all uphill for the Cordobans. There were a few flashes of good play on the afternoon in Misiones, but the truth was that La Gloria seemed to hold nothing back against the Paraguayan champions, who ended up 12 points ahead, and responded to rival comebacks.
The figures:
Only one player broke the ten point barrier at the Institute. Javier Saiz, author of 12 points (with 6/8 on field goals) is the great figure of the team led by Lucas Victoriano. Bryan Jefferson finished with 9, also contributing 8 rebounds. In San José the best came from Franco Benítez, who contributed 15 goals to the team led by Argentine Daniel Cano. Nicolás Paletta, the other compatriot in the squad, had a great performance, with 9 points and 6 assists on his personal scoresheet.
The continuation of the South American League:
The institute will not have time to blame itself and will take the field again on Saturday, October 14. This time they will face Malvín, who in their debut played against the home team, Obrerá Tenis Club.
