VidiVici Occhiali Bologna has been confirmed as one of the stars of the Italian basketball season in the home games.
At a packed Palamalaguti stadium, the Bolognese team played an all-out game and came second in the Tim Cup Final Eight 2007 along with the championships' top teams.
It was an emotional weekend for the Vu nere and, spurred on by a championship to remember, they enthralled the crowd of fans who had come to support the team.
VidiVici Occhiali Bologna had the best of starts in the Final Eight when it beat Whirpool Varese by 69 to 62. A match that was all uphill at the start but was immediately put on the right track by an incredible Best. But it was Blizzard's triple at 3 minutes from the end which brought this first match to a close.

The final also saw VidiVici Occhiali play a hard game against Italian champion team Treviso right up to the last shot, proof that it is one of the toughest Italian basketball teams to beat.
