In the second day of the Gianatti International Tournament, Italy and Czech stay unbeaten and will face each other in the tournament game Saturday. Azzurri had a hard time in overcoming pesky Senegal. Although they started the game with a 10-0 run, Recalcati´s guys could not finish off their opponents and slowly blew the lead. Senegal took the lead at the beginning of the third quarter (40-33) as they took over the boards.
