Starting with the Qualifying Tournament in Belgrade (Serbia), where Italy defeated the host team, and ending with today's loss, they showed great heart and unity.

"There's disappointment because we played this game with a lot of determination and we were really close to them in the final minutes. But if I consider the entire journey that we had this summer, well, I couldn't be more proud of what we achieved," Sacchetti said after being eliminated from the Olympics.

We arrived here with a smile on our faces and now the guys were leaving the arena with their heads down. I told them to keep their heads up because what we did in the past two months was incredible. I really hope that this summer will bring more consideration to our basketball movement. And most importantly, I hope that the growth of these guys will inspire other players that want to wear these colors one day because this shirt is the most important one".
