Virtus Bologna is finally back in Europe. Instead of showing some kind of rust, the storied club is the last remaining undefeated team in the 2018-19 Basketball Champions League season. In Round 7, the last of the first round of the group stage, Stefano Sacripanti’s team got to 7-0 with an away win over Promitheas Patras.
