Italy lost to Spain in the FIBA World Cup Second Round and with it any chance to advance to the quarterfinals. Luigi Datome thought they had a good chance but failed due to bad offense. And he also didn’t think the referees were at the right level:
“We weren’t the best team but still, not playing our best basketball we had a big chance to win the game. That’s why I’m really sorry about it. I take of course big responsibility for this because the offense was very poor at the end. But I must say that, we didn’t lose because of this, but the level of the referees wasn’t at the level of this game. I have huge respect for referees job and I never say this in my life but I think they weren’t for this level of the game”, he explained.
