Milan coasts into the semis
EA7 Emporio Armani Milan is the first club to reach the Italian Cup semifinals after swatting aside Dolomiti Energia Trento 80-57 on Wednesday evening. Ettore Messina’s side was led by Johannes Voigtmann and Shavon Shields, both of whom had 14 points. Devon Hall and Shabazz Napier contributed 9 points each, too. It was a defensive masterclass by the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague club, with Nicolo Melli causing all sorts of problems for Trento as Milan led 65-35 after three quarters of play.
Fenerbahce responds after a slow start
Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul has set up a semifinal matchup with Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul in the Turkish Cup after beating Aliaga Petkimspor 68-81 in the quarterfinals. Tarik Biberovic was the star of the night for Fenerbahce with a team-high 22 points, with Johnathan Motley adding 14 and Nigel Hayes-Davis contributing 12. Despite Aliaga ending the first quarter with a 22-21 lead, Fenerbahce outscored its opponent in each of the next three quarters as it secured the victory.
Zvezda edges past FMP
An inspired performance by Nemanja Nedovic allowed Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade to defeat FMP 80-75 in the Serbian Cup quarterfinals. Nedovic finished the night with 20 points, with teammates Dejan Davidovac and Adam Hanga chipping in with 15 and 13 points, respectively. Former Zvezda center Ognjen Kuzmic had a dominant performance for FMP with an 18-point, 15-rebound double-double, but it proved to be in vain. Zvezda led after each of the four quarters, but never more than 5 points (17-16, 40-36, 58-55, 80-75).
