Overview

edit

Brescia writes the club's history in Europe by achieving the Top16 of the EuroCup Basketball for the first time since its foundation. They were eliminated in the very last match against Reyer Venezia.

The 2019-20 season was hit by the coronavirus pandemic that compelled the federation to suspend and later cancel the competition without assigning the title to anyone.[1] Brescia ended the championship in 3rd position.
