We have been fortunate to be a part of the Swiss Cup Finals with SAM Basket Massagno! The team did amazing in the tournament beating a top team in the semifinals to pave the way into the Finals in Fribourg. This was SAM's second appearance in the cup finals, the first one was 21 years ago. So last Saturday, I boarded one of the three fan buses leaving Massagno to head to Fribourg (4 hours away). The fans were all amazing, all wearing matching t-shirts and scarves, beating on drums and using a megaphone to cheer! Amazing experience to be a apart of!

SAM was competing against Union Neuchatel Basket. A very physical and aggressive team. 
And lucky for me, the team was able to get me a photo press pass. Yay!

The game was great to watch but unfortunately it did not go SAM's way. They lost by four points in the last seconds of the game. You could tell how deeply disappointed the players, coaches and fans were. There were tears in the eyes, but hugs of  enormous pride that the team achieved making the Finals. Even though they were plagued by injuries throughout the season, they were still able to showcase their talents all the way to the Cup Final. Cheers to SAM Basket Massagno on a great season!
