“A sport that moves us every day, with every attack, every defense, every pass, every effort. To experience this courtside, on a weekend where we had to turn the page from an unexpected defeat on Saturday to a victory against the toughest opponent.”

“Playing with the standings in hand, knowing that it wasn’t enough just to win; we had to win by at least four points. The drama of regulation time. Man, what Clark played was insane, it was one of the greatest individual performances I’ve ever seen, especially in overtime, right there courtside. The ease and control this guy had to win the game and take Corinthians to the next round.” he began.

After defeating ABC Camp from Ecuador and Quimsa (Argentina), along with a loss to Defensor Sporting from Uruguay in the second round, Corinthians now awaits its quarterfinal opponent—which will take place between November 14 and 16—in two groups of four teams.

Later, Bulgarelli commented on Corinthians’ history in Basketball, stressing that the sport deserves a larger audience to honor the players: “We know the road will be tough, but may the seed be planted and may the Corinthians fans, a centenary club with deep roots in football, not forget basketball. The orange ball of Corinthians will always be respected and must be respected. Who knows, maybe with a fuller gym, with more encouragement from… This isn’t just the dream of journalist Bulgarelli, it’s the dream of the fan who came here, who suffered, who cried, who was moved by a resounding victory.” he said.

Throughout its history in the sport, Corinthians has four national titles and three South American titles. In the 2018 season, they won the Liga Ouro and began their return to prominence in Basketball. In addition, they have 13 Paulista titles and one FIBA International Cup in 1965.
