"It’s very important to start with a victory, especially at home, but it’s a special victory because we needed to win this game earlier. This group is young, and we must have controlled the game when we were leading by 10 or 12 points. Fortunately the final result is good, but for a coach like me, it was not perfect. But since this is the beginning, it was a good win."
“We wanted it badly, but unfortunately for us, it was just the fourth quarter we played as we were supposed to play. This should be our spirit, like a team, in order to be able to win games, never give up. Today we played bad, in the three first quarters we played without courage offensively, and defensively there were moments in which we couldn’t stop them. We tried to fight to come back, and we had our chances. We got free throws to tie the game, but this is it. We have to move forward, learn from these mistakes and take it step by step.”
“It was a hard-fought game, we made some mistakes at the end. They made an 8-0 run, but we came out with the win and that’s all that matters. We stayed together as a team, we just made sure to finish the game strong.”
"We fought hard, but we allowed some easy points in the second half. It was our first 7DAYS EuroCup game and it is a lot to build on. We wanted to win and it is a tough loss.
"It was a really hard game. We played away and it is very complicated to play here. They have a good team too, but we've got to improve. We need to keep our heads up and continue to improve."
