Umana Reyer Venice head coach Walter De Raffaele:
"As I told to the players, it’s important carrying on what we are doing and keep pushing on our growing, also in terms of consistency. We had a tough and long trip and I need to thank the club because it allows us to travel in the most comfortable way. Against Bursaspor it’s going to be a difficult game, we play two strong, long away games in 48 hours. We need to recover energies, we knew it. Bursaspor plays physical and tough basketball, a very athletic team with two players as Needham and Andrews, who are playing great. We have to be good in finding energy and stopping their offensive flow, empathized by their fans."
Umana Reyer Venice player Andrea De Nicolao:
"We expect a very physical and intense game, Bursa plays aggressive basketball. We need to recover energies since this is going to be a back-to-back European away game. It’s an important game for the standings and if we manage to set our tone from the tip off we will have more chances to get the win."
