The Italian team has won nine in a row at home, and also prevailed in a Round 5 thriller at ASVEL, 84-87, thanks to 20 points with just one miss from Isaia Cordinier. He and veteran Daniel Hackett will look to give more control to an offense that committed 18 turnovers in Friday's 24-point loss at Efes, while ASVEL hopes for a big improvement in long-range shooting after only making 2 triples in last week's blowout home loss to ALBA.
Luca Banchi, Virtus head coach
"ASVEL is a team with great physicality and athleticism, combined with the talent of experienced players whose dangerousness and exhuberance we will try to contain with a proud and courageous performance. We will give our best to make the most of our potential, trusting that the support of our fans can give us all the resources we need to go beyond the emergency of the moment."
Achille Polonara, Virtus player
"Tomorrow we have a tough game ahead of us against a physical and athletic team like ASVEL, a team that likes to run. We will have to be good in defensive transition to limit their strengths. On offense we have to play our basketball."
