Frederic Fauthoux, Bourg: 'Today was perfect'

Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse head coach Frederic Fauthoux:
"We never give up and I’m very proud of these guys because it wasn’t easy. But we played well, we controlled the tempo, we played very good defense. The guys respected the game plan. We won for the second time against Venice. It’s a very good step… Today was perfect, but the way is long. We are happy for the victory."
Umana Reyer Venice head coach Walter De Raffaele:
"I said [at halftime] that we need to compete on rebounds until we have [no] energy. Until we had [no] energy, we competed in many one-on-one situations after, honestly, we missed some easy pull-ups and then the energy was not full for everybody. Bourg deserved to win this game."
Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse guard Jordan Floyd:
"Coming into the game, we knew that Venice was a nice team. They were gonna play hard defensively and we’re at home, so we have to make big games at home. We’ve lost two games at home this year; we’ve been playing better on the road, but tonight we came out and got the job done… We work hard every day in practice. Our coach provides a great game plan for us and we just come out here and play basketball. We have fun doing it."
Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse guard Hugo Benitez:
"It’s a good win for us. We knew we have to play with a lot of energy because they have very clever and very big players. I think this is what we did and we controlled the game. Maybe we could have killed the game before, but it is good for us. It is a good win at home and we have to keep on going."
Umana Reyer Venice forward Derek Willis:
I think we were a little short on our defensive energy tonight and some shots we usually make didn’t fall in the first half. We fought back, but it wasn’t enough. JL Bourg had a good game plan, they played well, they were ready for us. We just have to get ready for the next game now.
