"We are all excited for our first game in the EuroCup and the return of Hapoel Tel Aviv to compete in the group stage in Europe. We are preparing for the high level and the challenge that the competition brings. We respect the opponent that comes here and are prepared for the challenges it poses to us. We are playing the first game at home and we would like our audience to see a quality match that will hopefully end in our home victory."
"We are very excited. We managed to calm down from the crazy atmosphere that was here in the game last Friday and we did a good preparation for London. We have many players with experience and that is very important at this point of the season, we will do everything to start on the right foot and I am sure that together with the atmosphere that will be here It is possible."
"It's a great opportunity. I think our preparation leading up to this point has been really good. Thankfully, we have had a tough start in some ways where it's kind of helped us. Domestically in the BBL, we have had four tough games against good opponents that have allowed us to dive into some things and clean up some areas that we know we're going to need to be better tomorrow night. This is history in the making for the organization, for the BBL, for UK basketball and everyone's excited about it. It's hard to just kind of focus on one guy in particular. They have got a couple of guys that really stand out on film from a scoring standpoint. Xavier Mumford, Jordan McRae is with them, he is going to play for the first time, it sounds like tomorrow, J'Cowan Brown... So their guards are very dominant from a scoring standpoint, but at the same time they've got guys on the perimeter that you leave open from a shooting standpoint, they can hurt you. Their bigs are really effective playing out of the short roll. So again, a really good well-coached team. And again, we've got to make sure we do a really good job of kind of just defending by committee. And it can't just be a single player that we're focused on."
"I am definitely excited. Hapoel is a really good team and we are still improving, gaining confidence. The EuroCup is a great league and I am fortunate to be a part of it. We have to play hard and do the simple things: rebound, play good defense and let everything happen on the court. Most importantly, try to get a win."
