Ramone Moore - Alba Fehervar - EC13 (photo Alba Fehervar)Hungarian champion Alba Fehervar recorded its first-ever Eurocup victory by downing Akyon TED Ankara Kolejliler 92-84 in Group F. The two teams now share fifth place in the group table with 1-4 records. Ramone Moore was decisive for Alba by scoring 13 of his 25 points in the last quarter, Maurice Kemp nailed 16 points with 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Gergely Somogy chipped in 14 with 7 rebounds, Braydon Hobbs scored 13 and Norbert Toth 10. Vanja Plisnic led Ankara with 23 points, Vladimir Golubovic added 18 and Aleksandar Rasic 13.

Kemp opened the scoring from downtown for the early advantage for the home team. A Vanja Plisnic three pointer gave the visitors their first double digit margin, 8-18. Ali Brent Kavaklioglou extended it to 10-28 by finishing a break before Zoltan Supola cut the difference to 16-28 after 10 minutes. Early in the second quarter Muhammed Baygul scored an easy layup to make it 19-33, then Alba went on a 14-2 run capped by a huge dunk by Moore to get within 33-35. Peter Toth put the hosts ahead 41-39 before Rasic from long distance gave Ankara a 45-46 edge at halftime. Somogy gave a 47-46 advantage to Alba at the start of the third quarter, but the guests pushed behind Plisnic, Rasic and Golubovic for a slim margin. A three from Hobbs tied the game once more, 60-60, before Kerem Ozkan from the foul line fixed the score at 64-70 for Akyon TED Ankara heading into the fourth quarter. Another Somogy layup put in front the home team on 72-70. Moore, assisted by Kemp, gave a 79-73 cushion to the hosts with four minutes left. Rasic scored from long distance, but 8 points in a row from Moore gave a double-digit margin to Alba, 86-76, with two minutes left. A Hobbs jumper sealed the first-ever win for the Hungarian champs.

"First I congratulate to my players because they made a huge effort tonight, the made a huge effort last week and since we started the league. But especially in the last week we almost have had no rest, the trips, practices every day, it was hard. They did their job; work always pays off, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. I am very happy with them, because they deserved it, they won a Eurocup match like this. They know how difficult it is, but with their efforts, they made it possible. I am happy with the reaction of the team after being a few points down, I am not happy with the beginning of the game. As a team, we have to be more solid and cannot afford those minutes like in the beginning. We have to stay focused and improve. The most important thing is that the team gets better every day and I am very happy because I saw the improvement in the team and we are going up. I am very delighted with the steals, because there is a lot of work in it. I am happy with 20 assists, and they are divided among four players, it is better for a team to have four players with 4 assist than one player with 16. Sometimes players do very good job, but it is not in the statistics. Today Matyi and Levi had a lot of good things and were very useful, despite of the fact that they combined for 4 points. They had assists, rebounds, steals, they defended very well. I also congratulate Peter beacuse he is ill, he had fever, but he played and did his best. "

"Both teams had chances to win. We lost two games at home so it was a very important game for us. The last chance to survive is to win four games in a row. We knew that Alba would need this game very much, to get their first win. They deserved it. In the beginning we played very well. Then they began to pressure us, we made too many turnovers; with 21 turnovers it is not easy to win on the road. I think the chance for both teams to go to the second round is like a miracle, I think both teams have to win five games, to do that. It is not easy, but we will try to do our best. We are doing a great job in the Turkish League. The remaining five games will be a great experience for us, it won’t be easy. We will concentrate on the Turkish League more. Congratulation to the Alba team."

"First I would like to say thank you to all of our fans, because they came out after four losses and believed in us; it was a very important thing for us. We started the match very badly, the opponent scored a lot of threes, and we made mistakes that we had discussed to avoid. After that with a very good mentality and teamwork we came back. We stole a lot of balls with pressure and broke the opponents’ rhythm. In the second half we played as a real team, and made the right decisions in key moments. We won the game that we had wanted to win for a long time. It is a hard series for us, but we worked hard and never gave up. If we play like this we have place here. I am very proud of the team; we have heart and were able to come back from this."

"We started the game really well; we were up by 18 points. After that we probably relaxed and thought that the game was over, but it wasn't. We started to turn the ball over and Alba had confidence and came back to tie it at the half. The second half was completely different, we allowed the opponent to score 92 points, they punished us on the fast breaks and we lost the game."
