Besiktas Integral Forex Istanbul

"Our goal was finishing our group at the top. In fact, winning 4 games out of 5 on the road was a big step. We started the game very well, but then lost our rhythm. We had hard times in the third quarter, but with tougher defense, we played relaxed last minutes and got the win. I congratulate all my players."

NIKOLIC, MIROSLAV

Radnicki Kragujevac

"Our goal was to qualify and we got it. The seeding was not primarily important for us. Besiktas was the strongest team in our group and they got a deserved first place. Despite some economic problems, my players gave their best throughout the group games. I believe that we can go even further in Eurocup after the Last 32."

"After a good start for us, Radnicki managed to come back in the third quarter and take the lead. With better defensive stops we finished out strong. We're excited to finish the group in the first place. Now we're looking forward to the Last 32."
