FC Bayern Munich
"Players showed character tonight. It was a great game. Ulm showed why they are in top place in the German League right now. They have a great game and great offensive systems, they take advantage of their qualities and they showed that tonight. We were up by 8 points in third quarter, which was due to our good defense. But Ulm believed in their game, and played really good, tough basketball. I am positively surprised by the quality of their young players Kraemer and Pongo, and how they played against us. It is a good sign to see young players play like that. Too bad they are wearing the wrong jersey. We did not react in a good way to Ulm's switching defense, and we were too anxious and did not find the right way to punish mismatches. We have to be smart and find easier ways to get to the basket. In the end, Pape making a free throw gave us a chance to call a timeout. We designed something and thankfully it went in. It was a good win at the end, in front of our fans, and it is even good to win games like this, in overtime. We have to learn, we have to have the hunger, humility to come back and pound the ball, practice hard and go for something that is ahead of us. Who knows if we are going to get it, but we have to give 100 percent on the effort. This was just one episode."
