Head Coaches

ARNAUTOVIC, VLADIMIR

CSU Asesoft Ploiesti

"It's not only about the defeat, but also the attitude of my players. We had an awful evening, even though we knew that we will play against a Euroleague team. Lokomotiv and Valencia probably will try to win the Euroup again, but this is not an excuse for our lack of attitude. We will try to make a good impression in Nancy, next week."

BAZAREVICH, SERGEY

Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar

"We started this phase of competition well, with an away victory, in front of a good team, who played strong for 30 minutes. We have some experienced players who made the difference in the fourth quarter, but I think our defense was the key of this game. We put pressure on the ball, we recovered many balls under the basket and we scored easy points on fastbreaks. I have worked with Dragan Labovic and Jarvis Hayes in Samara, they are very good players and I would like to congratulate them for their effort tonight. It's only the beginning, we have 1-0 record and we look forward to the next games."

Players

HAYES, JARVIS

CSU Asesoft Ploiesti

"We must forget this match as quickly as possible. I think those 26 points on the scoreboard it is not the real difference, but we made too many mistakes in front of such a powerful opponent. The last quarter was like a nightmare for us, but we must keep focused on the next game."

HENDRIX, RICHARD

Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar

"It's a well-deserved away win for us, which keeps me and my teammates with a strong moral before Minsk and Valencia, our two next opponents. We had a good game, especially in defense. We got many rebounds, which helped us take control and score easy baskets. We have one victory, Valencia has one also, but I think it's too early to make comparisons between the teams and to analyze our qualification chances. We take every game at a time and try to win."
