CAI Zaragoza

"We had a strong start on offense and especially on defense. They went out with less intensity on defense, because they picked up their fourth team foul with a minute left in the first quarter and I think they committed 4 fouls in the first half. They improved their defensive level in the second quarter and surprised us, but in the end we managed to match their intensity and recovered. I am satisfied because this game helped us to keep our rhythm and we did different things in practice which paid off. You never know what is best. We said we didn't have a strong preference in finishing second or third, as we would be in similar groups. The game would have been different if we were second. We planned this game to give a chance to our younger players, get Urtasun involved and test some things. We didn't win by 18, but it was not one of our mail goals."

MONSCHAU, CHRISTIAN

BCM Gravelines Dunkerque

" It was a good game even where both teams were qualified. We didn't have a good start because we had some injured players, even though some others returned to the team. We are still building the team that we want to become. We needed more time for this, but above all it was a good game in which both teams wanted to win. We made mistakes at the end of the third quarter and in the fourth quarter, but the most important thing is that we managed to keep the lead we had from our home game. I want to congratulate CAI because it had a good regular season. Even though we are not as well as we would like to be physically speaking, I believe we had good second and third quarters."

"It was a good situation for me because there was less intensity than usual; if we had to win to qualify to the next round, I guess it would have been different. It was a good game for me and for some of our younger players. It is a great situation for me to start adapting to the team. For a shooter or just any other, hitting the first shot always gives you positive vibrations. I am a bit disconnected from rosters, teams - I just landed, but I know that our next opponents are great clubs with tradition. The next stage will be more complicated, I am sure."

JOHNSON, JUBY

BCM Gravelines Dunkerque

"We know that it was going to be a tough game against a very good team, especially playing at home. We went out to play tough. It was a difficult road game for us and we needed to play together. We had a slow start, but improved after that. CAI managed to win the game and I wish them all the best, as both teams made it to the next round. I hope both teams can keep fighting in the competition."
