RECALCATI, CARLO

Umana Reyer Venice

"We played a high level game in both sides of the court with great defensive attitude and great energy. Ludwigsburg has a quality and physical team; for long times we dominated the game without allowing them anything. They survived thanks to offensive rebounds. That was a high value game, an important win for us and a great bounce back after the bad game in Capo d'Orlando. We expected that."

PATRICK, JOHN

MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg

"First of all I'd like to congratulate Venice, both its coach and players, on a deserved win for them. I also want to congratulate my players, because after a very poor 30 minutes, we did not lose our character, we kept fighting against a direct competitor. That was very important for us. We had a bad shooting day against Venice’s zone and they hit some big shots with Goss and Jackson."

Players

JACKSON, JARRIUS

"We needed this win especially for our mood. It's a huge victory tonight, it gives us additional motivation and confidence for the future. We are happy about the win, even if we did not take the tie difference, we are competing to move forward to the next round. We have to transfer the good things we are doing in the Eurocup into the Italian Championship."

COTTON, TEKELE

MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg

"It was a great game, both teams came out to win it, we won at home, they beat us here. We just wanted to win. We put everything on the court today, we tried our best. We have to keep fighting, starting from the next game."
