Head coach Dimitris Itoudis said after the game: \u201cCongratulations on the win \u2013 that\u2019s a good thing, but we had quite a few problems, especially on the defensive end, but offensively as well. We won the game thanks to an excellent start and a 21\u201310 first quarter, but we lost each of the next three quarters \u2013 and that\u2019s something that should concern us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won the rebounding battle by 10, which shows a lot of commitment. Every team, and especially a EuroCup team like Roma, has extra motivation when playing against us and wants to prove that it belongs at the EuroLeague level, and we didn\u2019t match their physicality. Overall, it was good for us to face a team like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe used the rotation we had planned, even though Vasilije Micic was out due to illness. Tomorrow, the rotation will be different. Overall, this was a game that helped us understand where we are, what our weaknesses are and what we do well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tomas Satoransky added: \u201cI think we did a lot of good things, especially in the first half. Obviously, there were moments when they outmatched us in terms of motivation, but I think that\u2019s a good lesson for us ahead of the season. When you\u2019re not playing well, you have to understand how to stay in the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, I\u2019m happy with the win. We\u2019ll try to improve the things we need to improve ahead of the final, but so far we\u2019re happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked about settling into the team and finishing the game with eight assists, Satoransky said: \u201cI think I\u2019m still learning the team. I started for the first time because Vasilije Micic isn\u2019t here, so for me it\u2019s still a process of getting to know everyone and understanding how I can help the team be at its best. That\u2019s exactly what preseason games are for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
