“Bahçeşehir College is one of the most dangerous teams of our league. Their foreigner players are very experienced, they began the match well. We found it difficult to play offensively at the beginning of the match, but we’ve grabbed the control of the match when Micic entered the game. We played well in the second quarter and raised the score difference to 14-15 points. Even though we made some simple turnovers, we managed to win in an important away game in the end. There is the effect of the Real Madrid match that we’ve lost at the last seconds on us as well, but my players reacted with a very good character today. Our target is the match we will play on Thursday against Olympiacos…”

Our captain Doğuş Balbay also shared his thoughts at the press conference: “It was a good game. Bahçeşehir College hosted us very nicely in their home, they created a very beautiful atmosphere with their supporters. We felt the happiness to play against them in this environment. It was a contentious match; the score went on head-to-head but we made very little mistakes in the end. We allowed them to catch up on us but got over here with very few mistakes. We have to concentrate on the Olympiacos match now, we have a very important match. We continue our way.”
