“Herbalife Gran Canaria is an effective team that plays very aggressive, defends with zone-press, scores with fast-breaks and plays with high scores in the home games. They play a dangerous basketball in their homes. They have especially perimeter players such as Strawberry, Evans and Oliver and physically strong players under the hoop. 'It will be a match that we have to be careful and control. We are very pleased with the game our players played in Euroleague and Turkish League in the last weeks – no matter what the outcome of those games are. We will show that effort to receive a precious victory tomorrow night as well.”

Our team captain Doğuş Balbay also stated his thoughts: “We have had an unlucky lost in the last second in our last Euroleague game. Now we will play against one of the newest Euroleague team’s Gran Canaria in this tough away game. They forced the teams those target the top before. It will be a tough game for us but we would like to hold the fight for the entire 40 minutes and win.”
