“First of all, I congratulate my players. This victory and to go to the semifinals were well deserved. We have started tough today and we played well from the beginning to the end of the match. The key to the victory of today’s match was all of the offensive rebounds we have taken and also the fast offense after the defensive rebounds. Galatasaray Odeanbank is a very good team. Though to win 6 our of 7 matches we have played against them shows that we are a better team. I think that we have deserved this victory and to go the semifinals is also well deserved.”

I think that the energy we have shown the entire season was the key for us. We have watched the video of the last game and seen that we have given very easy positions to our rival. We have compensated whatever we have done badly in that match. We should improve ourselves even more…”
