Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:

- It was a big game. I am very happy with the win in such an atmosphere. Tonight our players played with their heart, soul and showed their personality. I do not want people to start making projects on the plays off or the Final Four because of the win. The same as last year we go game by game and now we should be ready to play in Badalona.

Tonight all the players made a step to overcome David Vanterpool ansence. We still miss his leadership and personality. But now we also have Oskar Torres who match our team as a player but also as a person.
