Coach Jasmin Repesa talked about the upcoming EuroLeague game in Vitoria: “We face a team that right now it’s not playing like it did before in the EuroLeague but at home they are very brilliant. They know how to run, they press and are very good at finishing in transition. We need to stay focus because against this kind of basketball even the best teams have struggled. It’s important to execute well and go back against their transition offense led by Shane Larkin”.

The young forward Simone Fontecchio is one of the few guys that will have to make up for Kruno Simon and Zoki Dragic, both out with injuries. “I’m sorry for the many injuries we are experiencing especially the one that hit Dragic. So it’s important for us to be ready to contribute. We have been trying to stay ready all season long and now it’s our time to step up”.
