Our team recovered after the loss yesterday easily defeating Biella in the third place game in Desio.

Biella vs. CSKA: 66-77 (+11)

CSKA: Micov (5), Jackson (9), Korshakov (-), Sokolov (8), Zozulin (-), Voronov (8), Strebkov (-), Vorontsevich (14), Nicholas (0), Kaun (13), Khraypa (9), Ponkrashov (11), Gudumak (-).

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
This tournament let us learn a lot. We saw our weak sides, showed the thigs we have to work on, and that is much more important than enjoying our strenghts now. Surely, the place in the preseason tournament is not so important on this stage but we want to win in every game so the loss affected us. But we should not be afraid, we have time to improve until the season starts.
