“Enisey is talented and high-scoring team that plays with energy on offense and averages 83 points in first 12 games of the season,” CSKA head coach Dimitris Itoudis said. “They have very dangerous guards – Taylor, Zakharov, Kennedy, Vzdykhalkin, Sergeev, Pichkurov. James is very important for them as he can play one-on-one from position 4, creating for himself and teammates. Their frontline has size and experience provided by Yakovenko and Olbrecht. As for us, we practice normally and we prepare to play good defense because it is especially important in this game. I would like to call our fans to come and support us.”
