Universitet Surgut - CSKA: 68-89

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:

- We played our best game during the tour in Surgut. We missed Van Den Spiegel and Papaloukas, Vanterpool spent only 14 minutes on the court because of the back spasm. But we got some good play from Anton Ponkrashov, who showed solid confident play. All of the team played good offence against Universitet zone defense and we managed to defend their pick and roll. I am happy with the performance. Tomorrow we will start preparations for the game on Saturday against Dynamo from Moscow region.
