CSKA made it. Without 4 important players the team managed to outscore TAU and to become the leader of the group.
TAU Ceramica vs. CSKA: 76-85
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
- Of course we did not believe in our win from the very start. In the locker I told my players that we should not believe no matter what happens during the game. The only hope was that TAU would come up relaxed, knowing about our problems. Our goal was not to be hurry. And we did it. All our shots were prepared. I want to thank Marcus Goree for his performance in the low post. That gave Andersen an opportunity to go outside. And also created the opportunities for Langdon and Holden. Also we received a lot of help from our young players.
