Scariolo: “Barcelona is definitely one of the strongest teams in the competition, both in terms of its roster and style of play. They have a lot of top players and are very well organized on both ends of the court. Especially on the road, we have to improve our potential, both mentally and physically, and be ready to face difficult moments in order to compete. We hope to have something more from the players who are recovering physically and to show the best version of ourselves.”
Weems: “We are returning to the court after a bad loss in the league and we want to react well. We are playing against one of the best teams in the EuroLeague, so we have to have the right concentration and [make sure we] fight playing together to have a chance [to win].”
