Coach Scariolo’s words on the eve of the game in Belgrade: “Once again we are facing an away game in which we are few. Red Star is in a good moment of form, they have not lost yet since coach Dusko Ivanovic took over the team and I think one of the big keys was also the addition of a great player like Vildoza. We have to go to Belgrade aware that we have to control the emotionality and minimize the number of lost balls.We will play against their excellent defense, with clear ideas and good spacing, and we will have to take the right shots with patience and at the same time without giving up opportunities in transition. We will have to show the best version of our defense against a team with very good shooters and athletic and versatile longs.”

Bako’s words in the pre-match: “Tomorrow will be a very physical game, against a tough team in a hot environment, but we are ready because we already had a similar experience in the last game in Belgrade. We don’t want to repeat it for the second time so we will have to stay focused and ready.”
