Coach Scariolo’s words on the eve of the game: “We tried to learn quickly from the defeat in the first day, especially the 7 players who had never debuted in this competition. The Euroleague is demanding from the point of view of ‘energy, concentration and physical impact, we clearly have to grow in this respect. We know that it will not be an immediate process but at the same time we want to see steps forward and we want to compete tomorrow against a team that is always well coached, well built and has almost always made the playoffs in recent years and, especially this season, with a very high potential in three-point shooting. A tough obstacle to which we will have to respond by showing on the court that we have taken a step forward, hoping that it will be enough to be able to beat an opponent who is more or less in the same group of teams as us, who want to fight until the end to succeed in the playoffs.”

Iffe Lundberg on the eve of the match: “We face Bayern Munich, a very good team, a very physical team that prepares matches well and fights. Even though they lost their last match at home against Fenerbahce they still struggled by conceding only 74 points to them, and so from our perspective we expect a very tough battle tomorrow and we have to be prepared; we will have to execute Coach’s game plan almost to perfection to ensure that we have a chance to win and….I am looking forward to tomorrow.”
