Coach Banchi’s statements: “We will receive the visit of a highly motivated Fenerbahce coming off 3 consecutive defeats that, with the recovery of Calathes, Guduric and Sanli, will arrive in Bologna fiercely determined to break this short negative streak, which has only temporarily distanced it from the absolute top of the EuroLeague standings. We are all aware that this will be a particularly challenging match against a sure protagonist of this season, capable of fielding an incredible offensive arsenal full of talent and experience, to which we will have to replicate by playing a match full of energy, personality and courage to compete with such an important opponent. We are sure that playing in front of our fans will be decisive, because their support will allow us once again to overcome the ’emergency we are experiencing, chasing a success that would give further luster to this our beginning of the continental season.”
Daniel Hackett’s pregame: “Our next opponent is Fenerbahce, one of the candidates on paper for the Euroleague Final Four. They have a very deep roster, with many talented players especially on the outside like WIlbekin, Dorsey, Guduric, Calathes. We have to be ready for a great sports battle, both in the area and on the perimeter. We are preparing as best we can, doing our own thing and of course starting with our defense. We are also counting a lot on the support of our audience, to play a game with our heads held high and without fear.”
