Kathrin Ress, Italy player:

"This group is fantastic; after our losses to Poland and Turkey we wanted to show that we are a good team. We are young and inexperienced as a team, even if we will go to the Additional Qualifying Round I still believe that our National team improved on many aspects this summer."

Giampiero Ticchi, Italy coach:

"My team is very young, playing their last game with a possibility to qualify for EuroBasket was our goal. And now we go to Turkey without any pressure...  I would like to congratulate my team. They worked a lot in the last two months, they showed how the National team is important for them. Today we won in defense."

Azra Becirovic, Bosnia and Herzegovia player:

"Congratulations to Italy. Like in Sarajevo we had a correct approach but we missed concentration in the second period and they scored many easy baskets on our turnovers. It's important for our team to get experience but we must avoid the Relegation Round. We have two important games, now."

Zoran Mikes, Bosnia and Herzegovina coach:

"We didn't respect our game plan and when you play against good teams like Italy are, you surely lose. We had a good start but in the second quarter we couldn't handle their full court pressing. We had a reaction in the third period, it is important for us to reduce the gap because we want to remain in Division A and we have the same points with Finland"
