Coach Pierre Vincent (Bourges Basket):

“Before the game I was afraid about the 8 (DORON) and the 15 (HARPER), because I knew they are good players, but we didn’t know a lot of things about this new team in the Euroleague Women."

"We adapted our game very fast and I think it’s one of the keys of the game. In the first quarter we had a lot of open shoots but we didn’t score. Afterwards we began to score outside and inside, and with our good defense, it was easier."

Coach Aziz Akkaya (Besiktas):

“It was our first game of the season so it was really difficult. We have tried to fight against this strong team, but after the first quarter some players began to think we can win the game. So they shot too quickly and against a team like Bourges, if you shoot, you don’t have to miss."

"Next week, we play against MiZo Pecs, but an other American player arrives. So we are going to try to win and reach the 1/8 finals."
