Boniciolli Matteo, Virtus Head Coach: 

"Samara was ready physically very well today. The absence of Boykins and Arnold in our team influenced the strategy of the game today. I feel sad and happy at the same time.  Sad because I don't like to loose, and happy because my team fought till the end. Also the lack of concentration in the end influenced the team a lot."

Chiacig Robero, Virtus Player:

"That was a tough game and six minutes until the end we lost our concentration and that became a reason of the defeat."

Tikhonenko Valery, Samara Head Coach: 

"We tried to prepare ourselves as best as we could to face Virtus. We played very well with them away in Italy. We knew that Virtus would be ready for the game today and they came here with one aim-to win. My team didn't loose the rebound today. During the time out I tried to wake up the team and fortunately I succeed in this. I count this victory deserved and my team did everything possible in order to participate in the next round."

Perry Marque, Samara Player:

"I don't count myself as the hero because this victory belongs to the team. Everyone did their job very well. In the end I felt the boost of adrenaline and it brought me additional strength."
