Kastritis 1 "Trento deserved the victory. However, I want to be honest with my team and supporters: I am convinced that tonight we saw some progress in our team compared to the last few matches."

Chancellors 1 "We remained focused in key moments. Our players did a good job of attacking Pallacanestro Varese's defensive pressure."

Kastritis 2 "The moments in the game where we played the way we should play—the way I'd like us to play—were more frequent than in previous matches. We must continue to work to improve."

Chancellors 2 "We forced our opponents to mess up a lot of passes. The marking work done on Alviti was exceptional."

Kastritis 3 "Tonight's result is important, but our players shouldn't be frustrated. I'm confident that at the end of the season, we'll be able to achieve the goals we set ourselves."

Chancellors 3 "It was difficult to face a team like Varese. Our team is still trying to find its balance. Tonight's game was tough, but I'm very happy with the result."

Kastritis 4 We knew Trento would be looking for offensive rebounds. Their attacks, however, came from our good defense. Unfortunately, losing control made us discouraged for just a few seconds before they attacked.

Kastritis 5 «We would have liked to have Nkamhoua and Renfro play more minutes, but it will take time for them to regain their physical fitness».
