Andrea Vicenzuto’s statements in detail:



“I want to thank coach Sakota first. Even when he is not here he helps me. He has been very close to me since day one. Thanks to coach Sakota and the players. It wasn’t easy at all. We came from a difficult schedule, we made some mistakes. It wasn’t easy, but the players did the job. We showed a different face and that was mainly for the players. We only let Riga score 69 points and that is important for the rest of the season.

I wish the Riga players the best. They can beat better teams. If Shannon continues like this he will mature. Good job by the staff. We told our best players to be careful. The shots he took from the three point made us change our defense. He is a very good player, talented. It was not an easy night for us. We did a good job.”
