Csaba Vladár: “We tried to score easy baskets with fast starts from a tough defence, and we managed to do it most of the game, and when we played in a good rhythm, the triples fell. Still, we couldn’t sit back for a moment in the game, as we were up against a very tough ELTE team that played exceptionally well in spots in a good game, and I congratulate both teams for that.” 

Zoltán Csányi, coach of ELTE-BEAC: “Basketball is a team game and as a team the opponent was better, congratulations to them for the win. We have good players, but as a team the game is just starting to come together. We are working on gradually improving and progressing in terms of team play.”
