While the excitement continued in the Basketball Champions League, Pınar Karşıyaka managed to defeat EWE Baskets Oldenburg 85-83 after a tough match. Ufuk Sarıca, the experienced head coach of the Izmir representative, who won the critical match, evaluated the team’s performance and shared his thoughts for the upcoming matches.
Sarıca said, “We were well prepared, especially for their defense and for the three-pointers from the corner. We did this, but we also made our opponent a partner in the game with the ball losses we made. Still, the whole team fought for the victory. After all, we had to win our home games. We got our second win at home in our group in the Basketball Champions League. We need to continue on the same path, talk about what we cannot do and work on it. “I congratulate my whole team.” he said.
