After it journalists asked some questions to McCarty:

Kelly, congratulations! The coaches of Superleague named you best player of month!

— Thank you. It is flattering for me, but now it so not so important. This season is the most difficult in my career. We have a good team, with the players of high level, the friendly atmosphere, the brilliant coach. But we can’t find our basketball philosophy. A team is in fever. We can crash “Maroussi”, to offer resistance against CSKA during 3 quarters, but the defeat in matches against “Lokomotiv” and “Ural-Great” are misunderstandings. Of course, we have injured players. We will summon our strength and will try to win “Final Eight”.

BC Khimki will face in ¼ of finals the Spanish “Pamesa” – the very strong team.

— We are preparing for this match. We hunger for big victories. All players with injuries will get rehabilitated till Turin. We have faith in our team, our coach.
