PRE-GAME QUOTES

Dusko Ivanovic, BC Khimki head coach:

"UNICS is a very good team. They played excellent against Fenerbahce but in some previous EuroLeague games when they lost they really did it very well. I think right now they have probably the best player in Europe, I mean Langford. He is ready to win the game alone. But we’ll try to play how we prepared for it. At the same time we have to think about UNICS as a team, not only Langford. Colom is one the best players in means of how does he play pick and rolls. Other guys are also with big experience. They are very strong but the main important thing is that they play with big confidence. But we want to win and will fight for it. Markel Brown joined to the team but it’s to early to speak about him. He has quality but came two days ago and had one practice. He needs some time".
