“Super proud of our guys and our club for making a great debut in the EuroCup competition,” Reds coach Danny Franco said. “Finishing up on a high note today in front of our fans, who are following us everywhere, home and away was key and I just appreciate their effort. We’re going to keep on dreaming, try to go as far as we can. And big respect to everybody for the effort and the way we played today.”

Jaylen Hoard also reflected on the game, ”I think we can go far. We have a deep team, a lot of guys who can contribute from different places, so I think we are a balanced team, and I think we can go far. We are just focusing on the main things, being unselfish. Our best games are when we have a lot of assists, so we have to continue to share the ball and trust each other, I think that is going to help us a lot.”
