\nJerusalem Head Coach Oded Katash<\/strong> spoke about the contest and pointed out the threat that Anwil can pose to his squad, \u201cThey are a very dangerous team and while I won\u2019t say they are the best team in the champions league they four scorers that play at a very high level. Similar to AEK on the offensive side of the ball, perhaps not defensively but we will have to stop their running game.\u201d<\/p>\n

How will Hapoel stop an offensive minded team, \u201cWe will play team defense to stop players like Tony Wroten who is a tall guard, he has a lot of quality but it\u2019s not just him but also Ricky Ledo, Chase Simon and Chris Dowe who is a streaky scorer and is shooting at a high percentage. Usually a team has two scorers as this level, Anwil has four and they play a good possession game, perhaps not with a lot of ball movement.\u201d<\/p>\n

I also asked Katash about his feelings that Jerusalem is the #1 Champions League team in the Power Rankings, \u201cI don\u2019t know. These are things I don\u2019t look at and I focus on basketball itself and the result that comes from our work.\u201d<\/p>\n

James Feldeine<\/strong> also looked ahead to Wednesday\u2019s game in the video below as we discussed the #1 ranking, Isaiah Cousins and more:
