"They count on a complete roster."
"They want to reach the best results in this year's Euroleague."
"For me, facing Lietuvos Rytas in the Top 16 is not a surprise because when you win such a tough tournament like the ULEB Cup, nobody can deny that you are a big team. They count on a complete roster, with very good players in each position. They have two important Lithuanian players, maybe the best two from Lithuania right now, Javtokas and Jasaitis. They count on a experienced player, Stelmahers. They also have found many players who can score, like Nielsen, House... They are a very balanced team. It's always important to dominate the boards. We have to take care of their big men, especially Javtokas, who is big, athletic and quick."

"They want to reach the best results in this year's Euroleague."
"Tau Ceramica's roster is really deep. They have twelve players, both the starters and the bench, who are fully prepared to play at the highest level. Recently they added Lionel Chalmers to their roster, what means they want to reach the best results in this year's Euroleague. They have been showing really good basketball. Besides, they haven't lost a single home game yet. Pablo Prigioni, Luis Scola and Casey Jacobsen are the key players on their team. They form a very effective triangle, which is truly difficult to stop. They play tough defensively and often use zone defense. This game is of great importance, but even if we lose, it will not be over. Nothing is done yet. I think the teams which will qualify for the playoffs will not be decided until the last minutes of the last games."
