Márton Petra: – Our approach was that what will be, will be. The girls did their best. They did everything they could, but unfortunately with a lot of mistakes. Our opponent was not brilliant either, so we managed to hold on, but then unfortunately everything went wrong. Congratulations to my team and of course to our opponent. Next week we will try to improve.
Kata Németh: – After a really long trip, it was difficult to finding ourselves. Maybe we came close to our own game in the last quarter. We didn’t shoot with a very good percentage, our defense didn’t really work. Despite this I think it was a tough game and I’m happy with the win. Congratulations to both teams!

Márton Petra: – In the first quarter, our opponent played and shot very well, and we couldn’t do much about it. We played the kind of basketball we should in a playoff game in the middle two periods, but in the fourth quarter, as in the first game of the matchup, we turned the ball over a lot. I congratulate the Közgáz team and wish them good luck in the final.
Progressed: Közgáz with a double win

Zsolt Kristóf Kátai: – We have ourselves to thank for this result, conceding 60 points to Közgáz in the first half was a great luxury. We hardened up our defense for the second half, and to overcome a 20-point deficit took our strength for the last quarter. The energy to turn the game in our favour was gone, but we still ended up with four points, and I think it is not an impossible mission to leave the court victorious on Monday. I did think it was a bit exaggerated that we were able to take seven penalties at home and our opponents twenty-five. I don’t think there was such a big difference in fouls taken between the two teams.
Csaba Vladár: – I’m very happy that we could win here in Eger, we were watching because not many teams in the Eastern group managed to do it. We started very well in the first half, then Eger’s zone defence made us unsure, we missed chances and Eger punished us and came back into the game. We used our last reserves of strength to build a very slim lead here at the end, but we still have a game to play.
Match 2:

Csaba Vladár: – It’s always a great experience and success to reach the final of the university championship, the final four. It is always a great success and a great feeling to win the final. It is always a great feeling to win the final. I am very happy, I don’t want to go into technical details. We are trying to prepare as well as possible for the final four and to achieve the best possible result there.
Roland Klepej: – We started the game in a very good rhythm, concentrated, we had the balance in our game, we were successful from the inside and from the outside. Közgáz’s first timeout broke our momentum, we made several bad decisions, especially defensively, and we simply couldn’t deal with our opponent’s shooting form in the first half, we scored 60 points at home and almost as many at the break. In the second half we tried to renew ourselves, we had some good periods, but overall it was not enough at home to Közgáz, whom I congratulate on the victory and wish good luck in the final four.
Progressed: Közgáz with a double win
