[quote name='"Vilius":3mn3tfet']First results from the first qualifying round leg 1.



Siauliai 73-73 Galatasaray

Triumph Lyubertsy 78-78 Oostende[/quote]good result from Oostend but poor sportsmenship from Lyubertsy coach:



[quote name='"Stanislav Eremin":3mn3tfet']Oostende played better us may be because they got more information about us than we had about them. Oostende lost two Belgian League games at home by one or two points, but we didn't know the real power of this team. Our starting five wasn't defending as they had to do. Three players of my team - Askrabic, Vyaltsev and Sergeev - got injures and maybe it influenced the team because Askrabic, for example, is one of the key big players. I think they will play in Belgium and will help our team to win[/quote]

If you have X times the budget of your opponent. You don't have to come with lame excuses like they had more info about us then we had about them and we had an injured player. (Oostende also had an injured player).

They just didn't bring their A-game.
