Nikola Lepojević (captain of BC University Ugra): "We were very well prepared for the games with Irkut and we really wanted to win, we knew that we are better. We played well in Surgut and we came here only for victory. As agreed in the locker room, already in the course of the match, we realized that we will not lose this game. We had a lot of fans not only in Surgut, but also in Serbia. We are the best team in this league!!"
