The head coach of “Prometey” (High league of the Ukrainian championship) Oleksandr Pashchenko commented on the victory over “Politechnica-Halychyna” in the quarterfinal of the Cup of Ukraine.

- I would like to thank everyone who are related to the club. My congratulations. I would like to thank the entire organisation that we have here. For this victory, we had everything needed.

If yesterday we were a little amorphous, lethargic, maybe a little relaxed after the victory the day before. But I would like to thank "Niko-Basket" for giving us a little “bump”, today we were ready to fight and face any troubles.

And we really had many troubles. Yesterday, we had 8 turnovers, today, there were 15 of them. Even considering the fact that we won a lot. So, it is an indicator that somewhere at some moments we were not completely focused. But in general, we are happy with the result, we move on, from game to game.

I would like to thank our warriors for defending Ukraine. They give us the opportunity to do what we love. We respect you, thank you.

– Players often did not hit free throws, why is it so?

- Firstly, psychology. Secondly, there is another point: we play fast basketball. And there are moments when players are physically stressed, and make mistakes under stress.
