Stevan Karadzic, head coach Red Star:"We will play a team with a big and famous name in European basketball. Benetton was a group winner, and played very good in the ULEB Cup. It is going to be great chance and a great experience for our young team. We will try to copy the good games we played this season in the ULEB Cup, make a good effort, give our best, and represent the club in the best possible way."

Red Star general manager, Andrija Kleut::"I think that Benetton Tamoil Treviso is a very attractive opponent and I hope it will be a nice elimination round. We played our first game in Belgrade and I know it won't be an easy round for any of the teams. I hope it will be a great show, too, because every game is important in the ULEB Cup elimination rounds. It is easier for us to play outside of Belgrade, as we won four ULEB Cup games on the road already. I hope we can continue that tradition and break the other end, since we lost three consecutive home games in the competition. More fans will come to the arena and I hope this will help us. If we are backed by a full Pionir Arena, that will be a great support."
