Coach Murat Didin said that he utilized the younger players throughout the tournament due to 6 missing players in the team, and made the following assessment:
 “We lost most of our games in the last 2-3 minutes in both Italy and Germany. We played the last balls very clumsily since we did not have a point guard. We could have won all of these games. Especially our players from the USA gained condition in these games. We had the opportunity to see before the season how we can utilize the other players or if we can not utilize at all. Purpose of the preparation games is to see the mistakes which should not happen during the season, we just made that. We both played intensely here and saw what everyone is capable of. We will overcome our deficiencies as soon as possible”. 
“We a very good team and we will play basketball which will represent Beşiktaş very well. Our expectation before the Turkey Cup eliminations is that our players who have been injured can get well and return to the team as soon as possible so that we can display our real performance. The injured players may get well this week, and I believe that all of them will be able to take their position on the court, even if not with full performance.”
Beşiktaş Men’s Basketball Team will go to Şanlıurfa on Wednesday for Turkey Cup eliminations.
