“We need to improve our gameplay. He cannot repeat what our performance looked like in the first twenty minutes against Hradec Králové. If we want to stay in the fight for fourth place, we have to manage this match, “said Cologne assistant Filip Rytina.

The university students are practically a newly formed team, when the team is no longer conducted by Dino Repeša on the bench, but the American Josh King and the central quarterback and star of the team, Ondřej Sehnal, headed for the dream foreign engagement.

Marek Vyroubal thus became the new creator of the game, together with the first new acquisition, Nathaniel West, for whom his engagement with the Prague Owls is the first professional in his career. The same goes for Kyle Mangas, an elite overseas shooter from the NCAA.

The management of USK Praha also did a great deal just before the start of the new season, when Tomáš Kyzlink, a member of the Czech national team, who was a successful point producer in the past two matches of the national team and has so far performed admirably in the NBL Cooperative, was added to the roster.

“If we manage to eliminate the point supply of West, Mangas and Kyzlink, we can think of winning,” said Filip Rytina.
