BARAĆ: “PROBABLY THE WORST DEFENSE THIS SEASON, KRKA DESERVEDLY WON”

Mega Superbet’s basketball team lost to Krka in the 16th round of the ABA League, played at TC Dejan Milojević, with a final score of 87:94 (16:28, 24:21, 20:26, 27:19). Marko Barać’s team found themselves trailing by double digits in the first quarter but managed to cut the deficit to a minimal margin by the middle of the second period. However, their opponent regained control, building a lead of 18 points in the third quarter. Mega fought back in every possible way, but they could not break their opponent’s resistance, who managed to maintain their advantage and win. Mega Superbet now has a record of 8-8 after 16 rounds in the regional competition, while Krka secured their fourth victory (4-12).

Mega Superbet’s coach, Marko Barać, shared his thoughts at the post-game press conference:

“Krka deservedly won. We knew they were a very good team, that they have experience, play good basketball, and that they came out of a losing streak caused by tough games and a difficult schedule, so we knew they’d be extra motivated today. Obviously, after the game against Partizan, which was good but not crowned with a win, we stayed mentally in that match. There wasn’t enough time or something else for us to properly realize the importance of this game and the quality of Krka. From the start, they controlled the match, played better, and this was probably our worst game of the season in terms of defense. It’s obvious we need to get back to quality training as soon as possible, the kind we’ve had so far, because that’s where we get our confidence, energy, and the record that has been satisfying until now. I congratulate the guests once again, my colleague Jakara, and I wish them a lot of luck in the continuation,” said Barać.

In the next, 17th round of the ABA League, Mega Superbet will visit FMP in Železnik. The match is scheduled for Sunday, January 19, at 17:00.
