BARAĆ: “CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PLAYERS ON THE WAY THEY’VE WORKED SO FAR TODAY, IT FINALLY PAID OFF”

Mega MIS registered their first victory of the season (1-5), as they defeated SC Derby convincingly 101:74 (20:15, 18:17, 32:16, 31:26) in the Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall. Marko Barać’s team started the game of the sixth round of the ABA League slower, but in the middle of the first quarter, they caught the momentum. They made a key 13:0 run at the beginning of the third period thanks to their great defense, and there was no way back for the guests.

The head coach of Mega Barać gave his impressions after the victory:

– I congratulate my players for the work they’ve put in so far. It resulted in this victory. What we could have assumed was that it would not be enough against Partizan, given their exceptional quality, but today it all paid off. From the beginning of the match, you could feel the pressure, but we stopped their tandem of American guards and maintained the advantage even in moments when we did not shine offensively. In the second half, we relaxed and ran; we found suitable solutions for the counterattack, and then it was much easier. Once again, congratulations to my players, and I wish the guests good luck for the rest of the season,

said Barac.

After the international break follows, Mega MIS will face Mornar in the Bar. The meeting in Topolica is scheduled for Sunday, November 20, from 5:00 p.m.
