Speaking about the win, Banchero said: “I think the defeat against Lithuania woke us up. I’m not saying we’re going to beat anybody in the semifinals, but when we bring that kind of energy defensively, you know, we’re hard to beat. But when we slack off and let the other team play freely, there is a situation like Lithuania where the opponent becomes confident and finds a rhythm. So if we can disrupt their rhythm, our offense is always going to be there.”
