After losing to Yukatel Merkezefendi Municipality at home in the Basketball Super League, Pınar Karşıyaka, who was defeated by Beşiktaş Icrypex on the road yesterday, put its place in the top 4 at risk.
After being eliminated early from Europe, which he set as his biggest goal this season, Kaf-Kaf, who was trying to complete the league marathon in the first 4 places and gain an advantage in the Play-Off, was shaken by 2 critical defeats in a row. Karsiyaka, who was defeated by two opponents in their lower ranks, entered the last 8 games of the regular season with 14 wins and 8 losses. The green-red team will be the guest of HDI Sigorta Afyon Belediyespor on Sunday.
Coach Ufuk Sarıca, who made a self-criticism on behalf of his team after the Beşiktaş appointment, said, “We played bad basketball. The game on the field was not of high quality, but it was competitive. It is a fact that we have mental fragility and we play with loss of confidence. Especially the wrong choices and turnovers of our main players in critical places, when we are partners in the match. “It caused us to fall behind. With this mental resentment, we often give up on our game plan and make mistakes in the game. We know that we are not playing the basketball we want, and we want to correct our mistakes as soon as possible and get to the best position.”
