Pitino: “We could have won and should have won”

The head coach of Panathinaikos OPAP, Rick Pitino, stated after the game against Real Madrid: "We could have won and should have won. But we did not. I am not happy about a lot of things, but I always believed excuses are a sign of weakness and we are not going to show any weakness. I am very disappointed with a loss. Should have won, could have won, we will give them credit and move on to the next game. I think we went to the well one too many times. I thought they had hands on Keith [Langford] every pick-and-roll, we didn't get a call, that is a part of the game. But I thought it was a brilliant comeback by a very tough, focused basketball team. I am pleased with the effort, disappointed with a lot of things that went on. But we will regroup and get ready for the next game.""
