With regard to the Greek Basketball Cup draw and the resulting clash between Panathinaikos and Olympiacos at the quarter-finals (October 8 at OAKA Indoor Sports Arena), Loukas Mavrokefalidis made the following statement:
“Games against Olympiacos are always of special importance. The Cup quarter-finals couldn’t be different. However, we shall not think about this game right now. We are at the beginning of our preparation and we’re working hard ahead of the new season. We’re a new team and we need a lot of work to reach the desirable level. We’ll focus on this game at the right time and we’ll give everything we can to get the win.“
