“This is the first time we don’t lose players like that. Albert Tadevosyan was injured and couldn’t play in the first two games in Yerevan and A.J. Hess missed the game with Bosnia because of injury. Chrabascz didn’t play the last game to his full ability for the same reason. I hope every member of the team will show his worth today,” the Armenian Basketball Federation quotes Bavcevic.

The coach noted that Sweden deserves huge respect as their opponent, qualifying them as the strongest team in Group A. However, Armenian players will try to use Swedes’ weak points.

“Winning this game will take us to the next stage. Moreover, it will give us a good chance to get the first place in our group,” Bavcevic said.

Armenia team is currently on top of Group A with 7 points. Sweden follows with 6. The game between the two teams will kick off at 9 p.m. today (Armenia standard time).
