Greece

Coach Panagiotis Giannakis: "The fans saw another good game. My team tried with heart and soul but we didn't have a fresh mind. Lithuania played better.

We didn't play as well as we could in our last game but at least we tried and that is important."

"We have an opportunity to get to the Olympics and each tournament will help us improve."

"Congratulations to Lithuania, we will keep working and we will continue to work."

Forward Panagiotis Vasilapoulos: "We tried to play as good as we know. Lithuania made a lot of three point shots. We tried to press them. We lost the opportunity to qualify for the Olympics, now we have to try next summer."

"I would like to say a big thank you to our fans, who have helped us in all these games."
