SC Derby basketball players were defeated for the 14th time this season in the ABA League, their last setback coming in a duel with Mega.

It was 90:76, ​​to the obvious displeasure of coach Petar Mijović, who is aware that his team was not in the match.

"A well-deserved victory for Mega, who controlled the game. What a team has to do against such an opponent is to respond to energy, intensity and play in transition - we failed to do that. There were a few situations when we had open shots, if we had scored we might have had an extra chance to turn things around," said Mijović.

The "Students" shot 40 and hit 10 three-pointers, but missed nine free throws (23-14).

"In general, we had a very poor shooting percentage, as well as free throw percentage, which has happened to us two or three times in the last month," Mijović pointed out.

SC Derby had to do better.

"Mega is playing very well, it showed that with the victories against Partizan and Red Star. We knew it would be difficult, but if you think you have a chance, then primarily the intensity, toughness and basic part of blocking the basket have to be at a much higher level. We entered the match in a way we shouldn't have - soft and without focus," concluded Mijović.
