The NKA Universitas Pécs men's basketball team failed to win their final game of the year, so they finished sixth in NB I, despite traveling to the capital a few days earlier. At the same time, this score is also very high for a newcomer, so that they did not even dare to dream at the beginning of the season that they would not fight for survival, but fight against the top eight.
“I don't feel like we have to worry now. We finished sixth, which is a great result,” coach Ferenc Czerky said. – I am very proud of the guys, it was one of the best decisions of my life to accept this team after a few days of thinking. I'm really very satisfied, I'm proud of them, and I'm also proud of our fans, they helped us a lot, we had an excellent stadium! The important thing about this game was that we sank deeper into the one-point defeat at Best, and our guys who had carried the team on their backs all year were probably more tired. We shot thirty-one percent, so you can't win a game at home either. But I stress: we should be happy to get sixth place, which is a great result! I am especially happy that Pete Kovacs coached me at the beginning of my coaching career and at the end of his playing career. I thank him very much for the joint work. He will miss me very much, not only as a player. A person, but also with his game.
