He spoke to germanhoops.com after the big 100-72 win against BG Goettingen.

Congrats on the massive 100-72 win on the road in Goettingen. When you put offense and defense together, how perfect was this game?

I mean this was as good as a win that you could imagine. We won by 28 points. It wasn´t what we expected, but it was fun. We were clicking at both ends of the court. They had a little run in the third quarter, but that didn´t affect us much. It was a fun first game and a good test.

In Germany the guy who makes the 100th point has to buy donuts for the team. Why don´t they have something like that in the States?

I´m not sure. I guess it´s a German thing.

Jacob Knauf made the 100th point. Did he get donuts?

Not yet. I´ll let him know. I´ll take some donuts.

How vital was the extra self confidence that the team had coming off the big cup win in Trier?

That was huge. We were very confident coming into the game. Trier is a very good team and that was a very tough place to play. That win definitely gave us a boost.

The team had a huge first quarter scoring 29 points. Do you believe like maybe BG Goetingen underestimated you a bit? A team that just moved up?

No I don´t think they did. They had played us in pre-season and knew what to expect. We have many weapons and know how to use them and play well together. We shared the ball really well and played our game.

Frankfurt presented a lethal offense of pretty inside out basketball. Is it a bit scary to see just how well the offense was working so early in the season?

It is great to see how well we can play so early in the season. We have many new guys and to see how well we know each other and our tendencies at this point of the season is special.

You got really vital play from Einaras Tubutis. How vital is it just having a guy like that on the floor within your offense?

It´s really fun playing with him. He knows when to cut and he is always in the right spot at the right time. His play opens up our offense. We really appreciate his play.

Ed Croswell dished out 2 assists in a row. Just how talented is this big man with his passing skills?

He sees the floor really well. He is never in a hurry and is really unselfish. That is what our team needs having unselfish players. He makes the right plays.

In the second quarter Frankfurt continued to execute very well on offense and got everyone involved. BG Goettingen looked totally overwhelmed. How much credit did the second unit get?

The most credit goes to Malik Parsons. He scored 27 points. He and the second unit came in and helped extend the lead. They gave us a boost and they carried off our energy. They came out and played with a lot of energy.

BG Goettingen came out in the third quarter and slapped Frankfurt back in the face. They returned with a 12-2 run. What adjustments did they make and what break downs did you have as a team on the defensive end?

It was more our offense. We became a little complacent and were just out of whack which led to turnovers and easy baskets for them. We calmed down a bit then and didn´t look at the score anymore. We then found our groove again of the first half.

Wiggins and Godfrey were a tough duo to control. What player gave the team the bigger problems?

I think Wiggins was the most difficult to control. He was very athletic and just played very hard. He was always in the right spots and really showed he could pass the ball well. I thought we still did a pretty good job on him.

You were up only by 12 points. What did coach Wucherer tell the team to do going into the fourth quarter? You must of listed as the team belted a 18-1 run in the faces of the opponent.

The focus was to get stops and take care of the ball. He also wanted us to be aggressive and not become passive.

The team just got everyone involved. David Muenkat began the fourth quarter with 5 points. He has been in the shadow of Parsons and Calvin, but seriously how important is he for the team?

He is our vocal leader. He does all the small things and is a really good rebounder for his size. He never complains about getting less shots. He is a great teammate

Timo Lanmueller said after the game that the Body language of Malik Parsons is contagious. He really seems to be so driven. He has that locked in feeling from him been there since day 1?

You can tell he loves the game and has fun with it so it´s definitely contagious. His attitude and body language lights a spark for our team.

You had a solid 9/3/4 game. Your big weapon the three wasn´t present there. How confident you will present it from your best side at the home opener?

I´m always confident with my shot. In Goettíngen we were up 30 and I was too complacent and not aggressive. That caused me to miss shots. I will play with a lot of adrenaline and hope for a good shooting day against Bamberg

This team played so well together. Are you a bit surprised how well the team is already gelling so early in the season?

I´m not surprised. I saw the talent that we had in pre-season. We are a young team so it´s kind of rare to be playing so well so early, but it´s still early and we haven´t faced top teams. We will take on those challenges when they come and then see where we stand as a team.

After a big blow out win like this how does one prepare for the next game against Bamberg?

I think that preparation won´t be that difficult. We already saw them twice in pre-season. They beat us last game so we owe them one. We will have a long week and be focused in practice and get better each day

Thanks Trey for the chat.
