Game 7: Misr 102 vs. South Africa 114
(60812)Record: 7-0
Standing: 1st place heading into the 2nd round
(Note: In this initial round robin of games, the top 6 of the 8 teams will advance after each team has played each other.)The Baby Boks stay undefeated through the first round! Step one accomplished.
- This game makes 3 straight double-double performances for
Thikhathali Zibi as he notched 25 points and snagged 16 rebounds in this one for another dominant showing. He also brought it defensively, chipping in 3 blocks and 3 steals.
- One rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double for
Tau Ncube! And don't let his 1-4 from the field fool you as he was perfect from the line in this one, going 14-14.
-
Shafilshuna Machemko is back! After a couple of off scoring nights in his last games, he showed up to this one and dropped 25 points.
- Starting shooting guard
Makhaya Mukumana shot lights out in this one as he was 8-11 from the field for 17 points as the entire starting line-up put up double-digit scoring efforts in this one.
- The defense needs to look tighter moving forward. Giving up 47% shooting to our opponents is not going to get us another championship.
