Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Srsni Pisek as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Srsni Pisek defeated 5th ranked Decin at home 91-76. Srsni Pisek outrebounded Decin 40-26 including a 29-16 advantage in defensive rebounds. Srsni Pisek looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. 25 personal fouls committed by Decin helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a great evening for the former international Vojtech Sykora (190-2001) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 11 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. The former international center Martin Svoboda (201-2001) helped adding 18 points and 7 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field). Srsni Pisek’s coach Jan Cech used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The best for the losing side was American-Nigerian point guard Omotayo Ogundiran (180-1996, college: CPP) with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. Srsni Pisek have a solid series of four victories in a row. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Decin at the other side dropped to the sixth place with seven games lost. Decin will play next round against Slavia trying to get back on the winning streak. Srsni Pisek will try to continue on its current victory against twelfth ranked J.Hradec in Jindrichuv Hradec.
Very significant was Brno’s (#4) 16-point road victory against 5th ranked Opava 85-69. It was an exceptional evening for American forward Jordan Brown (211-1999, college: Memphis) who led the winners with a double-double by scoring 19 points and 10 rebounds. Ethan Chargois accounted for 13 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. American forward Rob Howard (203-1997, college: UIC, agency: One Motive Sports) came up with 14 points and 8 rebounds for Opava in the defeat. Both coaches used bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Brno have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain fourth place with 9-5 record. Opava at the other side keeps the fifth position with six games lost. Brno will play against higher ranked Usti n/Labem (#3) in Usti nad Labem in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Opava will play again on the road against Brno and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Another exciting game was a derby match between two local teams from Praha: USK Praha (#7) and Slavia (#8). Slavia was defeated at home 81-88 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. The best player for the winners was Blake Schilb who scored 21 points and 6 rebounds. At the other side the best for losing team was Jordan Dallas who recorded a double-double by scoring 14 points and 15 rebounds. Slavia’s coach Lubomir Ruzicka rotated ten players in this game, but that didn’t help. USK Praha maintains seventh place with 7-8 record. Loser Slavia keeps the eighth position with nine games lost. USK Praha will meet at home Olomoucko (#9) in the next round. Slavia will play against the league’s second-placed Nymburk where they are definitely not considered as a favorite in this game either.
There were no shocking results in the rest of the games of round 15: J.Hradec lost to Pardubice on the opponent’s court 88-100. Usti n/Labem managed to outperform Nymburk in a home game 87-83. NH Ostrava recorded a loss to Olomoucko on the road 95-80. Opava crushed Usti n/Labem on its own court 100-77.
The most impressive stats of the last round was 12 points and 10 assists by Tomas Vyoral of Usti n/Labem.
Pardubice – J.Hradec 100-88
Everything could happen at the game between two tied teams. Both twelfth ranked Pardubice and 11th ranked J.Hradec had identical 2-12 record. This time Pardubice used a home court advantage and beat the opponent from Jindrichuv Hradec 100-88 on Saturday night.

J.Hradec’s coach Andrej Cervenka rotated ten players in this game, but that didn’t help. Pardubice (3-12) moved-up to eleventh place. Newly promoted J.Hradec dropped to the bottom position with 13 games lost. Pardubice will meet league’s second-placed Nymburk on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory.
