Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
The most surprising game was the first loss of Vojvodina (9-1) in Zemun on Saturday night. Visitors were defeated by seventh ranked Mladost (6-4) 86-81. It ended at the same time the nine-game winning streak of Vojvodina NS. 27 personal fouls committed by Vojvodina helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Swingman Luka Gasic (195-1998) scored 18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the charge for the winners and American guard Daivien Williamson (185-2000, college: Wake Forest) chipped in 22 points and 5 assists during the contest. At the losing side forward Filip Rebraca (206-1997, college: Iowa) responded with 8 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Mladost moved-up to fifth place, which they share with 3 other teams. Vojvodina at the other side still keeps top position with one game lost. Mladost is looking forward to face OKK Beograd (#9) on the road in the next round. Vojvodina will play against the league’s second-placed Vrsac (#2) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
An interesting game took place in Smederevska Palanka where higher ranked Tamis PN (5-5) was upset on the court of thirteenth ranked Mladost (4-6) 73-67. Forward Aleksa Popovic (206-1999, college: McKendree) notched a double-double by scoring 15 points and 10 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) to lead the effort and Aleksa Matic supported him with 16 points and 4 assists. Even 19 points and 6 rebounds by American guard Khristion Courseault (188, college: UMKC) did not help to save the game for Tamis PN. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Mladost moved-up to eleventh place, which they share with BKK Radnicki. Tamis PN at the other side dropped to the ninth position with five games lost. They share it with OKK Beograd. Mladost will play against higher ranked Zlatibor (#5) in Cajetina in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Tamis PN will play at home against Dynamic VP (#3) having rather not much hope for a victory.
16th ranked Novi Pazar (1-9) was outscored at home by ninth ranked Sloboda (6-4) with the biggest margin this round 97-75 on Saturday night. Djordje Bozic fired 22 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Lazar Nekic produced a double-double by scoring 14 points and 14 rebounds for lost side. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Sloboda moved-up to fifth place, which they share with 3 other teams. Loser Novi Pazar stay at the bottom position with nine games lost. They share it with Metalac VL. Sloboda will meet at home Cacak 94 (#13) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Novi Pazar will play against Metalac VL in Valjevo and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
