Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
Bottom-ranked Norwegian Fyllingen (0-5) is still winless. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their fifth consecutive match to sixteenth ranked British Flyers (2-4) 86-76 on Thursday evening. Bristol Flyers looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Jared Sherfield (198-2000, college: Lander) who helped to win the game recording 16 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists and the other American import forward Kendall Lewis (203, college: Illinois St.) who added 19 points and 5 rebounds during the contest. The best for the losing side was American guard Dashawn Davis (188, college: MSU) with 24 points. Bristol Flyers moved-up to sixth place, which they share with Groningen. Defending Norwegian champion Fyllingen still closes the standings with five games lost. They share the position with Spartak Pleven. Bristol Flyers will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Fyllingen will play at home against Bakken (#13) and hopes to get finally their first victory.
16th ranked Romanian Dinamo (1-4) was defeated at home by fourteenth ranked Czech Brno (2-2) with the biggest margin this round 79-68. The winners were led by American forward Jordan Brown (211-1999, college: Memphis) who scored that evening 19 points and 9 rebounds and Richard Balint supported him with 18 points and 5 assists. Even 22 points and 6 rebounds by Croatian guard Jakov Mustapic (192-1994, agency: Octagon Europe) did not help to save the game for Dinamo. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Brno maintains fourteenth position with 2-2 record. Dinamo at the other side dropped to the seventh place with four games lost. They share the position with Tartu. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
In the last game of round 12 Bakken lost to Bamberg on the opponent’s court 81-87.
The most impressive stats of the last round was 15 points and 7 rebounds by Owen McCormack of Bristol Flyers.
