Canal Digital League Round 11. - Dec 28, 2008 (by Thomas Soltau)
Aabyhoj VS Bakken (74-92): Bakken is back to its usual dominating self, and cross-town rivals Aabyhoj had little to say about it in this game.
A commanding 54-33 half-time lead evidently showed the strength level between the two teams on this night.
Aabyhoj fought for their chance, with four players scoring in double figures, but the 20 points of Ivan Miskovic (203-F/C-84, college: Alaska-Fairb.) and a stellar team effort form the entire Bakken team was too much to handle. [read more]

Roskilde VS Amager (74-78): Maybe Amager was sleeping a bit on the lower ranked Roskilde team, because their defense was definitely not ready from the start. Roskilde jumped out early gaining a 30-17 lead after the first quarter. Head coach Jesper Sorensen could not at all have been happy, but this Amager team was able to gather themselves and held Roskilde to only 11 points in the second quarter. In the end Amager was able to secure the win after a very close game. Amager got solid double-digit scoring from four players, while Keith Borgan (180-G-83, college: Metro St.) led Roskilde with 33 points.
Horsens IC VS Svendborg (63-84): This was a relative easy victory for Svendborg. Horsens ran out of gas after the first quarter and Svendborg could secure the win after that point. William Pharis (206-F/C-81, agency: Promotex, college: Arkansas) and Ivan Hoger (225-C-82, agency: Global Sports Plaza) were the leading scorers with 21 and 20 points. Some concerns for Svendborg is the situation with Johnell Smith (186-G-80, college: New Orleans) and Ivan Hoger, both players will be sidelined for some time to rest. The club has said that they wish to make sure that their key players are a 100 percent fit, before they allow them to play again. Svendborg does not wish to jeopardize their chances in the Play-Offs and therefore would rather risk losing a few games in Januar, if they have to play without their main guys for a while.
Naestved VS Randers (64-89): After an even first quarter nothing seemed to work for Naestved. The ball just did not go in the net for the home team. 7-17 Free throws is also a first for a Geoff Kotila team. Naestved pretty much beat themselves this night, while Randers played a solid game and saw Bonell Colas (206-F-82, agency: ProSportsCareers, college: Florida) and young Dane Chris Nielsen (193-G-85) but up big numbers. Colas had 25 points and 12 rebounds, while combo-guard Chris Nielsen produced the high score of 31 points on 12 for 19 shooting.
Horsholm VS SISU (83-78): An important game for both teams, trying to better their positions in the standings to secure a better spot for either Play-Offs or relegation play. The game was thrilling to the spectators. SISU led most of the way, but a strong home-team rally ensured the tie and a chance to go into overtime play. SISU again leaned heavily on the play of their imports, Mychal Kearse (193-G-83, college: Mt.St.Mary's) and Jesse Pellot-Rosa (193-G-84, agency: Pro One Sports, college: Va Commonwealth), who scored 31 and 17 points for them, while Horsholms attack was more balanced and in the end, proved to be more productive when the game was on the line. For Horsholm Jesse Pellot-Rosa had 23 points and 8 steals, while four other players also scored 10 or more points.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Eurobasket Denmark is wishing everyone a 'late' Merry Christmas and an 'early' Happy New Year.
The first part of the Danish season is over, and we have seen a lot of good basketball, and a league that is constantly growing. Better teams, better players and a more competitive environment surrounding the Canal Digital League.
It is an exciting time for Danish Basketball, along with the growth of the CDL, the media and television is expanding its coverage, better youth programs are being established for our young talents, and the Danish Basketball Federation is also doing great work to further Danish basketball in all areas.
So it is on a very positive note that Danish Basketball is entering 2009.
All the best to everyone.
