ABA

Last ABA games results - by Gianni Pascucci
The SETX Mavericks are again undefeated. In their last game, they defeated the Mississippi Blues at the Ford Arena in Beaumont, TX, 109-72. The Mavericks stifling defense shut down the Blues offense limiting them to 33% shooting for the game. The Mavs came out quickly in the first quarter controlling the tempo and allowing the dynamic frontline duo of Jon Rogers (6'9''-F/C-84, college: Valdosta St.) and DeRon Rutledge (6'6''-F-75, college: Tex.A&M-Kingsv.) to set the early pace in the game. SETX led at the half 56-38. In the second half the Mavericks bench pressured the Blues at every opportunity and took total control of the game mid-way through the third quarter. Currye Todd (6'4''-G-85, college: Lamar) and Keith Simpson (6'7''-G/F-83, agency: 22ft) again came off the Mavericks bench to lead the Mavericks to a comfortable lead. At the end, Currye Todd was the Mavs top scorer with 17 points. Josh Pace (6'6''-G-83, college: Syracuse) ended with 15 points and 7 rebs. Veteran DeRon Rutledge continued his consistent play with 14 points and 5 rebounds. Jermaine Blackburn (6'7''-G/F-83, college: Boise St.) and Keith Simpson scored 13 ps a piece. Jon Rogers dominated under the boards by pulling down 15 rebounds and blocking 6 shots. Another team from Texas, the West Texas Whirlwind, fell short to the North Texas Fresh, 129-140 yesterday night. It was a great game, with six lead changes and a ton of big shot hit. The Whilwinds ended the 3rd with a 93-92 lead after being down at half 60-51. North Texas had a hot hand in Titus Byrd (5'11''-G-82, college: Lincoln (MO)) with 5 3pointers in the 4th. Byrd had a game high of 33 points and Dave Smith (5'10''-G, college: Cameron) added 23 for the night, he too hitting two decisive three pointers in last quarter. For the Whirlwinds. Marlo Saunders (6'5''-F-84, college: Texas-PB) set a team record with 14 big threes and scored 54 points (!!) also a team record. John Hollman (6'3''-G-84, college: Langston) added 15 points and 6 steals at the losing side. The Lake Michigan Admirals were not going to let the West Virginia Blazers take the wind out of their sails especially not in front of their faithful 400 fans on a Saturday night at Lake Michigan Catholic. The crowd was in the game all the way to the end and so were the Admirals. The first quarter was a neck to neck battle with the Blazers leading 27-25. But the Admirals answered back with a 41-22 second quarter run making the score 66-49 at the half. The second half seemed to be the same but the West Virginia Blazers came within four points towards the end of the game, but Odgra Bobo (6'6''-F-85, college: Oakland CC) put the game away with two straight three pointers to put the iceing on the cake. Odgra Bobo, Jeremy File (6'1''-G-84, college: W.Michigan), and Dominick Melton (6'6''-F, college: Wisc.-Parkside) all scored 21 points a piece to lead the Admirals balanced attack. Cedric Brown (6'7''-F/C-82, college: Bluefield) lead all scores for the Blazers with 38 points. Final score 132-123 Admirals.

#1 - SETX Mavericks 123 -- Houston Takers 48 - by Chris Terrell
Beaumont, TX - The #1 ranked Southeast Texas Mavericks (6-0) came out strong in the first quarter of their game with the Houston Takers (0-3) at Ford Arena on Saturday night. Mavericks perimeter players Jermaine Blackburn (6'7''-G/F-83, college: Boise St.) and Josh Pace (6'6''-G-83, college: Syracuse) set the tone with early baskets to move the Mavs out in front of the Takers from Houston, TX. The offensive play of Blackburn and Pace along with the dominating play inside by SETX center Jon Rogers (6'9''-F/C-84, college: Valdosta St.) helped the Mavericks take a commanding lead at the end of the first period of play 32-14. From there the Mavericks never looked back

In the second period reigning ABA MVP DeRon Rutledge (6'6''-F-75, college: Tex.A&M-Kingsv.) got into the act with two quick baskets and point guard Mike Crain got the Mavericks out and running. Currye Todd (6'4''-G-85, college: Lamar) and Keith Simpson (6'7''-G/F-83, agency: 22ft) continued their strong play for the Mavericks by coming off the Mavericks bench to continue the onslaught. Power forward Lamar Sanders also continued his strong play on both ends of the court for the Mavs. Rogers and Sanders dominated the paint for the Mavericks and back-up point guard Leonard Brown pressured the Takers guards into errors and turn-overs. At the half the Mavericks were in total command with a 70-25 lead!

The second half was no different and mid-way through the third quarter the Mavericks cleared their bench, but continued their stellar play. There was no let up by Southeast Texas on this night and the SETX Mavs cruised to a record setting 75 point victory over division foe the Houston Takers.

MAVERICKS SCORING:

Mavericks center Jon Rogers recorded the SETX Mavericks first triple double with a 13 point, 15 rebound, and 10 block shot game. Rogers has been dominating inside all season thus far this season for the Mavericks. The leading scorer for the Mavs for the game was forward Keith Simpson, who recorded a 21 point and 5 rebound effort for the Mavericks. Jermaine Blackburn chipped in 14 points and dished out 8 assist. Currye Todd continued his hot shooting off the Mavs bench with 13 points and he also pulled down 9 rebounds. DeRon Rutledge and Josh Pace followed up with 10 points each respectively for the Mavs.

Mavericks Superlatives:

This 75 point victory for the Mavericks was the largest in the team's two year history. The Mavericks also held the Takers to 20% shooting from the field for the game while holding Houston to 48 points for the game (all best for the Mavericks).

The Mavericks stretched it's ABA best regular season winning streak to 30 games over the last two seasons. With the victory on Saturday night the SETX Mavericks became only the second team in the history of professional basketball on any level to win 30 straight regular season games. Only the NBA's 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers hold a longer regular season winning streak at 33 games.

The Mavericks recorded is second straight win in the last three nights after defeating the Mississippi Blues on Thursday night at Ford Arena 109-72.

The Mavs now have won 20 consecutive games at Ford Arena!

Mavericks Next Game:

The Mavericks will leave on Monday traveling to Kansas City, MO where they will take on the Kansas City Stars on Wednesday night. The Stars are off to a good start this season and are undefeated. Kansas City was ranked 6th in last week's ABA Power Rankings. Tip-off for the game between the Mavs and Stars will be at 7:00 PM on Wednesday evening.

CYPRUS

Ioannou and Keravnos joined forces - by Chris Mammides
In the only official Basketball league of the republiv of Cyprus, Panagiotis Yiannaras will be staying in Strovolos history, one more time, as the Head coach of the team with the smaller number of games in his hands as he was teh head coach of the Strovolos team just two games, the one for Keravnos's European duties and the other one which was the great victory over AEL in Strovolos. From today and onwards, the Cypriot Head Coach will be returning in the position of the assistant coach as the Head Coach will be the most successfull Greek Coach in Cyprus History, Memos Ioannou . The ex Head Coach of Keravnos and Apoel Nicosia knows very well the Cyprus Basketball as he also helped quite a lot the Cyprus Basketball Federation from the position of the Technical Advisor in the Cyprus National Team. Ioannou won titles with both the teams that joined in the previous years (Apoel Nicosia and Keravnos) and he will definetely help the Strovolos club. It is also importand the fact that a number of players knows the Greek coach very well and that it's more than sure that he will bring in the Cyprus team ,other than the winning spirit (Memos has this charisma in both as a human being and as a Head Coach - nobody can forget the greatest victory in Keravnos History against the Bosnian Borac Nektar Banja Luka in the seazon 2000-2001 and the qaulification in the top 8 teams in Saporta Cup - Greatest moment of Strovolos Basketball) Morever, the successfull Head Coach will bring in the team the American player to repalce Carmelo Lee

(201-F-77, college: Long Beach St.) who got injured two weeks ago. Keravnos has a negative record of 0-3 in the European courts and a record of 5-2 in the Cyprus league remaining quite far and away from this seazon's target will need to do a great comeback to suceed as planned.

Bulldogs destroy Hudson Valley in season opener - by Gianni Pascucci
The Elmira Bulldogs served notice to the rest of the league that they are again one of the best team in the Eastern Basketball Alliance. The Hudson Valley Hype showed up to Elmira, NY with former NCAA D-1 stars Louie McCroskey (6'5''-G-85, agency: GOTathletes, college: Marist) and Gerald Carter (6'4''-G-85, college: Marist) but it was no where near enough for the star studded home town Elmira Bulldogs. The Bulldogs jumped out early on the visiting Hype Hype and never looked back. They led 31-19 after the first quarter, and 65-49 at the half. Elmire looked even stronger in the second half of action en-route to a 140-103 blow out win in the teams season/home opener. Haron Hargrave (6'0''-G-84, college: Sacramento St.) led the Elmira Bulldogs in scoring with 25 points, also dishing out a team high 8 assists. Aubin Scott (6'2''-G-83, college: LIU Brooklyn) added 23 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Kirk Stewart (6'5''-F, college: NYIT) and Kenny Gethers (6'3''-G/F-85, college: RIT) each scored 16 points while Stewart grabbed 6 rebounds and Gethers hauled in 4 rebs. Eric Bresett (6'8''-C-85) performed for 15 pts and 5 rebs, and two other Bulldogs ended the game in bouble digits. Louie McCroskey led the Hudson Valley Hype in defeat with a game high 37 points.

Avengers down Newark in season opener - by Gianni Pascucci
The Avengers had a succesful first game they too, defeating last night the Newark Patrons, 122-102 behind Tyree Harris (186-G-79, college: Pfeiffer), who scored 24 pts, Ryan Hughes (191-G-83, agency: GOTathletes), who added 19 pts, and Daryl Owens (188-G-76, college: Nova CC), who completed an impressive performance at 10 pts, 9 rebs, 7 assist. Alexandria wore down Newark playing with heavy hearts as the team captain, Justin Moore (175-G-80, agency: GOTathletes, college: St.Augustine) sat out due to the death of his granfather, who was a great leader and influenced many players growing up in alexandria. Just after the game, Daryl Owens accepted to answer to some questions from Usbasket.com.
Q = It seems that the Avengers started with the right pace even this EBA season. What do you think about your team ? A = 1.We have a very strong talented team this season that can play half court or up tempo game. This is the best avengers team I've been a part of.
Q = The EBA league in general seems more strong and the game in it is at the highest level ever. More and more D-1 players, experienced coaches and so
on. You are a league veteran, so you lived in first person this kind of 'upgradind'. What do you think about this EBA moment ? A = EBA is a very strong league this season.I' ve played in it since 99 and this is the most talent I've seen in almost 11 years
Q = Now, some about you: after a quick checking of all the league rosters, you look one of the oldest players of the 2009-10 season. The same you were
able to end the first game of season with 10 pts, 9 rebs, 7 assist. Which is your secret to stay in a so good shape ? A = First and foremost I have to thank God for giving me the strength to compete a high level. I train very hard and also worked on things that will make me a complete player. I use the smallest things as the biggest motivation.

NM1 Day 15: Reims on the big 8 - by Chris Spiesser
The results:
Reims 89-79 Le Puy
GET Vosges 83-70 Denain
Saint-Chamond 67-59 Blois
Challans 67-59 Angers ESSL
Livin 73-80 Saint-Quentin
Saint-Etienne 77-84 Bayonne Urcuit
Angers BC 52-75 Chlons
Boulogne 90-96 Cognac
Centre Fdral 81-69 Longwy

Day 01:
Chalons 73-77 Saint Etienne

The main facts
Reims grabbed an eighth successive win against Le Puy. Despite missing Ledoux, the reds led the whole game with an efficient french axis: Atamna, Christophe and Bestron totalized 73 efficiency points. This result has an important impact on the standings, Le Puy being unable to secure its place 1. Challans takes advantage with a home win against a permisive EOSL Angers. St-Quentin is another happy top team after its victory against Lievin based on a serious 3rd QT (10-25). Denain and Angers' situation appear more complicated as both teams seem to get exhausted before the Christmas break.
In Epinal, the nordists lost a third road game in a row with an ugly 38% shooting percentage. Angers BC did even worse (32%) and never entered a game, Chalons already secured at halftime (26-39).The situation is getting quite better for the GET and Chalons who suffered a home loss in the postponed game against Saint Etienne. Unfortunately for them, the CASE didn't confirm at home, against Bayonne. Harris and Blair had an impressive confrontation but Thomas Viglianco came as the X factor. Improving are also Saint-Chamond which won a fourth game in a row and Cognac, with a second streak win. Let's finish with the CFBB's second green game sheet. The youngsters secured the result with authority as they never gave real hope to the opponent. Westermann and Pourchot led this performance with nice figures.

Some key players:
Thomas Viglianco - Bayonne: 17pts (5/6 3pts), 12rbs, 4ass
Larry Blair- Bayonne: 31 pts (6/9 3pts), 6rbs, 4ass
Andre Harris - CASE: 25pts (9/15), 10rbs, 6ass
Jonathan Godin - Cognac: 15pts, 7rbs, 6ass
Leo Westermann - CFBB: 21pts (7/10), 4rbs, 3ass
Vicent Pourchot - CFBB: 13pts (6/7), 5rbs, 3ass, 6blk
Moses Mubarak - Chalons: 22pts (6/9 3pts), 4rbs, 4stl

GasTerra Flames crushed WCAA Giants, winning 102-83 - by Fred Roggen
The term firing on all cylinders applied to the GasTerra Flames on Saturday night as they used hot shooting and outstanding defense to run away with a 102-83 win over visiting WCAA Giants at a rowdy Martiniplaza (3450 spectators). The Flames set the pace against the Giants from the start and maintained it till the final hooter. With the comfortable lead, 22-12 in the first quarter, the Flames were able to play loose basketball and managed to keep the double-digit lead through the remainder of the game.
After taking a 46-37 lead into the locker room, the GasTerra Flames came out with the hot-hand once again in the second half. With the game knotted at three, the Flames offense that Head Coach Marco van den Berg had bragged about on multiple occasions finally made its appearance, and it was a grand one. The Flames were particularly strong on defence, keeping the Giants in check throughout and reducing the Giants to just seven three-point baskets from 17 attempts. The Flames, meanwhile, shot 13-of-21 three-pointers.
Robby Bostain

(194-G/F-84, college: Furman) was on a shooting spree, scoring 29 points in his teams triumph and hit almost 67 percent of his three-point shots (6-9). He got full support from Matt Haryasz

(210-C-84, college: Stanford) who contributed 25 while Matt Bauscher (188-G-85, agency: 540 Sports) scored 20 and had 7 assists. The Giants, who were slow to match the fast pace, lagged behind all game. Jordan Collins (208-C-82, agency: Strategic Sports, college: N.Carolina St.) was outstanding for them, scoring 20 points while Jesse Kimbrough (183-G-82, college: Jacksonville) added 15 points and Brandon Griffin (202-F-82, agency: R.H.Consultancy, college: SE Missouri St.) contributed 14 points.

Thirty-Nine teams confirmed for Youth Olympic Games - by Olusegun Ikuesan
Thirty-nine National teams from all corners of the globe will play 3-on-3 basketball at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore this summer.

The YOG is a platform through which youngsters will learn about Olympic values and the benefits of sport. The hope is that they will share their experiences with other communities around the globe.

FIBA received praise by the IOC for the innovative approach of using the 3-on-3 format in Singapore.

All five FIBA zones Africa, Oceania, Asia, the Americas and Europe will have representation.

Egypt, India, South Africa and the Central African Republic, countries where the sport doesnt gain as much worldwide attention in the five-on-five game, will be among the 20 mens sides while Chile, Ivory Coast and Vanuatu will be in the 20-strong womens competition.

Africa will have six teams while Asia and the Americas will have eight and nine teams, respectively.

Europe will have 13 teams and Oceania three.

To make certain of the worldwide representation, the decision was taken to not allow countries to have teams in both the mens and womens tournaments with the exception of Singapore, because they are hosts, and the United States, who have top four sides in both genders of the FIBA World Rankings.

FIBA President Bob Elphinston said: Instead of the traditional system which the IOC had suggested, which would have been six teams, we will actually have 20 boys teams and 20 girls' teams.

Its a remarkable opportunity. For example, Vanuatu, a very small country in the Pacific, a member of FIBA Oceania Zone, has been selected in the girls basketball competition. The Youth Olympic Games is also about what they call universality.

Many different countries need to get a chance to participate.

Countries were able to ask the IOC which sports they would like to participate in. In turn, FIBA nominated the best federations, so Russia, Spain, China, Australia, etc, were clearly in that group. Then we also settled on a second group of developing countries that are doing a good job in the development of the sport.

Mali will be among the womens sides at the Youth Olympic Games and the FIBA Central Board member from the country, Salamatou Maiga, spoke about the game in her country and next summers big tournament.

Maiga said: Mali is the best team in Africa in all of womens basketball. Mali will do very well in the new experience of the 3-on-3.

Young players in Mali will all play with a lot of heart.

Turkey was confirmed in the mens tournament and the countrys basketball federation president Turgay Demirel said: Were proud of being a part of this, the 3-on-3 concept. This will be exciting for our young players who are going to take part.

Outdoor basketball, 3-on-3 basketball is big here already. Some tournaments are done by sponsors.

The 20 teams in the womens competition will be decided jointly by IOC/FIBA later.

Youth Olympic Games basketball participants confirmed on Sunday:

Mens teams: Argentina, Central African Republic, Croatia, Egypt, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Lithuania, New Zealand, Panama, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Serbia, Spain, South Africa, Turkey, USA and US Virgin Islands.

Womens teams: Angola, Australia, Belarus, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Ivory Coast, Japan, Korea, Mali, Russia, Singapore, USA, Vanuatu.

Caracter finally eligible for Miners - by Kevin Cochran
UTEP junior forward Derrick Caracter has met NCAA transfer eligibility requirements and will make his season debut on Sunday against New Mexico St..

The Miners (5-0) will host the Aggies (2-5) at 7:05 p.m. in the Don Haskins Center.

'I'm happy for Derrick because he has gone through a lot of trials and tribulations, a lot of them self-inflicted,' UTEP coach Tony Barbee said. 'He has earned his way towards getting a second chance at UTEP. I'm happy for him, but I'm also happy for what he brings to our team. He will bring depth to an already stacked frontcourt. He becomes one of the pieces - not the only piece, but there's no denying that he makes us a better team through his contributions offensively, defensively and rebounding.'

Caracter was regarded as one of the nation's top high school prospects before spending two seasons at the University of Louisville (2006-07, 2007-08). He averaged 8.1 points and 3.9 rebounds as a freshman, and 8.3 points and 4.5 rebounds as a sophomore. In 53 games for the Cardinals, Caracter scored in double figures 20 times. He tallied his career-high 24 points against BYU on Nov. 23, 2007.

The 6-9, 275-pound Caracter was rated the no. 6 prospect in the country by Hoop Scoop, no. 10 by Van Coleman, no. 12 by USA Today, no. 13 by Scout.com, no. 16 by Bob Gibbons and no. 25 by RivalsHoops after averaging 15.4 points and 7.1 rebounds for Notre Dame Prep his senior year. Notre Dame Prep was 27-3 and ranked no. 1 in the nation.

NetScouts Basketball National Player of the Week - John Wall - by Carl Berman
John Wall (6'4''-G) of Kentucky has been named NetScouts Basketball's National Player of the Week. Wall, a 6'4 freshman point guard was listed as our top recruit this season and he has been more than living up to expectations.

Wall scored a season high 25 points in Kentucky's 64-61 victory over UConn this past Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. He scored 12 of undefeated Kentucky's last 15 points. Wall is incredibly fast and the UConn guards could not stay with him. Wall's extremely long arms make him a tough defender and he came up with 6 steals in the game. Last weekend, Wall had 16 points and 7 assists in leading the Wildcats to a 68-66 victory over North Carolina.

On the season Wall is averaging 19.0 points per game to go along with 7 assists and 3 steals per game. Lebron James feels Wall will be the #1 pick in the 2010 NBA Draft and right now we do not disagree with him.

John Wall (6'4''-G) - NetScouts Basketball's National Player of the Week! NetScouts Basketball is a progressive media company and the largest scouting service in the United States.

Hoyas top Huskies at Wooden Tradition - by Kevin Cochran
Junior forward Julian Vaughn scored a career-high 18 points, all five starters reached double figures in scoring and No. 15 Georgetown used a 20-2 run over the first 6:05 of the second half to open a 20-point lead en route to a 74-66 win over No. 17 Washington at the John Wooden Classic, held at the Honda Center. It was the eighth-straight win for the Hoyas, who are 8-0 for the first time under sixth year Head Coach John Thompson and for the first time since the 2004-05 season. Washington falls to 6-2 overall.

Leading by only one point at the half, 30-29, Georgetown went on the offensive over the opening six minutes of the second half, going on a 20-2 run over the first 6:05 of the second half and taking a 51-31 lead on a dunk from Vaughn with 13:55 to play in the game.

The Hoyas opened the second half with a jumper from sophomore guard Jason Clark and a layup from junior guard Austin Freeman. Washington coach Lorenzo Romar was called for a technical foul and Freeman hit both shots to make it 36-29. Vaughn scored on a layup and a dunk to push the lead to double digits, 40-29, and a breakaway dunk from Clark made it 42-29, as the Hoyas scored 12-straight points and held UW scoreless over the first 4:02. A jumper from Huskies guard Isaiah Thomas ended the run, but the Hoyas scored nine-straight points, with two layups from sophomore center Greg Monroe, a three from Clark and a dunk from Vaughn.

Washington responded to the Hoya run with a 7-0 run of its own and pulled to within 51-38 on a layup from Thomas, but Georgetown used a 9-2 spurt over 4:50 and extended the margin back to 20 points, 60-40, on a layup from Monroe with 6:40 to play.

The lead was 18 points, 66-48, after a dunk from Vaughn with 3:16 to play and the Huskies pulled to within nine points, 69-59, after an 11-2 run capped by a Thomas three-pointer, but junior guard Chris Wright hit 5-of-7 free throws in the final minute to seal the win.

The first half was back and forth, with both teams struggling from the field - Georgetown shot 31.3 percent from the floor and Washington shot 41.4% - a combined 22 turnovers, nine ties and four lead changes.

The Huskies took a 9-6 lead at the first media timeout after a basket from Tyreese Breshers, but a three from Freeman quickly tied the game at 9-all. A jumper from Abdul Gaddy (6'3''-G) with 7:25 to play cut Georgetown's lead to 19-18, but the Hoyas responded with a 10-3 run over a span of 2:47 and took a 28-22 lead on a driving layup from Wright.

Breakers beat 36ers - by Mike Lacey
On Saturday night the NZ Breakers gained only their second ever win in Adelaide as they beat the home side 92-85 in a complete reversal of the defeat to Perth 48 hours earlier when they gave up 38 final quarter points. Against the 36ers the Breakers won the final quarter 33-11 to overturn a three quarter time 74-59 deficit.
Rick Rickert (211-F-83, agency: Court Side, college: Minnesota) led the Breakers with a season best 22 points and added a game high 7 rebounds.
KIRK PENNEY was prominent again with 19 points despite only scoring 1 from 7 three pointers whilst
CJ BRUTON contributed 14 points and dished off 7 assists.
TONY RONALDSON with11 points registered 900 points for the Breakers (9th all time).

The win gives the Breakers an 8-8 record for the season but they will still be annoyed they gave up a double figure advantage to a Martin Cattalini inspired Perth Wildcats, eventually succumbing 106-100 at the NSEC last Thursday. Cattalini scored 17 points in the final quarter to help propel the Wildcats back into the top two of the ANBL ladder.
KIRK PENNEY led the Breakers scoring with 29 points and also contributed a personal best 7 assists
TOM ABERCROMBIE, off the bench, also registered a personal best of 8 rebounds and added 10 points, 4 assists and 3 steals for good measure.

The Breakers next have a home game against the fourth placed Townsville Crocodiles, The Breakers have defeated the Crocs twice this season and hold an overall home record of 6 wins, 5 defeats against John Rillies former club.

OSCAR FORMAN playing his 115th consecutive game needs 3 points to reach 1200 points for the club @ 10.5 ppg and PAUL HENARE in his 205th game needs 5 points to reach the same milestone.
Rick Rickert requires a single assists to bring up a century of assists for the club and 16 points to rack up 900 points for the club in his 50th consecutive game since returning to the Breakers following back surgery. DILLON BOUCHER also plays his 50th consecutive game and requires a single point to record 900 ANBL points in his 215th league appearance.
TONY RONALDSON needs 5 assists for 1800 career assists @ 2.7apg.
