Regular Season Round 17: GC Zurich - SAM Massagno 56-72

Date: January 23, 2011
No shocking result in a game when eighth ranked SAM Massagno (7-10) defeated on the road bottom-ranked Zurich Wildcats (1-16) 72-56. The game was mostly controlled by SAM Massagno. Zurich Wildcats was better in third quarter 22-12. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. SAM Massagno shot 20 for 28 from the free-throw line, while Zurich Wildcats only scored three points from the stripe. 24 personal fouls committed by Zurich Wildcats helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American guard Ali Farokhmanesh (183-88, college: N.Iowa, agency: Scorers 1st Sportmanagement) nailed 27 points and 4 assists for the winning side and his fellow American import forward A.J. Hawkins (198-85, college: Oklahoma Baptist) accounted for 15 points. Serbian center Mladen Lukic (207-92) came up with a double-double by scoring 17 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks and forward Lucas Waldesbuehl (195-89) added 4 points and 7 rebounds respectively for Zurich Wildcats in the defeat. Zurich Wildcats' coach Riet Lareida tested ten players seeing no chance for a win. SAM Massagno moved-up to seventh place, which they share with Starwings. Zurich Wildcats lost their sixth game in a row. Newly promoted team stay at the bottom position with 16 games lost. SAM Massagno's next round opponent will be higher ranked SAV Vacallo (#3) in Chiasso and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Zurich Wildcats will play on the road against Starwings (#8) in Basel and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
