Regular Season Round 19: Mersin - Karsiyaka 68-73

Date: February 26, 2011
Not a big story in a game when 15th ranked Mersin (4-15) lost to sixth ranked Karsiyaka (12-7) in Akdeniz 68-73. Mersin was ahead by 4 points at the halftime before a 37-28 second half run of Karsiyaka. American forward Andre Smith (203-85, college: N.Dakota St.) fired 17 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. His fellow American import guard Osiris Eldridge (191-88, college: Illinois St., agency: N.E.T.) chipped in 10 points and 8 rebounds. Five Karsiyaka players scored in double figures. Karsiyaka's coach Hakan Demir allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. American guard Anthony Grundy (189-79, college: N.Carolina St., agency: Strategic Sports) produced 22 points and forward Nedim Yucel (203-79) added 6 points and 14 rebounds respectively for lost side. Karsiyaka moved-up to fifth place, which they share with Besiktas. Mersin at the other side keeps the fifteenth position with 15 games lost. Karsiyaka's next round opponent will be Turk Telekom (#10) in Ankara which should be theoretically an easy game. Mersin will play on the road against Tofas (#13) in Bursa and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
