Regular Season Round 1: Asefa Estudian. - Valencia 71-69

Date: October 9, 2011
A very interesting game took place in Madrid. It ended with only two-point defeat on the road of bottom-ranked Valencia Basket (0-1) to leader Asefa Estudiantes (1-0) 71-69 on Sunday evening. Host team only slightly avoided a big embarassment. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The hosts were ahead by 5 points but lost the second period ending it with a 1-point deficit before their 16-13 run, which allowed them to win the game. Asefa Estudiantes forced 23 Valencia Basket turnovers. 24 personal fouls committed by Valencia Basket helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The former international forward Carlos Jimenez (205-76) nailed 12 points and 9 rebounds for the winning side and American swingman Antoine Wright (201-84, college: Texas A&M) accounted for 22 points and 6 steals. Four Asefa Estudiantes players scored in double figures. American forward Nik Caner-Medley (203-83, college: Maryland, agency: Priority Sports) came up with 17 points and 7 rebounds and international guard Rafael Martinez (191-82) added 13 points and 7 rebounds respectively for Valencia Basket in the defeat. Valencia Basket's coach tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Asefa Estudiantes keeps a position of league leader, which they share with 7 other teams. Valencia Basket at the other side still closes the standings with one game lost. Asefa Estudiantes' next round opponent will be Regal FC Barcelona (#7) on the road which should be theoretically an easy game. Valencia Basket will play against CAI Zaragoza (#9).
