Regular Season Round 20: Besiktas - Mersin 105-84
Date: March 3, 2012
Very expected game when 12th ranked Mersin (7-13) was smashed by fourth ranked Besiktas (15-5) in Istanbul 105-84 on Saturday. The game without a history. Besiktas led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. They made 27-of-31 free shots (87.1 percent) during the game, while Mersin only scored eleven points from the stripe. Puerto Rican guard Carlos Arroyo (188-79, college: FIU) orchestrated the victory by scoring 18 points and 6 rebounds (was perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line !!!). British forward Pops Mensah-Bonsu (206-83, college: G.Washington, agency: SportsTalent) contributed with 18 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. American forward Omar Sneed (198-76, college: Memphis) replied with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists and his fellow American import guard Alex Scales (192-78, college: Oregon) added 16 points and 5 rebounds in the effort for Mersin. Five Besiktas and four Mersin players scored in double figures. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Besiktas maintains fourth position with 15-5 record. Loser Mersin dropped to the eleventh place with 13 games lost. Besiktas will face Erdemir (#9) on the road in the next round where they are favorite. Mersin will play against Turk Telekom in Ankara and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
