Date: March 10, 2012
The game in Helsinki was also worth to mention about. One of their biggest challengers Kauhajoen Karhu (21-14) played at the court of fifth ranked Torpan Pojat (19-15). Torpan Pojat managed to secure a 5-point victory 97-92. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning the initial quarter 30-24. But Kauhajoen Karhu won second period 22-19. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Torpan Pojat made 16-of-20 charity shots (80.0 percent) during the game. They also forced 20 Kauhajoen Karhu turnovers. The game was dominated by American players. point guard Josh Wilson (188-87, college: N.Arizona, agency: Hightower Law Firm) orchestrated the victory by scoring 29 points (on 10-of-13 shooting from the field). Forward Justin Hawkins (201-85, college: N.Mexico St.) contributed with 23 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. Wilson is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Torpan Pojat's coach Tomi Kaminen allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. Forward Kelly Beidler (199-88, college: Mt.St.Mary's, agency: R.H.Consultancy) replied with a double-double by scoring 21 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists and point guard Clevin Hannah (180-87, college: Wichita St., agency: Court Side) added 33 points (!!!) and 4 assists in the effort for Kauhajoen Karhu. Torpan Pojat maintains fifth position with 19-15 record. Kauhajoen Karhu at the other side keeps the fourth place with 14 games lost. Torpan Pojat will play against bottom-ranked Namika Lahti (#11) on the road in the next round where they are favorite. Kauhajoen Karhu will play against Tampereen Pyrinto (#3) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
