Regular Season Round 9: Basket Esch - Black Star 99-72

Date: November 18, 2012
The game between closely ranked teams ended with ninth ranked Basket Esch's (3-6) home victory over bottom-ranked Black Star (1-8) 99-72 on Sunday. The hosts trailed by 5 points after first quarter, but they stormed back to get the 1-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 99-72. Basket Esch shot 64.5 percent from the field. They also forced 19 Black Star turnovers. It was a great shooting night for Basket Esch especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 61.1 percentage. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 26 assists comparing to just 9 passes made by Black Star's players. It was a good game for international Joe Biever (184-90) who led his team to a victory with 21 points and 5 assists. International Martin Rajniak (204-78, college: CSU Bakersfield) contributed with 10 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists for the winners. Five Basket Esch players scored in double figures. Basket Esch's coach Franck Meriguet felt very confident that he used 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American power forward Billy McDaniel (201-84, college: Ark.-Monticello) answered with a double-double by scoring 25 points and 11 rebounds and the other American import point guard Terry Bryant (185-85, college: SE Louisiana) added 14 points in the effort for Black Star. Basket Esch have a solid series of three victories in a row. They moved-up to eighth place, which they share with Soleuvre. Black Star at the other side stay at the bottom position with eight games lost. Basket Esch will face higher ranked Contern (#4) on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Black Star will play against the league's second-placed Amicale (#2) where they are definitely not considered as a favorite in this game either.
