Regular Season Round 17: Mersin - Tofas 85-88
Date: February 3, 2013
Rather predictable result when tenth ranked Tofas (7-10) edged 12th ranked Mersin (5-12) in Akdeniz 88-85 on Sunday. Tofas made 23-of-29 free shots (79.3 percent) during the game. Tofas outrebounded Mersin 40-28 including 27 on the defensive glass. Mersin was plagued by 26 personal fouls down the stretch. Nigerian power forward Chinemelu Elonu (206-87, college: Texas A&M) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 14 points and 15 rebounds. Lithuanian guard Mindaugas Lukauskis (198-79) contributed with 21 points (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) for the winners. Tofas' coach Ahmet Caki used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. American point guard David Holston (170-86, college: Chicago St., agency: Priority Sports) answered with 22 points and 6 assists (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) and the other American import guard J.P. Prince (201-87, college: Tennessee) added 11 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in the effort for Mersin. Five Mersin players scored in double figures. Tofas moved-up to eighth place, which they share with Erdemir. Mersin lost their third game in a row. They dropped to the eleventh position with 12 games lost. Tofas will face higher ranked Besiktas (#6) in Istanbul in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Mersin will play at home against the league's leader Fenerbahce Ulker (#1) and will have a slim chance for a victory.
