Regular Season Round 18: Cherno More - Balkan 85-88

Date: February 4, 2023
Ninth-ranked Cherno More (5-12) made lots of trouble for second ranked Balkan (13-4) in Varna. The visitors from Botevgrad managed to secure only three-point victory 88-85. However their fans expected much easier game. Strangely Cherno More outrebounded Balkan 42-30 including a 15-4 advantage in offensive rebounds. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 24 assists. It was a good game for Chilean-Spanish center Manny Suarez (208-1993, college: Creighton) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 19 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks. The former international Pavlin Ivanov (195-1993, agency: Octagon Europe) contributed with 25 points and 5 assists for the winners. Nigerian forward Avery Ugba (203-1994, college: Austin Peay, agency: BIG) replied with a double-double by scoring 20 points and 12 rebounds and American Thatch Unruh (196-1994, college: Cent Arkansas, agency: BIG) added 26 points and 5 rebounds in the effort for Cherno More. Defending champion maintains second position with 13-4 record having five points less than leader Rilski. Cherno More at the other side dropped to the tenth place with 12 games lost. Balkan will play against bottom-ranked Shumen (#11) at home in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Cherno More will play against Chernomorets in Burgas and hopes to get back on the winning track.
