Regular Season Round 29: Shumen - Balkan 89-105
Date: April 19, 2023
Very expected game when 11th ranked Shumen (6-22) lost at home to second ranked Balkan (21-7) 105-89 on Wednesday. Balkan made 22-of-29 free shots (75.9 percent) during the game. The former international Nikolay Grozev (200-1994) nailed a double-double by scoring 17 points and 10 rebounds for the winning side and Chilean-Spanish center Manny Suarez (208-1993, college: Creighton) accounted for 13 points and 8 rebounds. Five Balkan players scored in double figures. American guard Ishmael El-Amin (190, college: URI) came up with 35 points (!!!), 6 rebounds and 7 assists and the other American import forward Rey Idowu (206, college: Tulsa) added 20 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists respectively for Shumen in the defeat. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Balkan have a solid series of four victories in a row. Defending champion maintains second place with 21-7 record having five points less than leader Rilski. Loser Shumen stay dead last with 22 lost games. They share the position with Cherno More. Balkan will meet Akademik P. (#8) in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Shumen will play against the league's leader Rilski and hope to secure a win.
