There were only 2 rounds played so far and it's still very beginning of the Regular Season in Superliga. Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Penza Peja at the home court on Sunday night. Hosts were defeated by Peja 03 68-61. Peja 03 forced 28 Penza Peja turnovers. Americans were the main players on the court. Guard Zutorya Cook (170, college: CMU) had a double-double by scoring 21 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 steals to lead the charge for the winners and forward Brittiney Seymour (188-2000, college: Shaw) chipped in 11 points and 15 rebounds during the contest. Forward Nyshae Weaver (183, college: IUP) responded with 24 points and 7 rebounds. Peja 03 are looking forward to face Prishtina at home in the next round. Penza Peja will play against Trepca in Mitrovice and is hoping to prove to their fans that the loss was just an accident.
Very important is a home loss of Prishtina against Bashkimi on Saturday night. Host Prishtina was crushed by Bashkimi in Prishtina 92-49. American swingman Alexis Tucker (180-2001, college: FSU) notched 18 points and 7 rebounds (was perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line) to lead the effort and Nyla Jean supported her with 15 points and 7 rebounds. Bashkimi's coach Vladan Radovic felt very confident using 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Even 20 points and 5 rebounds by Klesta Shatri (179-2007) did not help to save the game for Prishtina. Bashkimi will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Prishtina will play on the road against Peja 03 to get more than just one victory in their record.
