Regular Season Round 16: Shumen - Akademik P. 78-90

Date: January 17, 2026
There was no surprise when 11th ranked Shumen (1-14) was defeated at home by ninth ranked Akademik (5-11) 90-78 on Saturday. Akademik looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international Nikolay Mihaylov (204-2000, agency: BIG) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 17 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists and the former international Vasil Bachev (195-1992, college: Cuesta JC) who added 20 points and 5 assists during the contest. Akademik P.'s coach Jordan Yankov used an eleven-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. At the losing side American swingman Jalen Barr (193, college: Flagler) responded with a double-double by scoring 13 points and 10 rebounds and guard Kostadin Lazarov (193-2000, agency: BIG) scored 19 points. Four Akademik and five Shumen players scored in double figures. Akademik maintains ninth position with 5-11 record. Shumen lost fourth consecutive game. They stay at the bottom place with 14 games lost. Akademik will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Shumen will play against Levski (#10) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
