Regular Season Round 24: Shumen - Botev 77-83

Date: March 22, 2026
Very predictable result when fifth ranked Botev (12-11) defeated on the road bottom-ranked Shumen (3-20) 83-77. The winners were led by international guard Georgi Gerganov (192-2003) who scored that evening 22 points and 7 assists and American power forward Courtney Alexander (203-1997, college: Tenn Tech) supported him with 22 points and 9 rebounds. Even a double-double of 16 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists by American swingman Jalen Barr (193, college: Flagler) did not help to save the game for Shumen. His fellow American import center Michael Marsh (208-1999, college: OK State) added 20 points and 8 rebounds. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Newly promoted Botev maintains fifth position with 12-11 record, which they share with Spartak Pleven. Shumen lost fourth consecutive game. They dropped to the bottom. They share the position with Levski. Botev will play against Akademik (#9) in Plovdiv in the next round. Shumen will play at home against the league's second-placed Rilski and hopes to get back on the winning track.
