Second Stage Round 7: Vilpas - Karhubasket 94-71

Date: March 7, 2026
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Salo. First ranked Vilpas faced their biggest opponent Karhubasket. Host Vilpas (21-8) smashed guests from Kauhajoki (19-10) 94-71. Worth to mention a great performance of Nigerian-American forward ZeRik Onyema (206-2002, college: Texas) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 19 points and 11 rebounds. American guard Jack Forrest (196-2000, college: Bucknell, agency: Octagon Europe) contributed with 22 points and 5 rebounds for the winners. Five Vilpas players scored in double figures. Vilpas' coach Jussi Savolainen felt very confident that he used 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American-Nigerian power forward Ike Nweke (201-2000, college: Quinnipiac) answered with a double-double by scoring 18 points and 15 rebounds and American guard Ty Berry (190-2001, college: Northwestern) added 13 points and 6 rebounds in the effort for Karhubasket. Vilpas maintains first place with 21-8 record. Karhubasket lost third consecutive game. They keep the second position with ten games lost. Vilpas will play against Honka (#5) in Espoo in the next round. Karhubasket will play at home against Korihait and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
