Regular Season Round 18: Besiktas - Merkezefendi 102-77

Date: February 8, 2025
There was no surprise in Istanbul where 16th ranked Merkezefendi (3-15) was crushed by fourth ranked Besiktas (13-5) 102-77 on Saturday. Besiktas looked well-organized offensively handing out 32 assists comparing to just 19 passes made by Merkezefendi's players. International swingman Yigit Arslan (198-1996) scored 17 points to lead the charge for the winners and Irish-Canadian power forward Conor Morgan (206-1994, college: UBC) chipped in 13 points and 5 rebounds during the contest. Besiktas' coach Dusan Alimpijevic felt very confident that he used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The best for the losing side was American Tyler Cook (206-1997, college: Iowa) with 19 points (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) and the former international center Egemen Guven (210-1996) scored 12 points and 9 rebounds. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Besiktas have a solid four-game winning streak. They moved-up to third place, which they share with Tofas. Loser Merkezefendi stay at the bottom position with 15 games lost. Besiktas will meet Pinar Karsiyaka (#9) in the next round where they are favorite. Merkezefendi will play against Galatasaray (#5) and hope to secure a win.
