Regular Season Round 23: Darussafaka - Merkezefendi 82-85

Date: March 29, 2025
There was a small surprise in Istanbul where fifteenth ranked Merkezefendi (7-16) edged 13th ranked Darussafaka Lassa (7-16) 85-82 on Saturday. Merkezefendi made 21-of-27 free shots (77.8 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. The best player for the winners was Belgian forward Vrenz Bleijenbergh (208-2000) who scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks. The former international center Egemen Guven (210-1996) chipped in 16 points (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field). American swingman Omari Moore (198-2000, college: SJSU) produced a double-double by scoring 16 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists and the other American import forward Tres Tinkle (203-1996, college: Oregon St., agency: Pensack Sports) added 17 points and 12 rebounds respectively for the hosts. Five Merkezefendi and four Darussafaka players scored in double figures. Both coaches tested many bench players in such tough game. Merkezefendi moved-up to thirteenth place, which they share with Darussafaka and Manisa. Darussafaka lost their third game in a row. Merkezefendi will meet higher ranked Petkim (#12) in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Darussafaka will play against Pinar Karsiyaka and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
