Regular Season Round 5: Manisa - Merkezefendi 88-79

Date: October 25, 2025
There was a surprise result when thirteenth ranked Manisa (2-3) beat at home higher ranked Merkezefendi (2-3) 88-79 on Saturday. Manisa made 32-of-37 free shots (86.5 percent) during the game, while Merkezefendi only scored fifteen points from the stripe. The best player for the winners was American guard Scoochie Smith (191-1994, college: Dayton) who scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. His fellow American import center Jayce Johnson (213-1997, college: Marquette) chipped in 9 points and 12 rebounds. Belgian Hans Vanwijn (207-1995) produced 16 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists and American guard Sam Griffin (192-2001, college: Wyoming) added 16 points and 5 assists respectively for the guests. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Merkezefendi's coach Zafer Aktas rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Manisa moved-up to seventh place, which they share with 6 other teams including defeated Merkezefendi. Manisa will meet league's leader Anadolu Efes in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Merkezefendi will play against the league's second-placed Besiktas (#2) and will have a slim chance for a victory.
