Even 18 points and 4 assists by American-Nigerian forward Gus Okafor (201-1999, college: Wichita St.) did not help to save the game for Newcastle E.. Canadian Cole Long (201-1997, college: Detroit) added 13 points and 6 rebounds for lost side. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Newcastle Eagles' coach tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Manchester moved-up to third place. Newcastle E. lost fourth consecutive game.
