The other American import guard Max Jones (193-2002, college: Kansas St.) chipped in 21 points. Manchester's coach Matthew Otten used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. American guard Ray-Sean Taylor (185, college: SIUE) produced 19 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists and American-Nigerian forward Gus Okafor (201-1999, college: Wichita St.) added 17 points respectively for the hosts. Four Manchester and five Newcastle E. players scored in double figures.
