Muslim Basketball

Nothing new to say here, they can score all over the court, guard 1-5 with great fluidity and their chemistry seems to go up week after week. That being said Medina did hold them for a while, going on a 12-0 run during the last 5 minutes of the first half. But still, they stay utop, undefeated.

Finally in the win column. 63 points today, great percentages all over, high efficiency (41% FG, 35% 3P, seriously impressive), and contributions all over the place. 5, I repeat 5 players scoring 10 or more points today. This is exactly what this team needed to propel themselves as the season hits the midway point. On paper this team is scary. A win next week against Al-Andalus, would shake things up in a massive way.

Tough loss to the #1 seeded Al-Andalus today.The scoring slowed down in the second half after a great comeback in the first. Tahir Abouelleil fouled out 10 minutes in which didn't help at all. This team is still living and dying by their defense, if they can put together some continuity on offense, they WILL see more wins coming their way. However, next week they’ll be playing without 2 key players, including leading scorer (13.3 PPG) Saad Khurshid, and will need to find scoring elsewhere.

The only winless team left in the league. It really still comes down to a numbers game here, as they played today with 6 active players. They have an opportunity, next week, against Medina (without some key players) to steal a big win, and they need it badly. The loss this week was actually fairly close, only a 9 point difference, however a loss is a loss, and they stay, at #4.
