It took overtime to beat Morocco 115–108: (83807)

It was a very close game between 2 of the tournament favorites.

Down by 9 points at the start of the 4th quarter, we managed to take the lead with 50 seconds left.
While we were leading by 2 points with 9 seconds left, the Moroccans forced overtime with an offensive rebound followed by a buzzer-beater.
Our players got the job done in OT to secure an interesting W in the race for a spot in the semifinals.
A slight advantage in rebounding and excellent FT shooting made the difference in this game.

MOTM: Moyo Mosili nearly recorded a triple-double with 28 points (9-17), 10 rebounds and 9 assists.

We will face Senegal next Monday.

We beat Senegal tonight 95-85: (83809)

Senegal put more energy into this game than we did, but it didn't change the outcome.

Our shooting wasn't optimal, but our solid defense and our opponents' numerous fouls allowed us to remain relatively calm.

MOTM: Vadiveloo Moshoeli finished with 20 points (7-17).

Special mention to our twin towers Motlatsi Maree (15 rebounds and 6 blocks) and Leabua Moloto (10 rebounds and 4 blocks).

Next game vs. Tunisia.

Tunisia beat us on Monday night: (83812)

The Tunisian coach used more enthusiasm, and with their home-court advantage, it was difficult to compete.

Some of our players weren't at their best this week either.

We were dominated on the boards and committed too many turnovers.

MOTM: Anuiyelewa Nthite with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.

In the standings, we remain tied for 1st place with Egypt (6W-2L) who lost in OT to Morocco, who narrowed the gap (5W-3L).

We'll have to bounce back in the next match against Algeria.

Last Monday, we lost 106-118 to Algeria after double overtime: (83815)

Once again, the opposing coach decided to put more into the game than us.

Our shooting accuracy was good, but we gave up too many rebounds and free throws.

MOTM: Anuiyelewa Nthite with 27 points (12-23), 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.

With Egypt's loss to Tunisia and Morocco's victory against Senegal, the standings are extremely tight, with 3 teams tied for 1st place (6W-3L).

We have already qualified for the semifinals. The result of the last game against Egypt next Monday will determine our final position.

We're entering the home stretch. So I'm counting on you to keep your players in top form!

Egypt beat us 83-77 on Monday night: (83817)

The game came down to the small details, particularly fouls and turnovers.
Both teams finished with fairly similar shooting percentages.

MOTM: Moyo Mosili with 25 points (12-22), 4 rebounds and 8 assists.

As expected, the final standings are very close:
1- Egypt 7W - 3L
2- Morocco 6W - 4L
3- South Africa 6W - 4L
4- Tunisia 5W - 5L
5- Algeria 5W - 5L
6- Senegal 1W - 9L

Here is the schedule for the semifinals, which promise to be highly competitive:
Egypt vs. Tunisia
Morocco vs. South Africa

The semifinals will take place on Friday.

Only Tunisia, as the tournament host, will have home-court advantage.

This season, our matches against Morocco have resulted in one win and one loss. We can expect a very close game.

I'm counting on all managers to keep the players in top form!

We beat Morocco 80-66 in the semifinals: (84123)

A strong start allowed us to quickly build a 10-point lead, which we more or less maintained until the end.

Defense was the deciding factor. Morocco has the best offense in the tournament.
Their lowest point total this season was 87. We held them to 66 points.

Hats off to our defensive captain Motlatsi Maree who led by example with 9 rebounds, 3 steals and 6 blocks!

MOTM: Moyo Mosili finished with 17 points (6-13) and 4 rebounds.

On Monday, we'll play in the final against Egypt who defeated Tunisia 88-74.

Thank you. We faced Egypt twice this season, with a record of one win and one loss. I expect it to be a close game.
