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.

Unfortunately, we lost the African championship final against Egypt 75-90: (84202)

I'm obviously disappointed, because I don't think we were that far from the gold medal.
Our poor shooting from the field surprised me and was the main reason for the loss.

There are, however, reasons to be optimistic about the coming seasons.
The core of the team is relatively young and will continue to improve.
Most of the managers are dedicated and do an excellent job of training the players.
There are also some promising prospects who should knock on the door in a few seasons if they are properly trained.

Season 72:

We are going to play the World Cup.
It's going to be tough, as usual, but I'll do my best to rack up a few wins.

In the coming days, I will sort out and identify all the South African players likely to join the NT sooner or later.

To kick off the season, the defense captain Motlatsi Maree decided to invite the whole team to play a scrimmage in Canada, next Monday.

If you need advice during the season, my mailbox is always open.

Ooh, it’s going to be nice to be in the World Cup and it’ll be interesting to see how Maree and SA team fare vs the Canadian NT.

The game was played in your arena in Canada, but against Ireland, and we won by a wide margin, 115-73: (84270)

I must admit that I was expecting stronger opposition.
I tried a few new things, but I'm not sure I can draw many conclusions from them.

Our strong shooting made things easier: 45-86, including 9-17 from 3-point range.
We put on a great defensive performance and dominated the boards.

MOTM: Anuiyelewa Nthite with 25 points (10-20) and 6 rebounds in 24 minutes.

The real competition will begin next week and that will be a whole different story!

We lost our 1st World Championship game 94-116 against the USA: (84325)

Despite the final score difference, I'm not so unhappy with the result.

We turned the ball over too much and our defense struggled against their outside shooters.

The positives were our shooting efficiency (41-95) and our dominance on the boards (+9 rebounds).

I chose to use position switches on offense, and it turned out to be pretty interesting.

MOTM: Tyumzashe Saruchera filled up the stat sheet with 21 points (9-17), 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

The next opponent will be Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bosnia beat us 122-109 tonight: (84328)

Our excellent 3-point shooting (16-35, .457) wasn't enough to overcome Bosnia's dominance in the paint: 55 rebounds to 36 and a high 2-point percentage. We also committed more turnovers than our opponent.

MOTM: Moyo Mosili finished with 34 points (11-23, including 5-11 from 3-point range), 2 rebounds and 5 assists.

Next Monday, we will face Spain, 3rd in the world ranking.
