After three heavy defeats, SA snaps the row of losses against Senegal with a great 117-114 victory with same attitude against a candidate to medals.

It was a very long match, ended after one OT. Most of time the gap was 4 points or less. SA entered the last 2 minutes of both halves with few points of advantage. Several three pointers (12/27) kept Senegal alive despite trailing by 5 while Q4 was ending. A bold start in OT gave SA an initial advantage of 6 points, that Senegal tried to close with three pointers. Game was decided by precision at FTs, with Mokitimi closing his MVP game, with final two. +13 RBs turned the match toward us, with a great contribution by Mazibuko.

It's a great start and, despite evaluation that are influenced by OT, it's a precious W against a team expected to run till the end.

The manager of Mosheua followed my indication, making him playing less than 144 minutes: only 142 this week.... Second warning I. French this time.

If Mosheua has now two caps, one is assigned to Mazibuko (109) and Hlomelang (inexplicable 1 minute....)

We did it AGAIN! 2-1 is SA record after three matches against Misr, Senegal and Ghana, probably the top three contenders (so now we can loose against the others)

Tactics could have been better, although "external" should mean "external"... However, Ghana adjusted offense and scored 42/98 vs our impressive 47/84, combined with almost perfect 21/23 FTs. Great GS made a lot of difference, as well as "perfect boy" Motihala, MVP without any doubt for his 24 pts, 9/9 FGs, 6/6 FTs, 6 RBs, 6 assists and 200k Ndao fouled out.

Last time we defeated Ghana was in SF in S19, ages ago.

So far, we did nothing but captured 2 good wins. A good start.

whoops I always confuse the two

now a big match against al Maghrib, that own court advantage - that's the only concern I have plus some open question about tactics.

Looking at other teams:
Misr is leading as expected, 3-0 and counting. Al Maghrib is there with same record having defeated Al Jazair, Nigeria and Tounes.
We are amidst a tough battle at 2-1 with Senegal and Ghana (we defeated both, they have to play against each other).
0-3 for Nigeria, Tounes and unexpected Al Jazair, that is spending poorly PICs but accumulated some TS.

Run is just at the beginning.

A non-trivial match against home-court Al Maghrib.

Two risks taken, one to play bold also looking at perspective, the other as I am still unsure about one thing I will further check.
