S16 - SBBL League - Three in a row : Lycans BB trampled Shwe Toe Ngal 107-86 for 3 straight W.

It's definitely immediate effect, the FXS remedy.

Ooi Tse Cheng and veteran Mike Bertero led Lycans BB to an early burst, then hold off the STN at their homecourt Golden Beach Arena with 107-86 wins. The STN were showing some urgence a while in 3rd, but the Lycans put it away again on the 4th.

Ooi led the team with 30pts and 7asts, Bertero dropped 28pts & 10rebs. FXS, still on rehab more, only played 19 minutes but shot 6/7 for 13pts. "We know he is healthy now," said Alex Too, Lycans GM, about FXS condition, "However, he is still taking baby steps progress. We won't urged him to be his old self after 3 weeks of absence."

Jakub Ejankowski led STN with 25pts and 16rebs, Celso Valente has 23pts. Ex-Lycans player, Mohd Azley bin Salim, has 12pts & 8rebs.

Another two powerhouses were dropped last night, with Eric United fell short to Cheesecake 95-103, and Whampoa gaveaway last night game to prepare for cup games, losing to Pekanbaru Jaguars 59-119.

Eric United, who just dealt Ace Card Milan Vukic, looked less sharper on their Low Post tactic, combined with Cheesecakes monsters bigman defender.

Meanwhile Shohoku Backers, finally abel to break away the tight game with their secondary lineups, escaped past Crystal Chambers Cavaliers 105-99. Cataldo Momente led with 31pts and 12rebs. Doron Twily 27pts & 14rebs. NT players Yip Kum Jian led CCC with 23pts.

Will watch the replay tonite (without seeing the final boxscore at first)

S16 - SGP Tournament - Sweet 16 : Shohoku Backers ended Whampoa All-Stars three-peat with 92-79

For one last quarter, the new public enemy was almost born for Shohoku Stadium crowds.

Polish Bomber Konrad Krassowski was the marksman everywhere at 4th quarter, but his 14pts during that period was not enough to bring Whampoa for their fourth Championship, as they have to surrender to the home team and Tournament Rival Shohoku Backers 79-92.

Shohoku Backers, trailed 40-44 at halfime, use a strong third quarter to deliver the most damage ever against Whampoa, connected everywhere from the field and long ranges. Sebastian Darras scored 11pts during that period, after shot awfully 1/12 FG during 1st half.

It was almost all one sided game, as the Backers comfortably led by 15pts with 7minutes left at 4th, but Krassowski heating up again. Paired with Omri Arnon, they led a 19-5 flurry to bring Whampoa closer 79-84. But time is running out, they have to foul their opponents. Shohoku was able to make the most of Free Throws, and ended the game at 92-79.

Meanwhile at Tribuana Arena, the crowds were almost shocked once again as the home team Pekanbaru Jaguars were outscored 9-19 at the 1st quarter, a signal that they might tank again on Tournament games. But Tommy Kupila, the new recruited player by Jaguars, restore the life up for Jaguars for the rest of the game. Teaming up with Sorin Niculae and Huo Xiang Song, Jaguars outscored WWS 75-48, ended the game with 84-67. Kupila led the team with 26pts, Niculae and HXS scored 25. Thierry Rault led WWS with 14pts.

The latest victory made the Pekanbaru Jaguars Advanced to the Tournament Quarter Finals for the first time on their history.

Key Matches Next week :
SLZH (rank 18) @ Pekanbaru Jaguars (rank 4). Let's forgot the ranks. A visit to Chai Chee arena for National TV broadcasted game, then played Shohoku Backers at next game should be enough to dry out the Jaguars. Will they able to hold off SLZH, the ex SBBL and now perhaps the strongest Div II team?

Haha, ben, it's ok, my side also having bad schedule. Aw, bad draw 2night, first time enter 5th round n quarter final for Singapore cup. Wa kinda happy when I saw the result but when team drawing came in, kinda sad? Hoping can win u by underdog tag. Haha. Perhaps I'm nt the strongest in div ll, look at slinger, they r a strong team, while I alr hav losing game in league 2

Wow, i guess Shohoku Backers will now be aiming for the league and cup doubles..

Congrats to all 1/4 finalists ;P

As much as I hope to get both, it wont be easy.

Nice game, Whampoa!! Lets match up again in our league games.

S16 - SBBL League - Pekanbaru Jaguars blew Shohoku Backers 98-63, but lost Petrus Alexandersson to injury.

It's definitely personal, especially for Huo Xiang Song, who missed the game winning shot on last season Playoff Finale.

HXS scored 21pts, 16rebs and 3asts to led Jaguars broke past Backers 98-63. Jaguars showed where they were last season, posing stingy man to man defense to held Shohoku Backers only 4 points at 1st quarter. But they hit an immediate scare as Petrus Alexandersson had to left court after a hard foul from Cataldo Momente. Losing their MVP, it won't stop the Jaguars intensity, instead they keep leading on the game, entering the 4th with 80-43 score, the most lopsided lead.

Sorin Niculae scored 17pts and 4asts, Teng Jin Ming 15pts, Debrier and Skrebo has 13 and 12. Petrus-A only played 16minutes before he went down. MRI scanned a torn ligament and he had to rest for at least 2 weeks. With their key player out, it could hurt Jaguars chance to make a run on Tournament Championship as they are now sitting on the big 16.

On the other game, NT Yip Kum Jian big 3pointer brought CCC edge past Eric United 110-109. That big shot comes after Eric's Mauras Dušauskas broke tie to give Eric 109-107 lead. With the loss and Singapore Showstoppers win over STN 124-113, both Eric and SS were tied on the first place of Big 8 with 9-3 W/L record.

At Wobble arena, Yeo Teck Seng 44pts led the Lycans to defeat the host Bobblehead 105-88. Bobblehead were closing though between 3rd and 4th quarter, but Mike Bertero hit some key jumpshots to bring Lycans ahead, and weren't threatened anymore.

Fang Shuang Xiang has his first stong game with 26pts & 16rebs. Bertero has 21pts.

Not on purpose.. But on the evil side, I hope to face you now in tournament.. Haha
