predictions based on all players showing up -

9am
1 Mombasa vs 8 Amman
Amman started the season like they were easily going to run the league. Not sure what happened but they are not the same team. Farhad hasnt aged and his supporting cast is helping win games. Pete Brown and Mombasa are gelling. This might be their year to get back on track with winning chips. Mombasa wins here in easy fashion.

10am
3 Sarajevo vs 6 Timbuktu
Two solid teams here. Aymens hand is broken? Hes still playing? Sarajevo has guards that can all shoot. Sal Rahin - dont let that boy open. Timbuktu got guards too. They got a short/average/tall guard. This game will come down to how Aymen can play. Aymen at 85% will win this game. Anything less, Timbuktu moving on.

11am
12 Kazan vs 20 Medina
Medina = got some guys who love defense, got a guy taller than the empire state building, got a guy who hits 3s. They been bullying teams on defense. This week they will bully Pat, but Pat will still score, and Kazan will win this game in another close match-up.

12pm
15 Tripoli vs 23 Baghdad
Tripoli gonna win by 20+.
