Got a free win vs Timbuktu who forfeited. Maybe they were scared of playing #1.

Tripoli has been staying hot. Muj dropped 32 while Paul had 15 pts and 17 rebs.

Baghdad looked very sloppy vs Jerusalem who only had 4 guys the entire game! Jerusalem led for most of the game (sometimes by even double digits). The final couple minutes was a let-down by Jerusalem more than a comeback by Baghdad.

Forfeiting is no fun for either team. 

Mo Abdelhadi had a crazy game (37 pts, 21 rebs) but it wasn't enough to beat Tripoli. Andre shooting 1-16 did not help. Medina hasn't won a game yet, but they still have top-tier talent.

The new kids on the block are HOTTT right now. They keep climbing the rankings and have another shot of moving up vs Baghdad this week. Hector and Nathan leading the way.

Had a bye week.

Big O showed up for his first game and made a big impact with a double double. They have been missing their spark Moose the past 2 games. They are a different team with Moose in the mix. 

With 4 guys, they led Baghdad for about 38 minutes. I thought they'd close it out, but some bad decisions, turnovers, and missed shots in the last 2 minutes cost them this game. But hey, they made the game interesting!
