Muslim Basketball

Undefeated regular season. Great accomplishment for this team, no one knew who they were before the season started and they’ve certainly left their mark now. They won a tight game against Beirut. This team is capable of going to the finals if their scoring stays hot; they lead the league in points per game. They take on Cairo who they should be able to easily handle next week.

These guys have also been scary good with their offense.  Farzad Messag put up another big game and lead the way with 25. This team has a chance of finishing the season undefeated next week when they take on a soaring Beirut squad who is physically bigger than them. They’ll need to find an answer for Beirut’s post play if they want to grab another win and head into the playoffs 4-0.

This team might have been the quietest entering the season but are now the loudest with everyone wondering how this new squad is putting it all together. They are one of two teams that remain undefeated and had an impressive win against a dangerous Jakarta squad. They did blow a huge lead in the second half which gets you thinking but in the end they were able to hang on led by Farzad Messag’s 23&7. Next week they play a Suba squad that is coming off a huge blowout loss, they can be looking at a 3-0 start.

When you have 4 players scoring in double digits you know you’re doing something right. Great win for this team but a tough matchup awaits them next week against Jakarta. If they can pull that win off everyone better watch out because this team is starting to look scary.

A lot of newbies on this team and another relatively young squad. Not much to base them off of but if history means anything look for Sami Shaban to bring his experience to the table and help lead this group of youngsters throughout the season. Too hard to tell now what this team has to offer so for now we’ll have to wait and see.
