Muslim Basketball

Played with 4 guys and won big. Their guys put up some great numbers too individually. Abdullah Aqrabawi led the way with a huge 28 &13 game. Next week they take on a Granada squad that they beat in week 2. If their offense is as hot as it was today their worries can go away.

They were making their shots on offense but couldn’t get enough stops on defense to win this game. Mecca was a tough matchup but their defense needed to be a little more agressive this week for sure. Next week they take on an 0-3 Cairdo squad that’s really been struggling offensively, if they can just work harder on defense they should win this one and gain some confidence back heading into the playoffs.

Great way to comeback after a tough loss last week. They grinded out a win led by Kareem Elsammak’s 17. This was the kind of win they needed to gain their confidence back headed into their toughest matchup of the season against an undefeated Mecca squad. If they don’t find a way to stop Mecca’s offense they can be looking into a 1-2 hole.

Stuck with Mombasa throughout the game but just couldn’t keep it up as Mombasa took over in the second half. Really poor FG shooting percentage from this team and they cannot continue to shoot that low or they become an afterthought in this league. Next week’s matchup against Granada is a tough one but this team has seen better days.

This team seems to have one of the toughest schedules this season. The addition of Ameed Awadeh who guested for this team a few times will definitely give them a much needed boost on offense and defense. This team is two years removed from a championship and are looking to make themselves relevant again after a disappointing last season. A lot of speed and experience on this team but they did lose a few role players. If the new guys can fill in and help improve this team’s offense which was among the worst in the league statistically, I can see them making some noise in the playoffs.
