Aytac put on a show against a very tough Mombasa squad. This was a very big win for Suba. Their defense is top notch, and they can run. Huge game next week for the top of the standings when they play a determined Baghdad team. Back to back championships? Is Suba the new Dhaka?

Suba is still the same powerhouse team they were last season. At 7-1, they are sitting pretty at the top of the standings, but the strength of schedule gives Palermo the edge in the power rankings. They finish the season against Mombasa and Baghdad. A loss to either team can shake up the seeding going into the playoffs big time.

You could bet anything that Suba was not losing two straight, no matter who their opponent was. An extremely hindered Medina gave them a good fight, but Suba was just too overwhelming for them.

They keep rolling.

You look at this team and say eh, not really dominant, but boy do they got the job done. 15 straight wins now for this group, average margin of victory is ~8 points. When you end up with more points than the other team as consistently as Suba does, who cares how much you win by. They take on Lagos in what will be the most boring game of the week, final score 41-33. Nobody will have more than 12 points, but Suba will enter week 3 undefeated. By no means is it pretty, but if it works, don’t fix it.

The champs! If they plan on holding teams to less than 40 points again, watch out. Ayem, Aytac, and Sasa are three of the best and bring it on both sides of the floor for forty minutes. Let’s see if they get hit with the championship hangover. With this group though, I doubt it – look for them to pickup exactly where they left off.
