Sana’a failed to end the season .500. They didn’t seem to have an answer for Amir from behind the arc. Colin & Clayton will definitely have their hands full first round, as they take on the defending champs, Tripoli. They better hope Muj doesn’t show up if they want a shot at moving on.

Sana’a has now lost 4 of the last 5 games, and they have a smoking hot Fez squad next week. Clayton and Colin have to pick it up if they want to be competitive in the playoffs.

Disappointing loss to a team that has been on the rise. They were coming off a huge win against Dhaka, so playing Suba should have been a give me game. Unfortunately they weren’t able to come out with the win, and find themselves back on the lower half of the rankings. Clayton has to shoot better than 3-12 to give his team a shot at winning big games.

Huge win for Sana’a! No standout performance, but they all worked together to grab a very tough W against Dhaka. If somehow they can beat Kabul in 2 weeks, Sana’a can easily crack the top 10. They are the team nobody is talking about, and can upset someone in the playoffs.

Clayton and team were not able to stop the undefeated Sarajevo squad. Don’t worry; nobody else was able to do it either. Even after the loss, Sana’a is still one of the best scoring (6th) and rebounding (2nd) teams in the league.

This is a very good all-around team, but they are missing the go-to guy. Their scoring is very spread out, which is good, but when the game is on the line, who do you want shooting the ball? Who do you want with the ball in their hands? Clayton? Colin? Chris? I don’t know if they know, but they need to pick a C.

Another underrated team waiting for a challenge. Good thing the next 3 games they play Timbuktu, Sarajevo, and Dhaka. If they win 2 out of the 3 games, they are an official contender in my book.

Came up short against an underrated Jakarta squad. Clayton and Colin combined for 47. I said I would be sold if they beat Jakarta. They didn’t. Still waiting for that convincing win against a top team.

An all-around great team win from Umar, Saad, and the rookies. Their next game is against a team that might be right around their skill level. If they beat Jakarta, I am sold.

All around great team win. Contributors all around. Unfortunately, they do not get to play Mecca every week. Next week will be their real test when they face off against AMP and team.

Mostly new players.
