Power Ranking Trend

Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 5 4-1 3

QUADRUPLE DOUBLE?? Jay Mustafa finished with 20-11-13-10 steals in a dominant win. Not much else to take away against a team without their stars that started the game with 4 players. Areeha handled business as they should. They’ll look to continue their strong season so far.
Week 4 3-1 3

Singer hit huge shots for Areeha, including 3s to break the zone and almost bringing them back at the end. Long term, though, it’s hard to see him taking more than double the next highest number of shots as the winning formula. Defense was a bigger issue, losing Andrew in transition and helping off Sal. Overall, they played well against a good team and fell short.
Week 3 3-0 1

No Mahrooz, no problem. Areeha handled business without their star player. Not the most efficient offensive showing but this team can win in multiple ways. Great energy from Singer throughout the game and Jay chipping in 5 steals which has become insanely normal. Another efficient game from Ali Suiafan, who’s having a good season
Week 2 2-0 1

Accounting for both offense and defense, this is the most complete team in the league so far. Looking at the schedule, this is the hardest test their offense will face and they passed, led by Ali Suiafan with 16 on 50% shooting. A Singer 3 and Jay Mustafa game winner sealed it in 2OT.
Week 1 1-0 1

Areeha’s offense was powered by Ali Suiafan’s efficient 19-point outing and Mahrooz Qaderi’s 16 points, helping the team shoot a solid 46% from the field. Despite struggling from the free-throw line and committing 10 turnovers, their balanced scoring and 10 made threes kept them in control throughout the game. Omar Singer and Bilal Alamrany added key perimeter buckets to round out a strong offensive performance.
