Big Win

We started the regular season tonight with a big victory over a strong Efes Pilsen team. The game was at home and the atmosphere a fun one. Final score Banvit 105 Efes 91.

Just so everyone understands, Efes Pilsen is not only one of the strongest teams in our league, but one of the strongest teams in all of Europe. So it was naturally a big win for us. We controlled the entire game. We really played well as a team. I ended up with 35 pts and 10 assists. One of my better nights, but still plenty of room for improvement. I am very thankful though and hopeful it is just the start of a great regular season.

This coming Tuesday, we play the second game against the Romania team. Essentially, we play one game at their place and another at our place. Whoever scores the most total points in the 2 games moves onto the next round. Considering we won the game away, we need to take care of business and play well Tuesday night. Then next weekend we are away in Konya for another tough game.

Thankful for the game,
Joe
