Power forward Marco Luchi (198-F/C-1992) put on an amazing game in the last round for Deportivo Norte de Armstrong, receiving a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 27.
The 33-year old player was the main contributor (20 points, nine rebounds and three assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat El Talar (#14, 4-8) 82-77. The game rather meaningless between the teams, which do not have any influence on top of the standings in Conferencia Sur. Dep Norte maintains the 17th position in their group in the Argentinian La Liga Argentina. Too late to salvage the team, which is currently ranked such low. They already lost 11 games and recorded just three victories. It was one of impressive evenings for Luchi as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Marco Luchi averages this season 7.8ppg and 5.3rpg.

The second best player in last round's games was young Cristian Amicucci (200-F/C-1985) of Independiente BBC de Santiago del Estero. Amicucci had a very good evening with 25 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Bad luck as Independiente was edged by the lower-ranked Riojana (#10, 6-7) 93-90. This loss caused Independiente to drop to 7th position in Conferencia Norte. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 8-8 record is not bad and everything may still change. Amicucci is well-known at Independiente and is a proven leader in his second season with the team. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.3ppg (#3). He also registered 11.6 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was forward Ignacio Alem (199-PF-2001) of Villa Mitre de Bahia Blanca (#15). Alem got into 30-points club by scoring exactly 30 points in the last round. He went also for twelve rebounds . Despite Alem's great performance the Villa Mitre lost 104-106 to the higher-ranked La Union (#3, 10-3). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Villa Mitre not to end season at such low position in Conferencia Sur, however are less than slim as they have already lost 8 games, recording just four victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Alem could try to bring Villa Mitre's a little bit higher in the standings. Alem has a very solid season. In 12 games in Argentina he scored 13.7ppg. He also has 4.8rpg and a FGP of 69.1%.
