Libobasquet Round 5 (Regular Season): Tarija Basquet edge Univ.Sucre by two points

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most exciting game of round 5 in the Libobasquet took place in Sucre. This derby game ended with only two-point home defeat of 7th ranked Univ.Sucre (2-3) to second ranked Tarija Basquet (5-1) 90-88 on Wednesday evening. Guest team only slightly avoided a big embarassment. Tarija Basquet have a solid series of four victories in a row. They maintain second place with 5-1 record having just one point less than leader CAN Potosi. Univ.Sucre at the other side dropped to the fifth position with three games lost. They share it with CAN Oruro and Kinwa. Tarija Basquet are looking forward to face Saracho (#8) in Oruro in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Univ.Sucre will play on the road against Pichincha and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Another exciting game was a derby match between two teams from Oruro: Saracho (#5) and CAN Oruro (#5). Saracho (2-4) won against visiting CAN Oruro (2-3) 102-96. Despite that victory Saracho went down to eighth position due to points difference. CAN Oruro at the other side keeps the fifth place with three games lost. They share the position with Kinwa and Univ.Sucre. Saracho will play against league's second-placed Tarija Basquet in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. CAN Oruro will play against the league's leader CAN Potosi and will have a slim chance for a victory.
