They outrebounded Cafeteros 52-30 including a 21-10 advantage in offensive rebounds. 26 personal fouls committed by Cafeteros helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of international forward Andres Ibarguen (200-1996, college: Angelo St., agency: Helping Ballers) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 13 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists and American Dominique Morrison (198-1989, college: ORU, agency: Haylett Sports) who added 21 points and 6 rebounds (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field) during the contest.
