Round 11: San Jose defeat Tigrillos

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of Colombian Tigrillos (0-1) in Medellin on Saturday night. Hosts were rolled over by Paraguayan San Jose (2-0) 124-62. San Jose dominated down low during the game scoring 72 of its points in the paint compared to Tigrillos' 30 and made 22-of-28 free shots (78.6 percent) during the game. San Jose forced 20 Tigrillos turnovers and outrebounded them 50-29 including a 36-18 advantage in defensive rebounds. It was a great shooting night for San Jose especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 55.6 percentage. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 26 assists comparing to just 12 passes made by Tigrillos' players. American power forward Jeremiah Wood (200-1985, agency: Inception Sports) orchestrated the victory by scoring 14 points and 8 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field). Argentinian forward Franco Benitez (199-1994) contributed with 15 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. San Jose's coach felt very confident that he used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Argentinian Patricio Pinero (195-1995) answered with 25 points and 5 rebounds for Tigrillos. Defending Paraguayan champion maintains first place with 2-0 record. Tigrillos at the other side still closes the standings with one game lost. They share the position with UniFacisa. San Jose are looking forward to face UNIFACISA (#4) in Paraiba in the next round. Tigrillos will play on the road against UNIFACISA in Paraiba and hope to get finally their first victory.
One of the most interesting games of round 11 was a derby match between two teams from Brazil. The game took place in Paraiba where fourth ranked Sao Paulo won against host UNIFACISA (0-1) 65-61. It was a great evening for American power forward Tyrone Curnell (203-1988, college: Valdosta St.) who led his team to a victory scoring 24 points and 7 rebounds. Cordero Bennett helped adding 17 points. Andre Bresolin (195-1987) responded with 15 points and 4 assists. UNIFACISA's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Sao Paulo (1-1) left bottom position moving up to second place. UNIFACISA at the other side still closes the standings with one game lost. They share the position with Tigrillos. Sao Paulo will play against Tigrillos (#3) in Medellin in the next round, which may be the game of the day.
