Coincidentally all visitors won their games. Here is the last round review presented by ESL.
The most interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Asuncion: Olimpia (#1) and San Jose (#2). San Jose was smashed at home by 16 points 84-100 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. It ended at the same time the nine-game winning streak of San Jose. Undefeated Olimpia (18-0) have an impressive 18-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains first position with a perfect record of 18 victories in a row. San Jose at the other side keeps the second place with two games lost. Campo Alto (#5) was upset in by eighth ranked Felix Perez 81-65. Felix Perez (4-12) moved-up to seventh place. Campo Alto at the other side keeps the fifth position with ten games lost. Bottom-ranked Dep.Internac. (0-17) is still winless. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their 17th consecutive match to third ranked Libertad (13-4) 84-65 on Friday evening. Libertad have an impressive six-game winning streak. They maintain third position with 13-4 record having just thirteen point less than leader Olimpia. Loser Dep.Internac. still closes the standings. The game in Luque was also worth to mention about. Fourth ranked Sol de America (9-7) played at the court of 6th ranked Luqueno (6-11). Sol de America managed to secure a 6-point victory 78-72. Sol de America maintains fourth position with 9-7 record. Luqueno at the other side keeps the sixth place with 11 games lost.

The Guyana national senior men's basketball team's campaign in the International Basketball Federation's (FIBA) Americup qualifiers bounced off to a bad start last evening in Tunja, Colombia, where they lost their first round robin match to Paraguay 93-53. The Guyanese have been grouped in Pool B of the qualifiers, with the top two teams advancing to the final round of qualification following the completion of round robin play, alongside the hosts, Paraguay and Colombia. In the match last evening at the Tunja Sportshall, Paraguay raced to a healthy lead and it wasn't until the second quarter that Guyana scored their second point of the game, a free throw by Yannick Tappin which took the score to 27-02. Bruno Zanotti (198-SF-82, college: Merrimack) top scored for the Paraguayans with 15 points which included two three-pointers while Ramon Sanchez (194-F-91) assisted with 12. For Guyana, Anthony Moe (206-F/C-90, college: Millersville) led with 13 points but only hit four from 11 attempted field goals. Kevon Wiggins (182-PG-00) (eight points) was the main culprit with an atrocious record of three scored field goals from 18 attempts. Guyana play Colombia tonight at 20:00hrs local time before their final clash against Bolivia on Sunday at 16:30hrs, both matchups they will need to win to secure qualification to the next round of qualification for the FIBA Americas Cup. Belize are hosting Pool A of the pre-qualifiers, a dangerous group which Guyana were lucky to avoid after winning the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) Championship last June. Pool A will be competed simultaneously with Pool B, and consists of Antigua, Bahamas, Belize, and Cuba. Courtesy of: kaieteurnewsonline.com
