BSN Round 1 of Regular Season

The Regular Season in BSN just started. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

First defeat of Santeros against Indios 85-65 was the most important game of the last round. Worth to mention a great performance of American Milton Doyle (193-1993, college: Loyola, IL) who helped to win the game recording 21 points and 5 assists. The former international point guard Jorge Pacheco (188-1998, college: Liberty, agency: Octagon Europe) contributed with 15 points and 5 assists for the winners. Serbian-American power forward Nick Rakocevic (211-1997, college: USC, agency: Slash Sports) answered with 13 points and 6 rebounds for Aguada. Santeros will play next round against strong Bayamon trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Indios will try to continue on its current victory against Ponce in Juana Diaz.
Piratas defeated Criollos in Quebradillas 91-85. Panamanian-Mexican center Joshua Ibarra (211-1995, college: HCU) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 21 points and 18 rebounds for the winners and Emmanuel Mudiay chipped in 22 points. At the losing side Panamanian-American center Akil Mitchell (206-1992, college: Virginia) responded with a double-double by scoring 15 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists. Criollos' coach rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Criollos will play next round against strong Santurce trying to get back on the winning streak. Piratas will try to continue on its current victory against Arecibo on the road.
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Atleticos in San German on Sunday night. Hosts were edged by Mets 81-80. Ismael Romero nailed a double-double by scoring 16 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists for the winning side. Davon Jefferson came up with a double-double by scoring 16 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists (on 8-of-9 shooting from the field) for San German in the defeat. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Mets will meet at home Manati in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Atleticos will play against Carolina and it may be a tough game between close rivals.

Other games in round 1 were not that significant. Manati beat Caguas on the road 99-94. Santurce won against Arecibo on its own court 72-66. Carolina lost to Guaynabo in a road game 89-106. Bayamon managed to beat Mayaguez at home 86-71.
The most impressive performance of 1st round was 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists by Danilo Gallinari of Bayamon.
