LUB Round 6: L.Borges hand first loss to Goes

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most surprising game was the first loss of Goes (4-1) in Montevideo on Friday night. Visitors were defeated by eighth ranked L.Borges (3-3) 75-62. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Goes. They outrebounded Goes 43-29 including a 32-21 advantage in defensive rebounds. It was a good game for point guard Mauro Zubiaurre (189-1994) who led his team to a victory with 17 points and 8 rebounds. Forward Christian Pereira (194-1993) contributed with 17 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. Forward Ignacio Xavier (196-1999, agency: Pro Sports) replied with 14 points and 4 assists for Goes. Goes' coach Guillermo Narvarte rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. L.Borges moved-up to sixth place, which they share with Aguada and Penarol. Goes at the other side still keep top position with one game lost. They share it with Bigua. L.Borges will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Goes' supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Montevideo Olimpia.
Another interesting game was a derby match between two teams from Montevideo: Trouville (#6) and Urunday (#8). Urunday was smashed at home by 21 points 68-89 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. American forward Josh Price (205-1996, college: S.Indiana) had a double-double by scoring 23 points and 11 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and Tavrion Dawson chipped in 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists during the contest. The best for the losing side was American-Nigerian swingman Tanksley Efianayi (198-1994, college: UCF) with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Trouville (4-2) moved-up to third place, which they share with Malvin. Urunday at the other side dropped to the ninth position with three games lost. They share it with Defensor. Trouville will play against Urupan (#12) at home in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Urunday's supporters look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Montevideo to the arena Aguada.
Another interesting game was again a derby between two local teams from Montevideo: Malvin (#4) and Aguada (#5). Malvin (4-2) won against visiting Aguada (3-3) 73-68. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Aguada. Anthony Hilliard notched 23 points and 9 rebounds to lead the effort. Even 7 points and 12 rebounds by Eloy Vargas did not help to save the game for Aguada. Aguada's coach Leandro Ramella tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Malvin moved-up to third place, which they share with Trouville. Loser Aguada dropped to the sixth position with three games lost. They share it with L.Borges and Penarol. Malvin's supporters look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Montevideo to the arena Bigua.
