Regular Season Round 20: Union SF - Instituto 80-87

Date: December 17, 2025
Not a big story in a game in Santa Fe where 15th ranked Union (5-9) was defeated by seventh ranked Instituto (9-8) 87-80 on Wednesday. Instituto dominated down low during the game scoring 38 of its points in the paint compared to Union SF's 18. Strangely Union outrebounded Instituto 45-32 including 37 on the defensive glass. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists comparing to just 7 passes made by Union's players. The best player for the winners was the former international Tomas Monacchi (198-1997) who scored 20 points and 7 rebounds. Guard Nicolas Copello (193-1992) chipped in 14 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Naturalized Italian Federico Elias (190-1999) produced 20 points (was perfect 9-for-9 from the free throw line !!!) and the former international point guard Franco Balbi (189-1989) added 12 points respectively for the hosts. Five Instituto and four Union players scored in double figures. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Instituto moved-up to fifth place. Loser Union SF keeps the fifteenth position with nine games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
