Date: February 19, 2026
There was a small surprise when eleventh ranked Boca Juniors (13-12) beat 9th ranked Instituto (15-13) in Buenos Aires 70-63 on Thursday. The winners were led by the former international guard Santiago Scala (186-1991) who scored that evening 18 points and American guard Michael Smith (193-1995, college: CBU) supported him with 13 points and 6 rebounds. Even 14 points and 8 rebounds by naturalized Italian Vicente Garello (203-1997, agency: BIG) did not help to save the game for Instituto. Guard Nicolas Copello (193-1992) added 15 points and 5 rebounds. Boca Juniors have an impressive five-game winning streak. Defending champion moved-up to tenth place, which they share with Penarol. Instituto lost third consecutive game. They keep the ninth position with 13 games lost. Boca Juniors' supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Buenos Aires Obras.
