Aliou Diarra
ABC Fighters lost to eventual Conference winners Stade Malien, and it was a drubbing at 90-71. Aliou Diarra (F-2001) was the star for the Mali side, scoring 22 points. But the real winner was teamwork, as Malien score 54 points in the paint to ABC's 18. They forwent three-point shots for the basics, and it paid off. Malien were another team that started off poorly but gathered momentum as they gelled together, with center Reuben Chinyelu (208-F-2003), who had 13 rebounds on the night, saying: "I think this is a little bit of what I could do. I think I could do more. "I would stay it's step by step -- we're building, but I could do more... I would say we picked up from our mistakes in our previous games. We keep building -- keep stacking up the bricks step by step." The caravan now moves to Cairo at the end of April, where six new teams, including Zaire Wade's Cape Town Tigers and Egyptian giants Al Ahly, will compete for their playoff places. |
