16th CCCOI 2008 : Sebam and Sotrata crowned champions

Although they came to Mauritius with a small staff (Only eight players traveled to Mauritius for SEBAM), the two teams from the big island have shown that their players remain technically and tactically superior to others in the zone.

But before reaching the finals, SEBAM had to throw in all they got to edge Real BC Port Louis of Mauritius 73-69 in the semis.

Coach Salimshita had in Charles Rabekoto the MVP of the tourney on the squad and SEBAM already had the title secured by halftime of the final game when they led by 21 points just to extend it by the end of the third to 26 points (66-40).

SEBAM now recorded the third straight title at the CCCOI, while Real BC Port Louis beat St.Pierre of Reunion 78-75 to finish third in this year's mens competition.

The committee of the zone seven decided that 17th edition will be held in the Seychelles next year.
