Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.
The most important game of round 4 took place in Marrakech between two undefeated teams where KACM beat FUS Rabat (2-1) 72-59 on Sunday night. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of FUS Rabat. It was a key game for the top position in the league. KACM have a solid three-game winning streak. Defending champion (3-0) keeps a position of league leader, which they share with IRT and CSYG. FUS Rabat at the other side dropped to the second place with one game lost. They share the position with FAR Rabat and CODM. They were replaced at the leadership position by CSYG. FUS Rabat will play next round against RCA trying to make it back to the top of the standings. KACM will try to continue on its current victory against fourth ranked ASC on the road.
The game had a very big importance for second-ranked CSYG as it allowed them to take a leadership position after previous leader's (FUS Rabat) loss. CSYG edged 5th ranked IRAN at home 54-51. CSYG have a solid three-game winning streak. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with IRT and KACM. IRAN at the other side keeps the fifth place with two games lost. They share the position with RCOZ. IRAN will play next round against strong AUIB trying to get back on the winning streak. CSYG will try to continue on its current victory against sixth ranked MTB at Tanger.
Quite upsetting was MAT's (#6) home defeat in a game versus seventh ranked MTB 76-62. It was the only win of guest team this round and in all other games host teams recorded victories. MTB (1-3) left bottom position moving up to sixth place, which they share with RCA and ASG. It was MAT's fourth loss in a row. They still close the standings with four games lost. MTB will meet at home league's leader CSYG in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. MAT will have a break next round.
There were no shocking results in the other games in round 4: AUIB lost to CODM on the opponent's court 53-60. RCOZ managed to outperform RCA in a home game 44-40. ASC was rolled over ASG on the road 80-44.
CODM - AUIB 60-53We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams in Meknes where 3rd ranked
AUIB (2-2) was defeated by fourth ranked
CODM (2-1)
60-53 on Sunday. It was a key game for the second position in the league.
CODM moved-up to second place, which they share with FAR Rabat and FUS Rabat. Loser AUIB dropped to the fourth position with two games lost. They share it with ASC.
CODM will meet at home league's second-placed IRT in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. AUIB will play against IRAN and it may be a tough game between close rivals.

CSYG - IRAN 54-51The game had a very big importance for second-ranked
CSYG as it allowed them to take a leadership position after previous leader's (FUS Rabat) loss. CSYG edged 5th ranked
IRAN at home
54-51.
CSYG have a solid three-game winning streak. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with IRT and KACM.

IRAN will play next round against strong AUIB trying to get back on the winning streak. CSYG will try to continue on its current victory against sixth ranked MTB at Tanger.

RCOZ - RCA 44-40We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams in Oued Zem where sixth ranked
RCOZ (1-2) defeated 5th ranked
RCA (1-3)
44-40 on Sunday.
RCOZ left bottom position moving up to fifth place, which they share with IRAN. Newly promoted
RCA dropped to the sixth position with three games lost. They share it with MTB and ASG.
RCOZ will meet at home higher ranked FAR Rabat (#3) in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. RCA will play against the league's second-placed FUS Rabat and hope to win that game.
gschID: 1340620
ASG - ASC 80-44There was a minor upset when 4th ranked
ASC (2-2) was rolled over on the road by seventh ranked
ASG (1-3)
80-44 on Sunday.
ASG left bottom position moving up to sixth place, which they share with RCA and MTB. Loser ASC keeps the fourth position with two games lost. They share it with AUIB.
ASG will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. ASC will play against the league's leader KACM (#1) and hope to secure a win.
