Algeria

Regular Season Round 19: US Setif - USM Alger 79-75

Date: January 18, 2026
We should mention about the upset which took place in Setif, where higher ranked USM Alger (11-8) lost to twelfth ranked US Setif (6-13) in a road game 75-79 on Sunday. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of USM Alger. It was a great evening for DR Congolese center Mutomb Mbav (206-1987) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 24 points and 12 rebounds (made all of his eight free throws). Forward Anis Azzouz (198-2000) helped adding 18 points and 7 rebounds. US Setif's coach Abdesslem Djeroudi allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. At the losing side the former international swingman Laamouri Merahi (195-1995) responded with 17 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists and guard Ahmed Boutiba (188-1995) produced a double-double by scoring 18 points and 10 rebounds. Four US Setif and five USM Alger players scored in double figures. US Setif maintains twelfth place with 6-13 record. USM Alger at the other side keeps the fifth position with eight games lost. They share it with Mouloudia and Rouiba. US Setif will meet higher ranked Mouloudia (#7) in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. USM Alger will play against the league's leader Nadi Basket having rather not much hope for a victory.
