YTE emerged champions of the YOU-C 1000 Basketball Cup after a hard-fought 80-77 win over Fu Zhou Shiyyi Association in an enthralling final at the Brunei Basketball Association Court in Batu Bersurat last night. YTE foreign import Udun Osakue (198-F-92, college: San Francisco St.) started the points rolling for his side and his heroics was equally matched by Fu Zhou Shiyyi Association's own foreign import Michael Fey (213-F/C-83, college: UCLA). Terrell Carter II (203-C) of YTE found the Fu Zhou defence tough to break but in the end managed to find a way to make a two-pointer before Lim Aik Hock extended his side's lead. Osakue cleverly left the ball behind with Carter behind in a move which took a few Fu Zhou players out of the equation who were defending the former allowing the latter with the simplest of tasks to guide the ball into the hoop. He continued his individual brilliance with a fine assist for Eric Navarro before Fu Zhou responded with a two-point play through Lim Liang Wei. Wei looked destined to bury a two-pointer but a crucial block denied him and subsequently a fast break occurred as Osakue ferried another wonderful assist which was gleefully accepted by E Requintin. However, Fu Zhou finished strongly at the end of the first quarter as Josh White made a five-point play to ensure that both sides enter the second quarter locked at 20-20. White had called for the ball which he accepted from a pass by Don Mordeno and his fine work resulted in another trey with virtually no time left on the clock. Osakue started the second quarter in a similar fashion as the first after he was left with an empty court before winning a rebound at the other end of the court illustrating his all-around play. Fey powered his way into the painted area to ensure his team draw level before Carter made two points amid pressure from Fey. Carter won his side a free throw with the insurance of a two-point play to extend his team's lead to four points. YTE raced to a 14-point lead heading into the second half which was the widest margin that they had established all game after Osakue dropped a three-pointer. Courtesy of: borneobulletin.com.bn

TUTONG Basketball registered their second victory in Group 'A' of the YOU-C 1000 Basketball Cup and may consequently halt Menglait Basketball passage to the next round following a closely-knitted 77-73 win at the Brunei Basketball Association Court in Batu Bersurat last night. Menglait, which assembled a majority of Filipino players, needed to claw their way back into extending their stay in the competition by establishing an 11-point winning margin. However, with so much importance riding on the game, the Filipino contingent, who used to enjoy deep runs in big local tournaments, were outpointed by the young guns of Tutong Basketball - further proof of a change of guard in the domestic basketball scene. Tutong Basketball player Onn Jen Hao played a key role for his team after leading the scoring charts with 25 points while Darren Yap contributed with 17 points while A Jauhali scored 20 points in a losing effort for the Menglait Basketball Club. Menglait Basketball Club's Allen Salvador inspired his team to launch a highly-spirited comeback in the third quarter for a second successive game having trimmed a deficit and looked on course of meeting their requirement. The third quarter saw Menglait enjoying an assault in the offence and keeping a shutout in defence as Jauhali and Danilo Felicilda traded a collection of points. Courtesy of: borneobulletin.com.bn
