Here’s ECBL.weebly.com. reporting on UiTM, who will compete in the 2015 KARISMA and the current ECBL:
UiTM beat BlackJack 43-42 in the opening match of ECBL 2015 in Batas Baru Court, Terengganu on Friday to claim their first-ever official tournament win.
BlackJacks went into the game strong and confident looking to win their first game, but some poor shooting and turnovers boosted UiTM's confidence although they were trailing behind by as many as 12 points.
The game was seen as entertaining as these two young teams battle to win their first game. BlackJacks are more composed with fine rotation and accurate passing while the UiTM struggled in their plays.
The turning point of the game was at the fourth and final quarter as UiTM foils BlackJacks by steals and blocks narrowing the points gap.
In the final 5 seconds, UiTM was awarded penalty shot (free throws) as UiTM player (Hanafi Hadi) was fouled and won the game by 1 point.
I wonder if the game was extended another 30 seconds, can the BlackJack turn the tables and won the game instead?
It was surely a beautiful game between these two teams. Hopefully blackJacks can secure their first win next Friday and the UiTM their next victory.
We from the ECBL thank BlackJack and UiTM for a splendid display of tactics, spirit, hustle and plays. You guys made us sat on the edge of our seats till the end. Good game!
