BAL Carlos Morais: We didn’t play a very good game against ABC Fighters
Morais shot six-for-12 from the field and four-for-five from beyond the arc to contribute a team-high 18 points on the night.
Having lost the first two games of the Sahara Conference, the Senegalese side recovered to win the last three and make the playoffs.
One of their biggest wins came in the final Sahara Conference matchup with US Monastir, and they defeated the defending champions to lock them out of the playoffs.
"We are aggressive defensively; that has been one of our strongest points right now."
Mamadou Gueye's charges also boast the leadership qualities of Marcus Crawford and cannot be taken lightly going into the final bend of this year's competition.
