Next UM Practice

Our next UM practice is tonight Thursday at Gym 1 Indoor Basketball Court, UM.

The time slot alloted to us is, as per yesterday, 9-10:45pm, with the reason that 7-9pm had been alloted to another sport. However, we found that no one was using the basketball court at 8pm last night. Players are therefore requested to arrive at Gym 1 by 7:30pm in the hope that, again, no one will be using the court during that time.

Thank you.
Coach Loke Yew

UM Practices

With all the competitions UM had been taking part in, in 2010, we've hardly had any practices in 2010, after the 2009/2010 MASUM!

UM has just started their 2nd semester and we had our first practice this morning, at 12th College outdoor court. For the time being, we'll have to practice at outdoor courts until Pusat Sukan is able to let us use the indoor courts at Gym 1 or 2.

Attendance was poor this morning, only 5 players. Nonetheless, we went ahead with practice. We've got very little time now to prepare for MASUM 2010. We'll need players to be more consistent in attending practices as we move forward. Most players who missed practice did send me text messages, either explaining the absence (some were sick, some had emergencies back home) or apologizing for their absence. I do appreciate the messages.

Time for our UMBT team to refocus and rededicate ourselves to preparing for MASUM 2010/2011. Also, there may be 2 additional overseas competitions which UMBT might be able to go for in 2011, one in Bandung and another (previously Triennial now) Biennial Inter-varsity Games at Jakarta.

Ex-UM @ Carlsberg - Game #3 Recap

Game 3 was on 3 January 2011 vs eGlobex, our first game of the year. As usual, Ex-UM's performance gets better and better as the competition progresses. eGlobex, though not as strong as Carlsberg, was also a strong team in their own rights. We started poorly, trailed by 21 in the 2nd quarter, but chased up and won 83-80!! What a game it was!!

Unfortunately, with Suo Kuen in Bangkok now, we had no one to video the game and I therefore could not do the usual game stat. Instead, after the game (whilst my memory was still fresh), I decided to do a "brief" game recap. But as I put pen-to-paper (or more accurately, finger-to-keyboard), I ended up typing up a way more detailed recap than I intended!!! Haha. If you are interested to read the recap, click on the "Read More" link below.

Cheers,
Coach

Ex-UM @ Carlsberg - Game #2 Stats

Game 2 was on 29 December 2010 against what should be the STRONGEST team in our Group i.e. the home team "Carlsberg".

Ex-UM played MUCH better. Had we played this well, we would have won our game 1 easily. However, Carlsberg is really a strong and well balanced team and they played well too. Although we managed to stay close for 2+ periods, we were ultimately unable to match their offensive consistency and depth. Despite losing, we all felt much better about this game than our game 1.

Below is the game stat for our game 2 vs Carlsberg. As can be seen from the efficiency rating, many players played much better. Ching and Ming Lip still maintained high ratings and Phang and Poh Guan both doubled their efficiency. Well done all!!

Ex-UM @ Carlsberg - Game #1 Stats

Ex-Um has been taking part in Carlsberg 2010 basketball competition, played at USJ14 Goodyear Court 9.

Our first game was on 27 December 2010 against what should be the "least-strong" opponent in our group. Unfortunately, as usual, our first game also seem to always turn out to be our poorest performance! With almost 1 month's lay off since our last game (be it competitive or social), we all performed poorly. Particularly, game pace and ball movement were way too slow. Ex-UM lost 59-68, in a game which we all felt we should have won.

Below is the game stat for our game against Lian Yew. Only Ching played well and had VERY high efficiency rating (30!!)

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year to all UM and Ex-UM!

A new year and I thought it's high time we had a new design for our website!!

*Phew* ... what a year 2010 has been. Just look at the "Competition" links at the side and you can see the sheer number of competition and basketball ball games we've had! With many, many good achievements, not the least including MASUM 2010 CHAMPIONS as well as Merdeka Cup Champions, Sultan Cup Subang Zone Champions and Sultan Cup overall / Inter Zone 2nd Runners-Up finishing for our UM boys.

Ex-UM too did fairly well, finishing 4th in KL Open and advancing to the Sultan Cup Subang Zone Semi-Finals.

Well done and congratulations to all!!

May the new 2011 year bring joy, prosperity and, of course, many, many more basketball games and competitions!! Cheers!
