UM v UIAM Friendly

A few weeks ago, UM played a friendly match against UIAM. UIAM had only just started their practice season and they were clearly "not ready". We can be sure they will be a much different team by the time MASUM rolls around. However, for the friendly match, they were clearly not ready and UM won easily.

However, UM didn't play a perfect or even near perfect game either. There were many unforced turnovers with a total 22 TO's, that is way too high. UM juniors too, are clearly still not ready and still have much work to do before they are "game ready". Nonetheless, the juniors continue to show improvement and potential.

Ex-UM @ Carlsberg - (Belated) Final Report

We played well in our final game (Semi Finals) and even led by 15 points in the 2nd quarter, however JK5's very good, match-up-switching-zone-defense, starting taking away all open shots on the perimeter and we started struggling to score. Eventually, we lost to a better team.

It turned out to be our final game because the other Semi-Finals (between Carlsberg and CSK) ended in controversy. Unhappy at several non-calls by the referees, CSK refused to finish the game and staged a walk-out!! That meant an automatic disqualification of CSK and we became 3rd place finishers by default!!

Despite the strange circumstances, Ex-UM ultimately finished 3rd place! One of our best finishes in a long time and a hard-fought, well earned one too (see earlier reports on earlier games). 

Well done Ex-UM!!
