COMPLETE Ex-UM Team!

A proud moment and great beginning in Ex-UM history. For the first time we have an Ex-UM boys and Ex-UM girls team in active competition at the same time!!

Ex-UM Competition Games Update

Ex-UM just finished a stretch of back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back, 5 game in 5 days, during which our win-loss record is 4-1. And we just finished a fantastic game against OAE, to win the best of 3 series 2-0, with a hard fought 71-61 win, without one of our best player, Phang, who had transportation problems.

We had an incredible 1st half, especially the 2nd quarter where the game flow was super-fast and ball movement was fantastic. We outscored OAE 29-14 in the 2nd quarter, with (super) fast break points after fast break points, taking a commanding 17 point half time lead. However, we lost our rhythm a little in the 3rd and 1st half of the final quarter and OAE slowly closed the gap, finally tying the score at 56-56. From there, we regrouped, finally found our rhythm back, and went on a game and series clinching 15-5 run to calmly and steadily close out the game.

Jack played a fantastic game, hitting critical 3 pointers, including the last 3 pointer which restored our double digit, 10 point lead, which was the final "nail in the coffin". From there OAE started hanging their heads and totally lost their spirit (despite their Coach's encouragement that "its not over! its not over!".

KL Open Games Schedule

Click "Read more" for KL Open's full schedule.

Please note that the Opening Ceremony has been moved to 16 Oct, Sunday and Ex-UM (B) has a game immediately after that.

All games are played in Salak South EXCEPT on 16 Oct (Opening Ceremony) where all games on that day only will be played at MABA Stadium.

Please note also that there has been some changes to the schedule (the table under "Read more" has been updated accordingly). The only change affecting Ex-UM is our game on 16 Oct:-

1. Previous game time of 3:30pm was a typo. The correct time of the game is 4:30pm (after the Opening Ceremony);
2. Our opponent is changed from PSBT to KBT as the organizers wanted a more competitive game on Opening Ceremony day. KBT is considered a stronger team that PSBT.

It is therefore important for Ex-UM players to make the effort to turn up for that game!

Cheers,
Coach  Loke Yew

UM Practice & Try Out

UM 2011-2012 Season is starting!

We will have our first practice and try-out sessions starting this week, as follows:-

1. Wedn 28/9 NIGHT 7:30-10:45 PM at Gym 1 (Indoor Court)
2. Sat 1/10 MORNING 7:30-10:30 AM at Varsity Green (Outdoor Court)

We are also trying to secure availability of Gym 1 on Thursday night and will advise if we manage to secure it.

Meantime, for 1st year players (and reminder to our veterans), please note our following practice guidelines / rules:-

1. Be EARLY. Practice start time of 7:30 means you should be there at 7:00, to warm up etc. We start sharp at 7:30.

2. Be EFFICIENT. During practice, especially between drills or between drill and water break, do not walk but run / jog.

3. Practice HARD. Drills are run for short durations but we expect HIGH INTENSITY/ EFFORT.

4. Bring your own WATER supply (LOTS of it!). There is no water supply at Varsity Green and although there is a water cooler at Gym 1, 20+ people waiting in line to use that one water cooler is not efficient use of time.

5. Bring a simple FILE. We will handout printouts occasionally during practices.

6. Subject to the above, have FUN and ENJOY yourselves. Get to know your new team mates and make new friends whilst learning to improve your basketball skills.

See you all this Wednesday night.

Regards,
On behalf of the
UMBBT Coaching Staff

UM Achievements Todate

I've been meaning to set out on one page, UM's achievements to date, for a long time now.

I've finally got around to starting it at : UMBBT Info Website - Achievements

I always believe "getting started" is more important than waiting to get it absolutely right / complete. I've therefore just started by setting out the more recent achievements. If you recall which year / season, which competition and the results, please state in the comments to this entry and I'll add it to our Info Website @ the Achievements page.

I'd also like to collect a team photo of each and every UM team over the years. If you have a team photo of your team, please email to me at : Coach LY's Email

Thank you.
Coach Loke Yew

Sultan Cup - Update

Ex-UM is also have a good run at Sultan Cup this year. Our results thus far:-

G1 v TABT (Win : 85-51)
G2 v Anonymous (Win : 87-51)

G2 (played today) was particularly interesting as there were only 3 players at the games venue at game time (Phang, Coach Loke Yew and Jack) due to many players being outstation and not being able play. After half an hour Coach Pin and Sem arrived and game started with just 5 of us! In the middle of the 2nd Quarter, Ching arrived. We played the entire game with just 6 players!

Fortunately, we all played a good game - Phang had many great assists, Pin scored in double figures (11 points) and Ching was our (usual) dominant, unstoppable player, scoring 43 points!! That's almost half our entire team score!!

Thanks to the Ex-UM players who rushed back from outstation to attend today and well done all!

Many thanks also to all the Ex-UM supporters who attended (there were more Ex-UM supporters than Ex-UM players today!!) today's game and continue to give us great support.

G3 will be against Asia Tech on 23/9 FRIDAY @ 7:30pm.  Come support us some more!

Ex-UM @ Xballer - Update
