Basketball Africa League’s Inaugural Kalahari Conference Concludes in South Africa

 Award-Winning South African Music Artist Cassper Nyovest Fires Up Sold-Out SunBet Arena With Electrifying Halftime Performance .

 


PRETORIA, South Africa, March 18, 2023/ -- Johnathan Jordan recorded 19 points, five rebounds and four assists, and four other FUS players scored in double figures as Morocco’s FUS Rabat defeated South Africa’s Cape Town Tigers 84-75 at Pretoria’s SunBet Arena, booking their ticket to the BAL (https://BAL.NBA.com) Playoffs and Finals set to take place in Kigali, Rwanda in late May. With their third win in four games, FUS has finished the competition on top of the inaugural Kalahari Conference (3-1), followed by Angola’s Petro de Luanda (2-2) and the Tigers (1-3).

 

The Tigers were led by Samkelo Cele (24 points) and Billy Preston, who finished with 23 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals. Nkosinathi Sibanyoni made his presence felt in the paint with seven rebounds and two blocks, but the Tigers will now have to wait for the outcomes of the Nile Conference (April 19-27) and the Sahara Conference (May 4-12), which will decide the eight teams to travel to Kigali.
