While in South Africa on an outreach tour in connection with Hoops4Hope that lasted just a few days, a Canadian group of players beat Cape Peninsula University by 28 points on monday and came face to face with the best team in the Cape at the moment, Montana Vikings on Wednesday 19 May at the Belhar Sports Center.

Last week Wits University remembered one of its fallen heroes with the annual Ashraf tournament. For the first time in a long time the tournament was very well attended, maybe an indication that the basketball public and players are starving for some local action in Gauteng.
Some of the interesting clashes in the preliminary rounds of the tournament included the game between Wanderers Scorpions vs. Soweto Raptors (Ladies) and TUT Limpopo vs. UJ (Men). Scorpions looked like a totally revamped team that can now challenge some of their more renowned opponents and they beat Raptors by 4 points with Emma Ledwaba doing the business down the line. In the men section, TUT Limpopo almost upset UJ with a close encounter that could have gone either way.

SHOOT AROUND: It’s been a while since I’ve sat down to jot about the game that I love to live for. Many things have happened and since then, I’ve continued to keep my eyes on the game and meeting like minded guys who also love to engage about the game. In this, I would like to send a shout out to the crazy bunch in the AWBOWhut group, unfortunately membership is purely by invite and the mogul is fortunate enough to catch a lot of insight from some of the vets in there.
