University of Johannesburg vs. Vaal University of Technology – Ladies

VUT started like a house on fire with great inside play from the ladies from Zimbabwe (VUT 4, 14 and 15) and UJ started small to everyone’s surprise in the stands. This played into VUT hands and they had a 10 point run in the first 5 minutes. With 2 minutes left, VUT coach-Zanele Ngwenya took out his starting 5 and played his second unit, which enabled UJ to get back in the game. In hindsight, this looked like a very bad move from VUT coach, Zanele Ngwenya but after looking at the overall game, this move led to UJs key players picking up fouls against the 2^nd unit and the VUT starting 5 had enough rest for the rest of the game which helped them wrap things up in the fourth. After speaking to Zanele Ngwenya after the game on his overall thoughts on the game, he said: “I outsmarted the UJ coaches”.After the first quarter, UJ had made inroads into VUT’s the 10 point lead and they had cut down it down to 5 points. The second quarter was all about UJ 10 (Ellen Mouthlwase) and her quick thinking. She made UJ tick on offense while their defence improved to hold VUT to only 8 points only. At half time the score was tied 28 points apiece.

VUT started the 3^rd quarter with the starting 5 which included 3 zimbabweans girls, 1 namibian girl and a South African girl (Requelh)who was running point; these players all play for their countries respectively and that experience was evident on the floor with the great poise they showed when they came on the court. The chief suspect was VUT 14 (Chugulba, C) who was having a great game with an amazing number of rebounds and second chances. And when she wasn’t hurting UJ with 2^nd chances, she was hurting them by making her free throws. They outscored UJ by 10 points in this quarter.

The final quarter of the game was a strange one, with UJ10 (Ellen Mouthlwase) in foul trouble, she was left on the bench until there was about 6minutes left and without her, UJ struggled to get their offense going. Maybe it was nerves but shots that usually went in were falling short and the passes were not hitting their intended targets. Whenever UJ threatened to make a run, VUT would rally and make their own run. In the end both teams cancelled each other out with 16 points each in the quarter which meant that VUT kept their 10 point margin they had going into the fourth quarter. Final score: UJ 59 – 69 VUT

Game notes: Asked about what the main focus of VUT was during the tournament, Zanele Ngwenya-VUT coach said that defence was the main priority and that all his players had a part to play. His strategy against UJ was to go inside and use his posts to accumulate points. UJ have stumbled for the second time in the final and their players seem afraid to succeed.

Vaal University of Technology vs. University of Johannesburg – Men

Before the game started, I had a few words with the UJ men’s coach Simon Badibanga who was disappointed at the way he was told that he would not be coaching the SA students team to Serbia. He felt that as far as the USSA tournament was concerned, he was unhappy with the treatment he was receiving by a sector of the basketball community.

This game was marred by bad refereeing decisions from the first whistle with the indiscipline of some of the VUT players going unpunished. The referees didn’t stamp their authority when they had the opportunity and as the game got closer to the end, the frustration grew from the players and the coaches on the floor and tempers flared. This almost led to an unsavoury moment of madness…

The game started with UJ getting into the swing of things very early. They were capitalising on VUT inefficiency on offense and punishing them with fast breaks and nice open looks. UJ 4 (Thabang Glass) who had a good tournament so far; was having a great game with great mid range shooting and deadly passing. VUT had to deal with UJ 3-2 zone defence and they couldn’t get their shots going from the perimeter while their posts were struggling to get good position inside.

Throughout the game UJ were in the lead but they didn’t build up that huge lead that would enable them to relax. Whenever they looked in control of the situation, they conspired to turn the ball over and leave the door wide open for VUT to make a comeback if there was to be one.

VUT 4 and VUT 7 (Nhlanha and Ayanda) were keeping VUT in the mix with enterprising play and if the posts had come to the party it would have been an interesting final.

Indiscipline in the last quarter by VUT’s (Thabang Kwedi) cost them 6 free throws and 2 Technical fouls and his team couldn’t recover from that. Thabang, a SA national player and VUT player, got into an altercation with the referees and his team’s management after a call made by the referees. This led to players getting off the bench and coaches arguing with the referees, etc…

With no shot clock, UJ played the game at their pace and they never looked like surrendering their lead at any stage.  In the end UJ won with some crucial baskets and passes from their veteran player UJ15 (Thabo Letsebe) who would eventually be named tournament MVP.Final score: UJ 76 – 64 VUT

Game notes: The referees almost lost control of the game and if they had imposed themselves early they could have prevented the incident that took place in the last quarter. UJ have been working towards this for the last 4 years with a number of people working in the background to see this program grow from strength to strength and this victory is the reward for their efforts. UJ coach said that they had set out to confuse the VUT offense by making them believe that their posts were open when they were not. Speaking to UJ captain – Lucky Loate, he said: “We needed other players to step up and be counted because there would be enormous pressure on the point position.” On his views on the tournament, he said that it wasn’t as WOW as the 2008 event in Cape Town but they enjoyed the win.

UJ started like a house on fire and scored 10 unanswered points. Their counterparts UWC couldn’t match their speed and quick transition and when UJ were not running they were running their sets. Given their advantage in height UJ were always going to be a handful. UWC were playing a 2-3 zone defence but somehow it was leaking when the ball movement became too much. The UWC guards (9 and 7) were probably the best combination of the tournament and they were causing problems for the joburg team as soon as they got their game going. They were shooting well from beyond the arc but UJ 7 was also having a great shooting game. At half time the score was 44 – 27 in favour of UJ.After the interval, UJ came out more aggressive on defence and UWC were making plenty of turnovers. UJ stayed in their zone defence almost for 3 quarters of the game and as soon as they switched it to a press, UWC panicked a little and turned the ball over even more. By the end of the 3^rd quarter, UJ had a 28 point lead and they started the fourth with most of their 2^nd unit players. Despite putting on a valiant effort throughout, UWC couldn’t match the talent shown by the UJ boys and they went down by a big margin.

UWC have been the surprise package of the tournament as far as the men are concerned and their composure and great commitment was the highlight of the tournament. They were led by a very good point guard in Denwin Jones but the youngsters were not fazed by the much older opponents they face. Final score: UJ 83 – 54 UWC

Wits University vs. Vaal University of Technology – Ladies

With half of the 1^st quarter gone, Wits Ladies were hanging in there with a score of 5 – 6 to VUT. Then all of a sudden VUT cranked up their defence and went on a 6 – 0 run by stealing the ball over and over. By the end of the 1^st quarter Wits were down by 10 and their lack of recognised ball handler was causing their coach plenty of headaches. VUT – 9 (Requelh Molema) was on point on defence and Wits players were struggling to get past her. The VUT Zim ladies were controlling the boards and trying to keep Wits 15 (Phumla) quiet with great man on man defence.

Despite the fact that Wits were playing great defence, they didn’t have a consistent transition offence and with all the turnovers they were making it was always going to be an uphill battle. Wits 14 (Phumla) and Wits 15 (Cassidy) were trying to keep them in the game with great rebounds on both ends but it was very hard for them to sustain it throughout the 40min. At half time the score was 15 – 32 to VUT.

After half time, VUT increased their intensity on defence and stretched the lead. With Wits running out of players to make a sustained comeback the lead ballooned and you could see no way back for ladies from the Witwatersrand University. In the end VUT won by 28 points.

Despite going out at this stage of the tournament, The Wits ladies proved that they can be the best out there and their team effort against UJ was commandable, now they have to do it on a consistent level to be recognised as another powerhouse in ladies basketball. Final score: Wits 43 – 69 VUT

Vaal University of Technology vs. Cape University of Technology – Men

VUT came into this came as overwhelming favourites but they were quickly brought to earth by an aggressive and committed effort from the Cape boys. This was a close game throughout and until VUT sorted out their offense, CPUT were in it.

VUT started the game with the wrong strategy by playing a lot of balls through their guards and CPUT were happy to give them the perimeter. VUTs Nhlanla, Ayanda and Christian were not having a great game up top but they were still causing problems with their speed in transition.

CPUT had three players that were troubling VUT on both ends of the floor, Vincent Ntunja (CPUT 13), CPUT 6 and CPUT 8 who was causing Thabang Kwedi from Vaal all kinds of problems. They were playing with no fear and with a lot of structure when the break wasn’t on. Speaking to Vincent after the game, he said: “We were trying to play slowly because Vaal like teams to play at a fast tempo because it suits their style.”

With 3 min to go it was a 6 point affair and then VUT realised that if they went to the post they could score easy buckets with the Likes of Thabang, Eric and Chief. So after a quick time out and some instructions from the coaches, VUT came out with that mindset and ended up winning the game through point in the paint. Final score: VUT 84 – 75 CPUT.

University of Pretoria vs. University of Johannesburg – Ladies

This was a rematch of the 2008 USSA final at UCT in the Western Cape with a few distinct additions to the line up on both teams. UJ started with a high tempo and Tuks were close throughout the 1^st quarter. Ellen Mothlawse(UJ 10) was causing all sorts of problems for the Tuks defence with her great passing in the lane and her scoring. It was a bit of a surprise to see, Lungile on the court because she was nursing a twisted ankle from day 1 of the tournament.

Tuks were outhustling UJ in the post and Taki Mfamadi (Tuks 10) was making impossible baskets on offense with two or even 3 players on her. UJ went for a full court man-to-man in the 2^nd quarter and despite getting free a few times, Tuks started making unnecessary turnovers and the score started go away from them.

UJ were in full flow and they were running their transition very well and capitalising on the hosts’ mistakes on offense. With UJ playing a great game throughout it was hard to find a fault in their game. Tuks ladies must be commanded for their fight for the 40 minutes and all their posts had an amazing game. Their defence and intensity was much better in this game.

After defeating the defending champions, it looked like UJ would go on and win the tournament. It was a great team effort and their guard play and defence was very good throughout this semi-final.

Tuks lost the game but they can take great heart from their performance in this semi-final. They will comeback stronger next year. Final score: UJ 74 – 45 Tuks

Game notes: The semis were interesting in that VUT didn’t get an easy passage to the final but were made to work hard for their spot in the final. UJ and VUT ladies teams had a foot in the final by the time they got to half time while the UJ men made easy work of UWC who didn’t have a strong bench. These semi-final games were played in great spirit with the right intensity. The referees in most of these games were shocking to say the least and there was an instance where the coaches even went to have discussions with them.

Before all that took place, Wits men were about to cause another upset by leading Vaal University of Technology (VUT) for 3 quarters until Thabang Kwedi (VUT) made a “Paul Pierce” entrance in the game and took the game away in the last 6 minutes. In other male games, the University of Johannesburg (UJ) defeated the hosts Tuks by 23 points in what seemed like a formality. They really look like champions elect, let’s hope they don’t underestimate any opposition and continue playing in the composed manner. They are en route to meet VUT in the final if they keep up their winning streak.

In a match that would decide who would go to the finals, CUT men played CPUT and at half time CPUT were up making them the strong favourites to play VUT in the semis. In the other semis it looks like UJ will end up playing UWC.

For the ladies, the final four will probably look like this: Tuks, UJ, VUT and either Wits/University of Limpopo.

There has been some amazing buzzer beating shots from half way and some great dunks so far so if you have time come by and savour the entertainment on show. There is even Champion merchandise up on sale at the makeshift kiosk if you want to get some basketball gear.

What a day of upsets and drama…Before I mention the basketball, it seems that USSA and SABC Slamdunk have reached an agreement and the cameras have started rolling again on day 2. The fans came in drips and drabs but they had good entertainment throughout with some key battles.

Ok straight to the dramatic games that produced exciting results. The hosts, The University of Pretoria (TUKS), lost both their games with the men’s team losing to last second free throws from Cape University of Technology (CPUT) guard Vincent Ntunja, while the ladies went down to Vaal University of Technology (VUT) in a match that was won in the first half. Tuks men had an 11 point lead and blew it in the last 2 minutes to lose the game on turnovers, bad calls and good shooting from CPUT guards. VUT ladies made their statement early against the defending champions by going on a run early on and in the end Tuks couldn’t catch up. The match was littered with plenty of mistakes and turnovers from the host but credit must be given to VUT who played great defense throughout. They hurried Tuks into mistakes and their PG controlled the game with some great decisions.The biggest upset of the day must go to the Wits Ladies who defeated the favourites, The University of Johannesburg, UJ in a match that had plenty of lead changes. Wits fought with heart and great team spirit and amazing leadership from their national player, Phumla Sathula (Wits 15). They were in UJ’s face from the first whistle and despite a disappointing third quarter, they picked up their game in the fourth to win by 3 points and the victory felt so much sweeter because it was a team effort. UJ didn’t step up to the plate when they had to and some of their players will have to do some introspection if they are to snatch the title from the University of Pretoria. The less said about the officiating throughout the tournament the better.

VUT men were given a run for their money by University of Western Cape (UWC) but in the end, when VUT figured that they were a big threat inside and they started getting better scoring opportunities. UWC will rattle a few feathers in this tournament so teams better be warned because they show great poise for a very young team. University of Kwazulu Natal (UKZN) look like a shadow of themselves and the energy they showed in last year’s tournament has all but disappeared; they were humbled by UJ in their earlier game. The UJ boys look like they mean business and they are strong favourites to win it, they play Tuks at 11 on day 3. In the last game of the day, VUT took Durban University of Technology (DUT) to the cleaners and in the end it was a 15+ points victory.

The ladies games have gone according to strength and so far it looks like it will be a Gauteng semi final showdown with VUT, Tuks, UJ and Wits making up the numbers. The Cinderella team this year will be the Wits ladies who seem to have found a purpose and belief to trouble other teams.

The CUT ladies team also had some tragic news to deal with following the passing of one of their teammates last week but they managed to make the trip and honour her memory.

Despite all the sad news, the event was officially opened by the USSA executive with all the teams and officials gathered at the LC de Villiers indoor in the afternoon of the first day. There was an interesting twist to the days proceedings with the SABC Slam dunk and Supersport refused permission to film the USSA without proper accreditation and procedures followed…

As far as the games go, all the big guns came through the 1^st day unscathed with the hosts University of Pretoria (UP) winning their games in the men and ladies section. The University of Johannesburg also had an easy time of it by blowing out their opponents by 60+ points and using their games to prepare for the tougher competition ahead. Vaal University of Technology (VUT) also made easy work of their opponents confirming them as favourites for the tournament in both divisions. University of Western Cape (UWC) men also had a great start to the tournament by winning their games and showing great maturity on the floor by executing superbly, they could be the surprise package of the tournament. Durban University of Technology (DUT) could also cause a few upsets during the tournament but their lack of height might hamper their progress. Teams like North West and Rhodes look a bit out of depth but maybe it’s the lack of proper basketball that is putting them at a disadvantage. University of Limpopo (UL) look like they have a ladies team that could compete with the big guns from Gauteng but their men’s team looks weak and they were easily beaten by UJ. University of Kwazulu Natal (UKZN) have great shooters and a good spirit but they are in a tough pool so they might not come out of there to make the semis. University of Cape Town (UCT) are in their rebuilding process and are not expected to go very far in this year’s event with this being their first experience. University of Witwatersrand (Wits) are a young team and some of their decision making is still raw but their ladies team will be the team to watch out for. Port Elizabeth College (PE college) came to the tournament with a limited number of players so they will struggle to compete with the other teams will deeper benches.

There were dunks galore and great on the court entertainment and the night was capped off with a TUKS player posterizing a UKZN player to bring the day’s proceedings to an end…

More to follow with results…

With teams pitching early for the games starting at 09h00, the game between UJ ladies and Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) didn’t take place because the latter didn’t turn up, maybe they knew that they were in for a tough match against last year’s runners up. The game between Wits ladies and VUT was a contest between 2 teams going through the motion, with Wits keeping an eye on their next game against Medunsa which was more important. VUT just had too much ammunition for Wits to handle, despite playing like a disjointed unit.

The next round of games at 11h00 saw Wits ladies play Medunsa; and with this being a crucial clash you would have expected a bit of competition but it wasn’t to be. Wits walked all over Medunsa with (Wits 6) and (Wits 15) running the show. They were doing layups after layups and by half time the game was up. It wasn’t much of a spectacle for the little fans that were present but at least now the teams can start preparing for the tournament with the knowledge of what they have to fix leading up to it… The final score Wits 74 – 13 Medunsa. The other game was a friendly between the University of Pretoria (TUKS) men and VUT, who decided to bring their 2^nd team. After some early jitters, TUKS managed to come out on top but it wasn’t that comfortable throughout the match.

At 13h00, VUT ladies played against UJ in a pointless match that was more for bragging rights before the tournament than anything. This match was interrupted by an accident to a VUT player that saw her land heavily on her head and with no first aid crew around, it was up to the two coaches and some of the team members to come up with a plan. After stabilizing the injured player, the ambulance came to pick her up and the game resumed. Despite having a 3 point lead at the half, UJ went down to the VUT ladies. In the other game, CUT came all the way from the Free State to play a friendly against the TUT ladies who managed to make it in time for this game. In the end, CUT ladies were triumphant and with each passing game the ladies are getting more confidence in their system of play although they should work on making their layups.

With 3 weeks left, this year’s USSA will be hard to predict for the ladies section. The defending champions, University of Pretoria are not at their best yet, UJ are still inconsistent, VUT are still trying to gel but they need to do a lot more team work, Wits are the dark horse because of they show great fighting spirit.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the match between Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) and the hosts The University of the Witwatersrand (TUT), with the winner assured of a place in the Institution showpiece.

Before all that took place, there were a few games in the morning building up to the main event. In the 9 o clock games, The Wits ladies made easy work of a TUT team that looks really out of their depth. Here is an indepth look at the Wits ladies team: With a thin team of only nine players this year, one could think they’re destined for doom, but the USSA qualifiers are yet to tell the truth. Their first test was against UJ ladies last week thursday, and as always, a tough one too. Wits started off strong with one and two point lead battles with Uj in the first two quarters, but as the final quarters drew closer, it seemed they had given up a war worth fighting for. The final score was that of a 20 point lead by UJ.

Sunday morning came, and Wits looked refreshed and ready for their next trial against TUT. Most who hadn’t been following the game from the beginning thought there was an error with the score board as the score was 2-47, with TUT down. The final score was 10-83 and it was clear Wits had made up for their defeat during the week against UJ.  The Wits men also had an easy time against a Medunsa team that looks like they haven’t had time to prepare for the tournament.

At 11 o clock, the second round of games saw University of Johannesburg battle TUT in the men section. In a game that could have gone either way, it came down to the little decisions made by the players and coaches on either side. If TUT had enough belief on the day they would have given UJ a run for their money and even beaten them. They had inside and outside threat and UJ were struggling to contain the TUT power forward (TUT 14 – Gideon) and their guard Victor (TUT 9) who was doing lay up after lay up through out the game. Gideon was blocking shots, changing shots and collecting most if not all rebounds on both ends of the floor. In the end the experience of Thabang Glass (UJ 4) and Thabo Letsebe (UJ 15) enable UJ to capitalize on the mistakes made by their opponents and the final score was UJ 74 – 65 TUT. In the ladies section, Vaal University of Technology (VUT) dismantled Medunsa with a final score of 90 – 12, but the sad thing is that even tough the game was never in danger of being lost, VUT played a full court press against a team of girls from the medical campus that were already demoralized from an already daunting half time score.

The 3 o clock show was the decisive clash between Wits University and TUT. This was the Wayne (Wits) vs. Gideon (TUT) show. Wits started stronger and took an early 10 point lead on the back of beautiful team play; but the cuts by their forward Wayne, who had a mismatch all game where the highlight of the opening stanza. But then TUT found some belief and started reeling in their opponents to close the gap to 6 points at half time. Wits couldn’t stop TUT big man Gideon and Eric with Gideon especially causing them trouble all game long… (Score: 39 – 32). Despite this TUT were still playing an individual game as opposed to Wits team play but despite these flaws, TUT were giving as good as they got from the Wits players. At the end of the 3^rd quarter, the score was 61 – 57 to Wits with the quarter characterized by a 3 point happy TUT team. As the saying goes “you live by the 3 point and you die by the 3 point” and in the 4^th quarter, TUT struggled to find their range from 3 point range so they had to rely on the industrious work of their forwards (TUT 12, Eric and Gideon) and the threat of Victor their good shooting guard (TUT 9) who has a consistent game every time. With 10 seconds left in the 4^th quarter it was anyone’s game with the score tied at 73 all and TUT had plenty of opportunity to win the game with 2 missed free throws and a wasted possession that ended with a drive and supposed foul that wasn’t called on a Wits player against Gideon. Wits regained their composure in overtime to close the game out 78 – 75. In the ladies game, UJ used the game against Medunsa to work on a few things and ended up with an easy victory. They were not running any fast breaks against their weak opponents and were looking for a good shot or a percentage play. The UJ ladies were red hot from the 3 point line with Gabsile and Kgaugelo the main suspects. The UJ team like most teams this year had to do without their national team players so there was space for some new faces in the team but it was business as usual for coach Mandla and his assistant Molupe.

At 17h00 o clock, UJ men made a mockery of their game against Medunsa and in the end it looked like an exhibition game with unnecessary passing, slacking defense and ill advised shooting from their players. With a roster like theirs, you would expect UJ men to respect any opponent they face at any level. They were overwhelming victors in this game. In the ladies section, VUT made easy work of TUT who have been the whipping team of this season’s qualifiers.

Small mention of the University of Pretoria (TUKS) who have already qualified, the ladies played Central University of Technology (CUT) and defeated them by 17 points but it was hard work all the way. The men’s team were scheduled to play VUT but the latter wasn’t informed in due time so the game didn’t take place.
