Post Report
KATHMANDU, Oct 3 –
Ace Institute of Management (AIM) hammered Unique B 82-31 in the Pool D encounter under
2nd Amrit Trophy Basketball (ATB) Championship match played on Wednesday.
With AIM already
securing their place in the last eight alongside Brigade Boys Club (BBC) for the Pool, the
match, however, hardly had anything above an academic interest. AIM is slated to meet
Unique A in the quarters while BBC will take on 10’ers.
After the first
quarter, where the scores were tied at 12-12, Unique boys never seemed to pose any
challenge to the AIM players, also known as Ace Flyers.
Unique boys, who were
at disadvantage due to their
short stature, also looked technically inferior to the AIM players. That was reflected by
their
struggle in the entire course of the match.
Ace Flyers’ held
their supremacy throughout as the score read 32-7, 35-19 and 25-5 in the second, third and
fourth quarters respectively.
Bipin Maharjan,
continued his superb run of form scoring 24 points—the highest in the match. He
managed a couple of three-pointers in the process. Shiva Shrestha was the highest scorer
for Unique B with 9 points.
In the day’s Pool
B contest, Ascol Juniors defeated Ranjana Cassette Center (RCC) 49-35. Ascol has already
qualified for the quarter-finals along with Gyanodaya from the pool.
Raju Shrestha from
Ascol was the highest scorer in the match with 15 points while Om Chandra Ghale scored 9
points for RCC.
Likewise, defending
champions Lincoln School drubbed Nepal Commerce Campus (NCC) 65-27 in the Pool A match.
Rishi Robertson of Lincoln was the highest scorer of the match with 36 points.
Earlier, 10’ers
were awarded victory as their Pool C opponents, Kathmandu University did not turn up for
the match.
