Eight Countries. Eight Teams. One Champion.
The inaugural Basketball African League Playoffs will be under way tomorrow at 5:30 PM CT as F.A.P (Cameroon) takes on Zamalek (Egypt) in the Quarterfinals.
Zamalek has been paced by the Point Guard play of Walter Hodge who has provided patience, good reads and leadership during their undefeated run.

Hodge's play has resulted in well run sets, tempo establishment and steady production. As he has been one of the best players at the BAL so far the second game of tomorrow's playoff action should also be a treat as the 9:00 PM CT game features AS Sale (Morocco) against Petro De Luanda (Angola).
The guard play the night cap will be tremendous as Luanda's Antwan Scott and Carlos Morais attempt to stifle the brilliance of Terrell Stoglin, who became the first player to hit the 40 point mark in BAL history.
4⃣0⃣ POINTS, most of #theBAL so far!

With a wave of recent criticism coming his way after he made comments about J. Cole's play in the league, Stoglin looks to channel all energy into postseason success. Guard play is always vital with the new state of basketball worldwide and this 3 vs 6 seeded match-up should result in fireworks.
