South African basketball team, Cape Town Tigers, is finding it difficult to compete with the best teams in the Kalahari conference. Basketball fans in South Africa and Africa had high hopes for better results in the opening game, but they were disappointed. Although Cape Town Tigers lost the game, fans acknowledge that Dynamos BBC, which was their opponent, is a new team in The BAL. In their second game, Cape Town Tigers lost 100-88 against Pedro De Luanda. It was an intense game that highlighted how much the South African team needed more time to train together. There are still many missing pieces in this team, and it remains to be seen if they are good enough to compete at the continental level.
Despite having amazing players, a good coach, and excellent facilities compared to other African teams in the conference, Cape Town Tigers are struggling to perform. They have already lost two games, and as of now, they are in fourth position with two losses and no points. Cele has been averaging 33.8 minutes per game, scoring an average of 22 points. Preston, Diarra, Sibanyoni, and Manyang have also been playing well, but they need to produce more action if Cape Town Tigers hopes to qualify for the next round of the BAL.
During the event, South African rapper Priddy Ugly delivered an outstanding performance, showcasing some of the new songs from his latest album, Dust. Musa Keys also performed his hit songs which the crowd thoroughly enjoyed. Prior to the game, a celebrity match took place featuring Robot Boi, Pearl Thusi, Carpo, Sho MAdjozi, and other well-known personalities who showcased their ball skills. The audience was entertained and actively engaged with all the activities that were taking place. We are excited to see more games and entertainment in the upcoming games.
