Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Bangui Sporting Club demolished BC Virunga 82-39 on Tuesday, October 10 to relaunch their bid for a place in the West Division Elite 16 round.<\/p>\n

The Central African Republic club is coached by Liz Mills, a female basketball tactician who happens to be the only woman to have coached a team at the BAL so far.<\/p>\n

During Bangui SC’s match against BC Virunga, Mills’ team led the one-sided match from the jump-ball to the final buzzer with Alex Higgins-Titsha playing a pivotal role in the largest winning margin in the Road to BAL 2024 so far.<\/p>\n

The Australian forward accounted for 11 of Bangui’s 16 points at the end of the opening quarter before finishing with 19 points and 10 rebounds, for his first double-double in the tournament.<\/p>\n

Evans Ganapamo added 20 points and Bijan Johnson came up with 10 points to help the Bangui-based club improve to 2-1.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jonathan Nzamba, the only BC Virunga to score in double digits, finished with 13 points.<\/p>\n

It was a victory that Bangui needed after suffering a shocking defeat against Gabon’s Espoir Basket Club in the opening game of Group B qualifiers taking place in the Cameroonian capital city.<\/p>\n

BC Virunga stepped on the floor looking to bounce back from a narrow defeat to hosts FAP but they struggled to adjust to Bangui Sporting Club’s suffocating defensive game plan.<\/p>\n

With the win, Bangui improved to 2-1 (including a *20-0 forfeit win against Lamantins) while BC Virunga dropped to 0-2.<\/p>\n
