Elite 16 Bound: We Beat Elan Coton to Keep Our BAL Dream Alive

Elite 16 Bound: We Beat Elan Coton to Keep Our BAL Dream Alive

Everything was on the line in Abidjan. We showed up when it mattered most and booked our place in the Elite 16.

After three gruelling days of action, one win and one loss, it all came down to one game. A clash against Elan Coton of Benin with everything at stake. Lose and our BAL journey ends. Win and we return to the Elite 16 for a second consecutive year. We chose the latter.

We Deliver When It Matters

In a game that demanded composure and fight, we stepped up. Our Nobles matched the intensity and executed when it counted most to secure the result and keep our BAL hopes alive.

Aziz’s Crowning Moment

This was the night Abdul Aziz announced himself on the international stage.

After a standout season in the Accra Basketball League, he delivered when we needed him most: 14 points. 11 rebounds. Efficiency rating of 20. An MVP performance. A statement game.

What Comes Next

Our focus now shifts back home. We turn to the Accra Basketball League Playoffs, where we begin our quest for a third consecutive Division One title. First up is a best of three series against the University of Ghana.
