Fenerbahçe is the only unbeaten team in Euroleague now
Fenerbahçe 77- 69 Avenida
Angel McCoughtry 28 points 6 rebounds
Penny Taylor 16 points 7 rebound

In the first half Avenida was leading 38-34. They are very good especially at offensive rebounds they had 18 offensive rebounds that could be a record
But in the second half Esmeral and Birsel showed how a point guard should play. They manage the team very well. And we won by 8 points.
Zane Tamane is a very good team member. When she is in court we play better.
Matovic showed her worst performance in Fenerbahçe i think she made 45678 travellings.
Anyway very good win
Go Fenerbahçe!!!!!!!

Quote from Bartek

Who did play tonight against Valencia in Istanbul?
Galatasaray or African Team?
My Dears Valencia crushed Galatasaray 76-46.

Yes, that match was exactly a disaster for Galatasaray. Alba Torrens was missing.However it can't be the reason for such a bad game! I always talked about it here and now I am saying it again, WE DO NEED A EUROPEAN CENTER !

Turkish Women' Basketball League
Fenerbahçe 96 - 82 Galatasaray Medical Park
Bİrsel Vardarlı was the Mvp of the game. She is the best guard in Europe no doubt. And she loves to play against Işıl i think
Birsel 16 pts - 7 assists - 3 rebound
Angel 24 pts - 5 rebound
Nevriye 17 pts- 12 rebound- 4 assists
Penny and Matovic 15 pts

Diana Taurasi 33 pts She was so nervous, and played so hard she hit Penny's head and she bleed but no techincal faul
Tina Charles 22 pts 9 rebounds
Prince 13 pts - 5 assists

Alba and Babkina was injured. I think it is an advantage for us

I don't want to mention same things again and again. Fowles will come back on 1st December. This can be an advantage in the league for us. However if we want to be champion in Euroleague, we HAVE TO sign with a European Center. I was thinking that only one European is enough for us. However after that match I saw that we need a European Guard too By the way congratulations to Fenerbahçe. They played extremely well. Nevriye and especially Birsel made the difference

Oooppss ! Where's the Işıl

Congratz Fener fans Fenerbahce deserved this victory much more than my Galatasaray MP yesterday but it was a really interesting match untill last Quater.Both teams did really tons of simple mistakes.Especially even Fener win they did a record amounts of turnovers of this match but owned Galatasaray in rebounds,that was they key of match guess.Alba's lack effected Galatasaray so badly in the opposite Babkina's lack effected Fener very positive I think,she will be sended very soon from team and they might bring a better guard.Same as for Galatasaray.They have to send Matic and need to bring a more quality Forward/Center.

Galatasaray is again leader Group A is just too unpredictable

Penny

Cappie Pondexter from UMMC Ekaterinburg to Fenerbahce.Well i really didn't understand this transfer so which two will play now in EL? Angel?Taylor?Pondexter?

Fenerbahçe is playing so well lately (in offense especially). Penny- Angel duo is quite amazing, i won't change them to any player in the world.
And i'm afraid of ruining this rythm by adding new player. Only player i want for team is Sancho Lyttle from Ros Casares. She is European and she is so suitable for our game i think. I love Cappie but, there is also this thing between Cappie and Taurasi&Penny :S. I don't think this is a good idea.

This morning Cappie tweeted

Wow its officially my last game in a UMMC uniform. Thankyou i had amazing 4 seasons here. I will miss u EKAT!!!!
I WILL enjoy my time until the wnba season starts!!!! #BLESSED

So she will leave UMMC. I hope she will enjoy her time until Wnba starts as she said

I think any team would have Sancho Lyttle into their roster as American/European Luckily Ros Casares got her.Probably Lyttle and Hammon are the most valuable european/american players right now with the new rule.Well i totally agree about the coherence between Penny and Angel.They are the one of the strongest non european duo in EL no doubt I think Pondexter is not good enough as much as she was in Fenerbahce years ago.She had a fantastic form in Fener So she will rest at home untill WNBA?

Sancho is the best

Rumours have surfaced Fenerbahce are working to bring point-guard Cappie Pondexter back to Istanbul.
Currently with UMMC Ekaterinburg but reported to be leaving with Sue Bird ready to arrive in Russia next month, it looks like Pondexter could end up with her former team who are the only EuroLeague Women club yet to taste defeat in the competition this season.

If fibaeurope.com writes it too, it is probably going to happen. I don't know if i should be happy or sad. But it is said in the news that she will come on February, so she will play only in the Turkish League, that is a good thing to have Cappie rather than Babkina
