Rauf Denktaş University (RDÜ) entered the first week of the league with a victory by coming from behind and winning 73-68 against Middle East Technical University (METU).
The Architect of RDU’s Coming From Behind Victory: Yarkpazuo F. Moore
In the opening match, RDU won with its superior performance in the third quarter, despite being behind throughout the match. The star of the team in RDU’s victory was Yarkpazuo F. Moore with his effective performance of 15 rebounds and 18 points. Moore was the name that brought RDU the victory with his contributions in both offense and defense. With its leadership and ball control, especially in the last minutes of the match, RDU managed to end METU’s superiority.
The Great Performance of Fatih Özen from METU Was Not Enough
METU, on the other hand, made a very fast start to the match and led for a long time. However, he could not prevent RDU’s amazing comeback and lost the match. METU’s most effective player was Fatih Özen, who led his team with 32 points.
