Tonight’s game was scheduled to have the best team in the Group (Prometey) against the worst performing team in the Round of 16-Oostende but has been cancelled.

Prometey has withdrawn from all competitions due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine over the past week hence the cancellation of the fourth game at this stage of the continental tournament. Ukrainian teams competing in other sports have taken similar actions.

Ghana Center Amida Brimah is competing in the Champions League for the first time and is averaging 10.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in 23 minutes.

Oostende has lost all three games played in the Round of 16 against Prometey in the first leg, Unicaja Malaga and Cluj Napoca in Group K.

Filou will turn attention to winning its first title of the season on Sunday, March 13 against Limburg United in the Belgian Cup Final before playing Malaga on March 16.

Amida Brimah’s Oostende drop game to Malaga in Champions League https://sig.sportsinghana.com/2022/02/amida-brimahs-oostende-drop-game-to-malaga-in-champions-league/ Thu, 03 Feb 2022 18:56:00 +0000 https://sportsinghana.com/?p=14101 Ghana Center Amida Brimah was in action for Belgian side Filou Oostende in the FIBA Basketball Champions League.

Filou however, lost its first game in the Round of 16 in the 2021-2022 Regular Season via a 59-75 loss to Malaga in Spain. The return leg in Belgium is on March 16.

Brimah played 25 minutes off the bench and registered seven points, 10 rebounds, a steal and three blocks in a frustrating display for the former Indiana Pacers defender who turned the ball over five times. (Click highlighted text to watch game highlights)

The low scoring output marked a poor performance for Oostende as the team turned the ball over 22 times against 13 giveaways from Malaga.

Only Keye van der Vuurst de Vries scored in double figures (12 points) for Oostende as Brimah was one of three players to score seven points in the contest.

Brimah led all players in rebounds with three coming on the offensive end; the team has upcoming games in the continental tournament against U-Banca Transilvania and Pometey.
