ABIDJAN (Cote d'Ivoire) - It's never too late to take a look at the numbers that drew a full picture of the 2023 Road to BAL qualifiers over the last two months.

Eight teams assembled in Johannesburg with seven chasing qualification while the eighth, NBA Academy Africa, was using the competition as part of their build-up for upcoming NBA competitions in the USA.

The 2024 BAL season will play a record 48 games across four African countries - South Africa, Egypt, Senegal and Rwanda - over four months, marking the first BAL games in South Africa.

JOHANNESBURG (South Africa) - South African champions Cape Town Tigers are back-to-back East Division Elite 16 Basketball Africa League (BAL) qualifiers winners.

The Mandy Juruni-coached Oilers played for a 72-61 win over Burundi's Dynamo in an East African derby in the first Semi-Final of the East Division Elite 16 set to conclude on Sunday in Johannesburg.

It's the Semi-Finals day in Johannesburg where eight teams have gathered for the past five days, but only four remain in contention for the last three tickets for the next edition of the BAL.

Each of the eight teams played back-to-back three games, but in the end, only four of them remain in contention while three of the four teams head to the boardroom to reassess their performances.

It is the end of the road for Beira, who closed their Group B campaign in third place on a 1-2 mark, but for Oilers, work continues as they look to finish in the top three for another shot at the BAL. 

Eight games into the qualifier that will determine the last three slots for the fourth BAL season, six other teams still have chances of joining Cape Town Tigers in the Semi-Finals. 

The Oilers' second win in a row has helped the nine-time Uganda champions move a step closer to the Semi-Finals thanks to its current 2-0 mark.
