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 win means that Dynamo are the first team to benefit from an Elite 16 wild card to qualify to the BAL Finals, and more importantly, they have become the first Burundian side to join the coveted BAL.

Nkosinathi Sibanyoni, known in South Africa basketball circles was the star of the show, keeping his side in the match with a game-high 21 rebounds and 5 blocks while scoring 14 points in 36 minutes

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.

A clash that determined JCB's fate in the East Division Elite 16 went to the wire as the Zimbabwe champions refused to go home empty-handed, but beating COSPN proved mission impossible.
