PUR – BSN dedicates 2010 season to Jenaro Marchand

SAN JUAN (Baloncesto Superior Nacional) – Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN) of Puerto Rico announced in their press conference that the 2010 BSN season will be dedicated to FIBA Americas Secretary General Emeritus Jenaro ‘Tuto’ Marchand.

The regular season tips off Thursday with Atleticos de San German visiting defending champions Vaqueros de Bayamón.

Marchand served as President of the Puerto Rican Basketball Federation and of FIBA Americas and was also Secretary General and Vice-President of FIBA.

His association with the BSN has seen him involved in just about every facet of the league as he was a player, referee and coach.

“I led this institution from 1978 until 1987. Some say that I was there for 50 years, I was only (there) for nine,” Marchand said during the press conference.

“I have been in basketball, especially with FIBA, in different positions. They have given me many recognitions and I have a room full of them, but one was missing.

“The organisation that has made me more proud is this one. I am honoured, thank you," he added.

The 10 teams that will participate in the 2010 BSN season are: Atléticos de San Germán, Cangrejeros de Santurce, Capitanes de Arecibo, Gallitos de Isabela, Indios de Mayagüez, Leones de Ponce, Mets de Guaynabo, Piratas de Quebradillas and Vaqueros de Bayamón.

The regular season consists of 20 games, with the eight best sides qualifying for the playoffs. The qualified teams face each other in the quarter-finals which use a seeded system (1 vs 8; 2 vs 7; 3 vs 6; 4 vs. 5) and are played in best-of-five games series. The semi-finals and finals use the best-of-seven format.

Bayamon win pre-season tournament

Vaqueros de Bayamon defeated Caciques de Humacao 71-65 to win the BSN pre-season tournament.

Christian Dalmau scored 22 points and Carmelo Antrone Lee added 20 to lead the way for Vaqueros.

Jose Guitian had 18 points for Caciques and William Orozco chipped in with 10.

In a game played before the final, Mets de Guaynabo edged out Leones de Ponce 85-83 behind some balanced scoring. Carlos Escalera had a team-best 23 points, Marcus Fizer added 17 while Angel Figueroa and Antoine Walker finished with 13 each.

Leones were led by DerMarr Johnson who had a game-high 34 points. Bobby Joe Hatton followed with 17, Gabriel Colón and Manuel Narvaez had 11 and 10 respectively.

I just read on Yahoo! Sports that Antoine Walker signed to play with Guaynabo. Is that true? I read that he was only given a one-month contract because they're afraid he's out of shape.

Yes, true, he already played with some very good stats, double-double I believe. K2 get over here!

PUR - Bayamon clinch first win of season

BAYAMÓN (BSN) - Vaqueros de Bayamón eged out Gallitos de Isabela 87-83 to take their win of the season.

The signing of import Robert "Tractor" Traylor paid immediate dividends as he had 18 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks to help the defending champions improve to 1-2 with this road win.

Christian Dalmau had a game-high 30 points in the winning cause while DeMarco Johnson added 13.

Devin Green had a team-best 22 for Gallitos.

Vaqueros got off to a quick start, taking a 10-2 lead three minutes into the game. They were up 26-18 by the end of the opening period with Traylor and Carmelo Lee accounting for six points each.

In the second quarter, Vaqueros continued to rely on some balanced scoring and an 11-2 spurt saw them go up 37-20 with 7:18 left in the half. They maintained that cushion for a 54-37 score at the break, by which stage Traylor had 12 points, Johnson 11 and Dalmau 9.

The hosts though didn’t give up and opened the third quarter with a 13-3 run to get within 57-50 on a free-throw by Green.

Vaqueros made some defensive adjustments and managed to stay in front the rest of the way thanks to their depth and efficiency inside.

Darnell Hinson and Shawn Pruitt each had 19 for Gallitos.
