SBI enters final

State Bank of India entered the final of the Ghousuddin memorial basektball tournament, organised by CCOB, with a 68-65 win over City College Old Boys at City College.

CCOB led by eight points in the first quarter and increased it to 11 by the end of second quarter.

Subbaiah and Mohd. Rizwan put the bankmen back in the game with an excellent display and it was a phase which also saw the CCOB boys miss some easy scoring opportunities.

In the second session, international Harikrishna Prasad chipped in with crucial points with good support from Subbaiah.

Both of them scored of the drive-ins and rebounds consistently.

Though CCOB fought back well in the final quarter to reduce the lead considerably, they erred by committing fouls which saw the bankmen capitalise on the free throws to pick three crucial points in a row in the dying seconds to clinch the issue.

SBI 68 (Subbaiah 20, Harikrishna Prasad 13, P.B. Srinath 11) bt CCOB 65 (Lokesh 16, Sandeep Yadav 10).
