Ben Mbala efficient as Cameroon routs Equatorial Guinea in Afrobasket Qualifiers


Ben Mbala had himself a game during Cameroon’s 90-58 decimation of Equatorial Guinea in the 2021 FIBA Afrobasket Qualifiers, Saturday morning (Manila time) in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

The two-time UAAP Most Valuable Player had 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting to go along with five rebounds and four steals.

It was a dominant outing by the former La Salle Green Archer and the rest of Cameroon against Equatorial Guinea.

Cameroon was unrelenting all throughout the game, leading 31-16 early. Cameroon, the 65th-ranked team in the world, led by as much as 36 points against their lowly-ranked opponents.

Mbala capped the game with a thunderous windmill jam.
