The third annual Ayva
Cup Basketball Tournament continued last week at our university, in the
Main Campus Sports Hall. On Tuesday, November 29, both the women's and
men's teams played against METU. It turned out to be a day of victory
for Bilkent basketball and its supporters, with our teams winning both
their games, by scores of 43-36 (women) and 76-47 (men).
 In
the women's game, METU led during the first and second periods, but
Bilkent caught up during the third period with some accurate shooting.
Esin Arsan was Bilkent's highest scorer, with 9 points. After the end of
the game, coach Pınar Çınar stated that the women had won because they
believed they could win.
The Bilkent men had an
easier victory. They got off to a fast start, opening up a huge lead
over METU during the first period, 25-9.
They increased this to
56-33 during the third period, and continued to dominate throughout the
game. The highest scoring player for Bilkent was Kaan Maraş, with 14
points.
 A
relatively high number of fouls were committed by both teams in the
women's game: 29 by METU and 22 by Bilkent. Both men's teams committed
18 fouls. The main referee for both games was Caner Uncu, with Esra
Gülsoy as assistant referee in the women's game and Murat Özdervişoğlu
