Top Ten Reasons to Watch #FIBAMicroCup

MANGILAO (Guam) – Ahead of the FIBA Micronesian Cup 2022, we breakdown the top ten reasons to get along and watch the men’s and women’s action or tune in via livestream.

In no particular order, other than to list the reasons to be pumped for the #FIBAMicroCup…

[orderedList] Youthful FSM Women’s Team – this cohort of basketballers will provide a whole lot of youthful entertainment on court with several members still at high school and fit enough to run all day and night. Northern Marianas Island Women’s Rebuild – a new era of NMI Women will be taking to the court with new leadership on and off the court which will keep opposition teams guessing. The Micro Under-Dog – the new FSM Men’s Team assembled from Guam will be a huge unknown, but will no doubt bring excitement to the court. University of Guam Calvo Field House – an absolute ripping stadium now equipped with state-of-the-art livestreaming facilities from Synergy; you won’t want to miss a minute of the action. Reigning Men’s Champions – we know how good the Guam Men’s Team are following their recent success, but with new players on the roster, do they have the depth to continue their dominance in the region? Palau Women’s Experience – several players are familiar with Guam playing conditions, can that, combined with their combination of youth, experience, and new recruits, make them unbeatable? Dynamic Guam Women’s Unit – another young dynamic team who are rebuilding and eager to test themselves at a regional level under new coach, Arleen Mad. Will consistency be key for the NMI Men? – with a relatively unchanged line-up from the 2016 Micronesia Games, the men from the Northern Marianas Islands will be moving the ball faster than you can say #FIBAMicroCup. The new Palau Men’s line-up – falling just short of a podium place at the 2018 Micronesian Games, the men for Palau will be a surprise packet definitely worth tuning in to watch. Show us some basketball action in Oceania – following a two-year hiatus in the Oceania region due to the pandemic, basketball is back! [/orderedList]
