Traditionally, every week we bring you a list of the top former Bearcats players who continue their career in pro basketball.


   #1. Chris-Ebou Ndow (6'7''-F-93, graduated '18, plays pro in Norway) led Kongsberg to a victory over the sixth-ranked Tromso (12-14) crushing them 105-81 in the Norwegian BLNO on Saturday night. He was MVP of the game. Ndow scored 27 points (!!!) and grabbed 8 rebounds in 33 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his first season in pro basketball. Kongsberg Miners (23-3) is placed first in the BLNO. It was his team's fourth consecutive victory in a row. They will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical. It's Ndow's first year with the team. Ndow has individually a very good season with high stats. He averages 20.2ppg, 9.8rpg, 2.6apg and 2.0spg.

   #2. Justin Pitts (5'10''-PG-94, graduated '18, plays in Spain) was the major contributor in a HLA Alicante's victory against the fourth-ranked Zornotza (13-10) 91-78 in the Spanish LEB Silver (third division) in Wednesday night's game. Pitts scored 21 points, grabbed 5 rebounds and dished 5 assists; not bad, considering it's only his first season in pro basketball. HLA Alicante (19-4) is placed first in East group. It was his team's ninth consecutive victory in a row. It's Pitts' first year with the team. Pitts has relatively good stats this season 12.9ppg, 1.4rpg, 3.5apg and 1.8spg in 18 games he played so far.

   #3. Elijah Allen (6'5''-G/F-89, graduated '12, currently in Germany), who plays in the German ProA (second division) could not help one of league's weakest teams Walter Tigers Tuebingen (10-13) to beat Chemnitz (4-13). Allen scored 6 points in 22 minutes. Walter Tigers Tuebingen was badly defeated 98-80 on the road by the higher-ranked Chemnitz (#11). It was Walter Tigers Tuebingen's first loss after three consecutive victories. This season Allen averages 8.5ppg and 3.4rpg. He is a naturalized German.

   #4. Deshaun Cooper (5'8''-PG-91, graduated '14, plays pro in Germany) contributed to Duesseldorf's victory against the fifth-ranked Dorsten (14-7) 85-76 in the German Regionalliga (fourth division) on Saturday night.
