Regular Season Round 9: Melbourne Utd - Adelaide 81-80

Date: October 26, 2025
Second-ranked Adelaide 36ers (5-2) were very close to win a game against leader United (9-0) in Melbourne on Sunday. United managed to secure only one-point victory 81-80. However their fans expected easier game. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Adelaide 36ers. It was a good game for Dutch center Jesse Edwards (211-2000, college: WVU) who saved his team from a defeat with 25 points and 7 rebounds (perfect from the field making all ten shots !!!). New Zealand-Irish Finn Delany (200-1995, college: SW Baptist) contributed with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field) for the winners. United's coach Dean Vickerman used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. American forward Zylan Cheatham (203-1995, college: Arizona St.) answered with a double-double by scoring 21 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) and the other American import guard Bryce Cotton (182-1992, college: Providence, agency: Pensack Sports) added 22 points and 6 assists in the effort for Adelaide. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. United have an impressive series of nine victories in a row. Melbourne Utd maintains first place with 9-0 record. Adelaide at the other side keeps the second position with two games lost. They share it with SE Melbourne. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
