Brief Report :

The tournament was a celebration of basketball talent, drawing teams from different Symbiosis Institutes. It provided an arena for athletes to showcase their basketball prowess, camaraderie, and sportsmanship.

SCMS Hyderabad entered the tournament with a passionate team, eager to compete and excel. However, despite their determination and effort, the team faced formidable opponents and was regrettably eliminated in the first round. The games were intense and challenging, but our players displayed sportsmanship and gave their best on the court. We had faced one of the SIU Pune home institutes in SIIB, where in a tough fight due to the lack of our depth options we succumbed to a 21-11 loss.

The SIU Inter-Institute Basketball Tournament, despite the early elimination, was a memorable event for SCMS Hyderabad. It allowed our players to demonstrate their talent and glean important lessons in teamwork, resilience, and skill development. The selection of one player for SIU tryouts fills us with pride, and we are committed to supporting them in their future endeavors. We are eager to use this experience as a stepping stone for growth and success in future basketball competition.
