Hospitality must have been the last thing on the minds the Georgetown (GT ) Pioneers last Saturday night at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall when they blew away the Guyana United States Basketball Affiliates (GUBA) Rockers by 21 points in the first exhibition game of their Goodwill Tour.
The GUBA Rockers, who arrived in Guyana on Saturday morning to begin the inaugural US/Guyana Goodwill Tour – a tour aimed at aiding the development of basketball in Guyana – started their journey with a big loss to the GT Pioneers 26-47 in the exhibition game during the Guyana Amateur Basketball Association’s Bryden’s Second Division League.
The Rockers began the night on a warm note and presented each member of the Pioneers with tour souvenirs, but instead of showing their gratitude, the Pioneers got down to business and shot to an early 20-8 lead.
