Wednesday, July 8 was South Sudan's day — full stop. They ran Bahamas out of the gym not once, but TWICE, winning 98-69 and 99-88 in a home doubleheader that should have every team in the league taking notes. The engine behind it all? ID Mamba, who put up back-to-back double-doubles: 35 points and 14 assists in Game 2, and 28 points with 12 assists in Game 1 — an absolutely absurd two-game stretch. ITS BLike was the anchor on the glass, hauling in 14 rebounds in Game 2 and 12 in Game 1, both double-doubles. Bahamas tried to make things interesting — ISpotUpCamI dropped a double-double of 31 points and 14 assists in the second game — but South Sudan had too much firepower at home. That's now two straight wins for South Sudan after a rough patch, and they are making some noise.

Over in the Columbia-Belgium series, it was a split — and what a wild one. Columbia took Game 1, 85-82, with EthePG running the show for a double-double of 23 points and 22 assists. But Belgium came storming back in Game 2, winning 90-81 behind IIIIGloc's 35-point, 13-assist double-double performance. What makes that Game 2 story even better: EthePG put up ANOTHER double-double — 17 points and 24 assists — and it still wasn't enough. Belgium outscored Columbia 30-24 in the fourth quarter to seal it. Credit Praise Creep too, who grabbed 12 boards in Game 2 and 7 in Game 1 to anchor Belgium's interior.

The split keeps things spicy in the standings. Columbia sits at 14-4, but Belgium just grabbed a signature home win to snap a skid. Meanwhile, South Sudan is rolling on a two-game win streak and climbing. Argentina is also quietly on a three-game win streak — this league is tightening up fast.
