Barracudas hand champs their 1st defeat of season.

THE Brunei Barracudas avoided a triple whammy at the hands of defending champions, the Philippine Patriots, with a 71-56 upset in their Asean Basketball League (ABL) match at the Indoor Stadium of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex in Berakas last night.

It was Ramsey Williams that stepped up with a game-high of 23 points for the Barracudas and Chris Commons poured in 20.

On the other hand, the Patriots were missing the presence of their second import as their bench failed to step up in the encounter.

It seemed like only Ernesto Billones came out to play as he notched 19 points while the Patriots lone import Donald Little had a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds to a losing cause.
