Colo Colo is having an impressive campaign in Liga DOS basketball. The white team extended its undefeated streak to thirteen games after the solid victory against Truenos de Talca by 78 to 62. With this, it remains the comfortable leader of the category and is heading without problems to the playoffs.
It was a duel where the Alba defense once again shone. At the end of the first half of the game they had only received 25 points, demonstrating the strength that the team has achieved in that department. The Cacique, yes, was not completely fine on offense, something that changed in the third quarter.
In that period, Ernesto Menchaca’s team made clear differences, winning by 24 to 16. With this, the score was already 58 to 41. The comeback for the fourth quarter was practically impossible. Truenos de Talca showed improvement, even winning 21-20 that quarter, but it was too late.
Colo Colo had the great figure of its foreign reinforcement, Devaughn Jenkins, who registered with 23 points. Diego Valenzuela was the leader in the rebounding section, with 9, while Simón Fernández was very lucid in assists, achieving 10 of them.

Valenzuela and Jenkins continue to show themselves as the main players of this team, especially in offensive matters. Valenzuela averages 18.8 points and 9.3 rebounds in 26 minutes played, while Jenkins averages 14.8 points and 6 rebounds in 28 minutes of play.
Both joined the team midway through the campaign and have given a plus to a quintet that was already doing very well in the competition. The projections, in this way, indicate that Colo Colo is getting closer to returning to the national basketball elite after 10 years of waiting.
The basket maker chief, with this triumph adds 13 wins and no losses. Those following him are Sergio Ceppi, Boston College and Stadio Italiano. All of them have a record of eight wins and five losses, far behind the line reached by the albos.
Popular has nine regular season games left before the playoffs. His next test will be against Arturo Prat, at home, in the La Pintana Sports Gym. The rival comes to that match in a very bad moment, since they are absolute bottom of the division, with just two wins in 13 games played.
