Mo Soluade (’95) Has Career Night in the Euroleague

By Sam Neter on March 20, 2015

Mo Soluade had a career night in the Euroleague on Thursday as Unicaja Malaga suffered a 99-75 loss at the hands of CSKA Moscow.

The 1995 born talent saw just short of 19 minutes in the game (career-high), scoring a career-high 8 points including a buzzer beating three at the end of the first period (video below), adding 1 rebound and a career-high 3 steals while going 3/7 from the field.

During and after the game he received plaudits on Twitter for his performance.

Mo Soluade: 8 points (1/3 on 2s, 2/4 on 3s), 3 steals, 1 reb, 1 TO in 18:54. Great effort on D, fearless on O. Very good game for the 19-y/o

Triple de Mo Soluade. Base/escolta de 1995. Físico portentoso y muy buena pinta. Con Granger y Stefansson Out puede aportar muchísimo.

Unicaja dropped to 2-9 after its fourth official loss against CSKA this season and is all but mathematically out of chances to advance in the competition.

The 19 year Soluade, who will no doubt be involved with the GB U20s this summer providing he is available, took to Twitter after the game to post a photo with him and CSKA point guard Milos Teodosic.

After that performance I couldn't leave without a picture with Milos Teodosic! Also, Happy Birthday! pic.twitter.com/pd5Bzi0JVp

Soluade also had a solid outing against CSKA in November, as he scored 5 points in just 8 minutes but suffered a 95-85 defeat.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
