1º de Agosto (ANG)
Étoile du Sahel (TUN)
African Champions Cup 2011
Reigning champion 1º de Agosto failed to qualify for the Cup this year, but FIBA Africa has invited them to take part.
How do you regard this? Is this fair?

Thanks Rik for the updates
I do believe as usually is the case the competition will be between the Angolan teams (Petro Luanda and 1º de Agosto), Tunisia (Etoile de Sahel) and AS Sale from Morocco since they are playing on their home court.
The semis imo will be between Petro Luanda vs. 1º de Agosto from one side and Etoile de Sahel vs. Sale in the other matchup.
If Etoile de Sahel ends up winning against AS Sale in the semis they will be the Champions imo.
Those are my predictions too.

Looks like I jinxed 1º de AgostoCongrats for Etoile on winning the African Champions Cup
I knew they could do it
Finally a club challenges their dominance and I'm glad Étoile won. 1º de Agosto shouldn't even be in the tournament in the first place. I'd be very unfair if they had taken the title.
Congrats to Salé as well.

Tunisia's advancement in basketball over the last few years has come a long way and their results have been really impressive both regarding their NT as well as the results of their league teams (mind you that Etoile du Sahel last played in the African Champions Cup back in 2008 and they didn't participate in the last 2 editions).Looks like I jinxed 1º de Agosto
