Jahorina did its damage early and never let go. Behind a 50-point first half, Jahorina beat Student m:tel 83-75 on January 31, 2026 at Sportska Dvorana Peki, improving on an 11-4 record and continuing a form line that’s been defined by quick starts and timely responses.
Game flow: first-half avalanche, second-half resistance
The separation came fast. Jahorina opened with a 26-18 first quarter, then doubled down in the second (24-17) to take a 50-35 lead into halftime. Student m:tel steadied after the break, but the early deficit left little margin.
The third quarter flipped the script: Student m:tel edged Jahorina 18-14, trimming the gap to 64-53. The visitors kept pressing in the fourth, winning it 22-19, but the hole from the opening 20 minutes was too deep. Jahorina closed out the 83-75 win without needing overtime.
Turning point: the second quarter stretch that set the terms
In a game that tightened late, the second quarter functioned as the hinge. Jahorina’s 24-17 edge in the period pushed the lead from eight to 15 at the break, forcing Student m:tel into a chase game the rest of the night. Even with a stronger finish, the visitors were effectively playing the math of a comeback from halftime onward.
By the numbers
Halftime: Jahorina 50, Student m:tel 35
Final: Jahorina 83, Student m:tel 75
Quarter scores: Jahorina led 26-18 after Q1, 50-35 at half, 64-53 after Q3, and won 83-75.
What it means
For Jahorina, this was a clean example of controlling game state: win the early quarters, absorb the opponent’s best punch late, and keep the finish line in sight. The 14-point first-half margin held up even as Student m:tel won both second-half quarters, a reminder that Jahorina’s strongest stretches can decide games before the closing minutes arrive.
For Student m:tel, the response after halftime was real, but the opening 20 minutes dictated everything that followed. Winning the fourth quarter 22-19 showed they could generate late momentum; the challenge is getting to that level earlier, before the scoreboard forces urgency.
