What a battlefield the Core house arena is , where my birds visit the Arrelles in a tough match up . 39- 41 in favour of the home side at the half time break. I give my hawks a slight edge in the second half , i think il pull the W out by about 4 points.

End of third quarter its Irvine Blackhawks 56 - 52 The Arrelles. Hawks were held scoreless for 6 minutes in the 3rd , but their D stepped it up and gives them a 4 point lead. The Arrelles in major fould trouble here also. Should be a safe hawks win now.

I seem to have no luck with the tournament, year in, year out! Got three seeded teams this year and players shared minutes this week so had to play 3 players, hopefully I'll have better luck next year.
Great thread by the way guys!

Some interesting fixtures as you'd expect at this stage of the Cup. Its difficult to make predictions without knowing who is really trying or not, so I won't bother, sorry.

Having said that I think Nathaniel Team could easily upset EBBL team ZALIAS KALNAS in their game. I've played both (never beaten either) so I know both teams.

My own game, thankfully at home, sees my Durham Wasps host Sabre of Valiente. At first glance it looks like an even tie between two Div II teams. However, Sabre were in the EBBL last year and have a roster full of much more expensive players than the hosts. They run a LI offence, with a big lineup and will be hard to beat, if they really are trying to win. Home advantage helps the Wasps, possibly an edge in enthusiasm too, so there's hope. It might come down to the two SFs.

Not a good start for me , tried to be to clever tactically instead of just getting fundamentals right here.

2nd quarter has been absolutely brutal for us , cannot buy a basket and we are shooting horrible , you cant beat a high school team shooting like this never mind one of the best teams in the country.

okay so my boys are down 47-27 at the half against a very strong team , if you told me my team would shoot 9-43 from the field and only be down 20 at the half id have taken it , defensively we are getting results but we need to improve offensively , we need to punish Los Mikitos bench players but their bench has been awesome so far. Only positive here is my players are getting to the line often . Full time prediction 86 -63
