Another loss....but now has a clear direction on what to improve....is just that I have to sell some of my players first which i tried for 4 weeks already!

Unbelievable I hate OT games it throws my minutes off.

Recaps are forthcoming. I have tried twice already and been half way through and hit the wrong button and lost my recaps so for my own sanity I will get them done tomorrow.

Thanks for the suggestion.

1 of the limitations I'm having is that I'm trying to stick to a US born player.

NP at Phantoms

Nobody has really had an answer for the Phantoms this season and NP was not able to figure it out either. Both teams were firing away. NP came out with a lot of effort but the Phantoms rebounding edge and a slew of NP turnovers put this game out of reach for No Potential by the 3rd quarter. The Phantoms PG Brown drained 33 points and a huge 2nd quarter proved to be too much for NP. Phantoms 117 NP 90

Crank Dat at Dutchmen

Crank Dat has been coming on strong lately and his General Manager has been very busy jockeying players back and forth on the transfer list. One name that won't be on the transfer list any time soon is Junde the Wonde. He had 28 points this game and helped his team overcome a nice shooting performance for the Dutchmen guards. If there is an Achilles Heel to the Crank Dat team at the moment it may be free throws. They missed 15 this game alone. The bad news for the Dutchmen is that they also made 15 free throws which spelled victory tonight. Crank Dat 94 Dutchmen 90

Prov City at Crazy's

This has been a real rivalry games for the past few seasons and tonights game did not disappoint. Carmona came out hot tonight and ended the game with a game high 39 points. Cleveland had an answer for Carmona tonight but it took 5 different guards in double figures to make it happen. Barry who has been on a terror lately drained 28 to pace his squad. At the end of 4 quarters the game was tied at 100. Like a good prize fight both teams went for the knockout in the OT but it was a late bucket by Hinds that provided a final knockout punch to the Prov City faithful. This game would have ended as a TIE on paper but let's be honest this one came down to home court advantage and the Crazy's faithful will take it. Crazy's 114 Prov City 106

Challengers at VD's

The Challengers put some extra effort into their inside look tonight and it showed with Skalec draining 30 points and collecting 15 boards. The VD's boys looked to remain patient but it may have been too slow as they only made 24 total baskets as a team. Extra effort, rebounds and shooting 100% from the charity stripe spelled victory for the Challengers tonight. Challengers 79 VD's 61

Allstars at Tachenko

Both teams fired away from 3 pt land and both teams shot fairly well. Only one problem......Allstars had been anticipating Mayagoita and his inside presence and didn't come prepared to guard the shooters. Mayagoita got his 17 boards but it was putting 7 players into double digit scoring that was able to overcome Nalesso and Cruz's 54 combined points for the Allstars. The Allstars couldn't survive great scoring by the Tachenko guards in the 2nd and 4th and that did not end well. Tachenko 110 Allstars 96

Cats at Terrors

The Cats have not been shy regarding recent frustration in how their team has been playing. The Cats came out pushing early to score. The Terrors low post offense proved to be difficult for the Cats to deal with. Jansen came up big for the Terrors but it was a full team effort that brought victory for them tonight. The Bobcats are getting better but frustration is setting in with some. Terrors 106 Bobcats 92

Blasters at Champaign

Both these teams came out firing away and gave their fans a fun game to watch. Ichaso was unstoppable for the Blasters and drained 32 on Champaigns defense. Neither team shot well from a distance but a huge amount of fouls from Champaign and a huge 4th quarter finished off Champaign. Blasters 109 Champaign 85

Phakeouts at Flames

A shoutout goes to the Flames who managed to not lose by more then 50 tonight. Phakeouts 99 Flames 56

MVP Carmona 39 pts 9 assists

Big 8 18 wins
Great 8 14 wins

All things stay even with each side taking 4 games.

3 teams still left in the cup. Champaign, Blasters and Prov City..........congrats and represent III.4

Easy E Rock I calls em as I sees em lol. Nobody wants to see Carmona in the playoffs. :)

That win cost me I had to buy a guy for the defense against Carmona. Thanks alot. lol

Dutchmen at Prov City

Guards were going at it again in this one. Gagis came out firing for the Dutchmen and drained 31 but it was not enough because Carmona had 37. Many similarities in this game but a huge night of rebounding for the Prov City boys helped to seal the win on this one. Prov City 114 Dutchmen 99

VD's at Allstars

You would thing with the added effort the Allstars put into this one that they could have put up more then 9 points in the opening frame. Both teams struggled to make any 3 pointers but better rebounding and better shooting still put the VD's up at the end. VD's 77 Allstars 64

Tachenko at Crank dat

Another OT game boys. Tachenko came into this one looking to bang em down low and Crank Dat was firing away. Wait this just in somebody outscored Junde....luckily for Crank dat it was Nelson from his own team. Nelson was on fire as he drained 40 on the Tachenko defense. This game ultimately came down to foul shots. Tachenko gave up 39 free shots to Crank Dat and this one would have been over long before the OT had Crank Dat actually shot better then 50% from the line. Will this lack of ability from the line cost Crank Dat...........not so far. Crank Dat 104 Tachenko 99

Champaign at Challengers

Champaign has decided to concentrate on the cup and his season is evidence. Two different offenses one worked the other did not. Champaigns defense allowed almost all 8 of the Challengers players to reach double digits which never bodes well for the final score. Challengers 112 Champaign 70

Phantoms at Blasters

One still in the cup and one not.............and it showed. Both looked to fire away often. Phantoms put 4 guys in double digits and that was two more then the Blasters. Phantoms 80 Blasters 55

Flames at NP

Phizzzt that was the flame going out..................NP 105 Flames 34

Terrors at Phakeouts

Both teams looked to go inside...............problem only one team played defense. Terrors 92 Phakeouts 55

Crazy's at Bobcats

If not for the OT game this would have been the game of the night. Both teams played Jekel and Hyde quarters going back and forth by quarters. At the end of the 3rd it appeared Cleveland would have been done but sharp shooting in the 4th had the Crazy's back up with less then a minute to go. Timely baskets by the Bobcats put them back up for good and the added effort at home paid off as they grabbed one away from the Crazy's. Peszini was a beast again with 33 pts and 16 boards. Burgess also put 30 up for the Bobcats which helped offset the sharpshooting Crazy's.
Bobcats 113 Crazy's 110

MVP Nelson 40 pts

Big 8 21
Great 8 19

Great 8 closes the gap tonight

Michigan Blasters the sole survivor in the cup for III.4. congrats
