1/3 of the season has been played, time to summarize what happened.
At the top
PeeJay Reds finished as the best team last and it's not surprising to see them being the only undefeated team. 7 wins with an average margin of 30 points, that's a statement to say they want to stay where they are.
Madzbeater keeps on improving, after finishing 4th in Season 31, 3rd in Season 32, here they are at the 2nd spot, looking solid and confident.
Malaysia Tigers are the big surprise so far! They currently lead the very challenging Big 8 conference with only 1 loss against KwaiWah. Not being in the national tournament, they look good to hold the top of their conference.
Behind them, there is a pack of legendary teams, KwaiWah, RedDevilz Basketball Club and The Eve of St Agnes lost only 2 games. They are all playing in the national tournament so their focus may be divided but they shouldn't be underestimated as one of them could be this season's winner.
In between
With 3 or 4 wins, the teams with a winning percentage around 50% are currently playing either to get the 4th spot and go to the playoffs or not to get relegated in Division II. MyBBTeam, come OWN me, Double Lee, D-Challenger and Too Cool are all used to MBBA fights and their goal will be to stay here for at least one more season.
Under the sink
The two winless teams Ryonan Raging Heat and Nova. look like the one who will directly travel to Division II.
Rampaging Bulls, Telok Air Tawar Fusion and Kelana Jaya Knights may fight during the playdowns to stay in MBBA but being out of the national tournament, they will put all their strengths in the league games.
The new MBBA look
After years of domination by 2 teams (i.e. KwaiWah and Nick Of Time), MBBA seems to be open due to a more homogeneous level. There had been 7 different MBBA winners over the past 8 seasons, only KwaiWah managed to win it twice (Seasons 27 and 29), it's possible that this season will crown another MBBA champion, how exciting!
