NBBA Season 69 – Day 11 Recap (Saturday, August 16, 2025)
by Buzz Beat Daily

Mill City Thunder Grind Out Road Win, TarTeam and ETBU Deliver Blowouts
Day 11 was defined by two extremes — one of the NBBA’s rarest feats as Mill City Thunder stole a road win at Kings Knights, and two historic demolitions with TarTeam and ETBU Tigers posting triple-digit blowouts. Elsewhere, contenders like Stark Contrast, Splash Gang, and 10inch Vertical kept pace with comfortable victories.

Mill City Thunder Outlast Kings Knights on the Road
In a clash of future NT stars, Q. Quiroz and G. Short squared off for the first time as rivals. Mill City prevailed 83–71 in one of the season’s toughest environments, grinding out a defensive battle to climb to 7–4. For Kings Knights, the loss at home drops them to 5–6, highlighting how crucial protecting their arena will be in the playoff race.

TarTeam Obliterates Resurrected Fury
TarTeam authored one of the most lopsided results in recent NBBA memory with a 153–19 home victory. J. Wheatley led the charge, drilling 8 threes and finishing with a league-best 48 efficiency. TarTeam piled up 53 assists and 18 steals in a total dismantling that left Fury winless at 0–11.

ETBU Tigers Maul Cavaliers
ETBU stormed back above .500 with a 135–39 destruction of Virginia Cavaliers. Kangshan owned the glass with 22 rebounds as the Tigers suffocated their opponents from start to finish. The Cavaliers’ offense sputtered badly, dropping them to 6–5 and raising concerns about their consistency down the stretch.

Stark Contrast Controls Visionaries
Stark Contrast stayed perfect at home, defeating the Visionaries 97–75. Opportunistic play after in-game injuries to the visitors helped Stark maintain control throughout, improving to 11–0 and remaining the NBBA’s only unbeaten team.

Splash Gang Keeps Dogs at Bay
Splash Gang protected their home floor with a 106–77 win over Beware of Dogs, using their guard-heavy pace to build an early cushion they never surrendered.

LA Lions Back to 5–6 with Win over Imperials
The LA Lions took care of business against the tanking Mos Eisley Imperials, winning 113–78. The victory pushes LA to 5–6 as they continue to fight for playoff positioning.

HumanFund Survives Silverbacks Push
HumanFund had to work harder than expected but closed strong in a 99–86 win over the Silverbacks. The result helps them keep pace in the Great 8’s playoff hunt.

10inch Vertical Crushes Flashover
10inch Vertical flexed their power in a 133–45 blowout, dominating the boards and suffocating Flashover into one of the lowest outputs of the season.

Key Takeaways
• Mill City Thunder’s road win over Kings Knights underscores how rare and valuable away victories are in the NBBA.
• TarTeam and ETBU Tigers delivered historic blowouts, exposing major offensive struggles for Fury and Cavaliers.
• Stark Contrast remains the only undefeated squad at 11–0.
• The middle playoff pack is tightening, with several teams jostling between 5–6 and 7–4 records.

Final Word
Day 11 showcased both the grind and the glamour of NBBA basketball — Mill City’s defensive road victory proving the value of toughness, and TarTeam’s record-breaking explosion highlighting the league’s offensive firepower. As the standings tighten, every win at home — and especially on the road — grows more decisive.

NBBA Season 69 – Day 12 Recap (Tuesday, August 19, 2025)
by Buzz Beat Daily

TarTeam Hands Stark First Loss, Mill City Dominates, Knights and ETBU Win on the Road
Day 12 delivered fireworks across the NBBA. TarTeam seized control of the Great 8 with a statement rout of Stark Contrast, ending their unbeaten run. Mill City Thunder controlled Splash Gang at home, while both Kings Knights and ETBU Tigers achieved the league’s rarest currency — away wins. Elsewhere, the Cavaliers bounced back, Visionaries held down their home floor, and Beware of Dogs finally broke through with their first victory of the season.

Mill City Thunder Crush Splash Gang at Home
Mill City controlled all phases in a 103–56 blowout over Splash Gang. Their 62–35 rebounding advantage set the tone, suffocating Splash’s guard-heavy pace. The defending champions improved to 8–4, sharpening their form at the season’s midpoint.

Kings Knights Claim Road Win at Imperials
Kings Knights went on the road and defeated the Mos Eisley Imperials 112–92. Behind G. Short’s relentless play, the Knights climbed to 6–6. For the Imperials, still in soft-tank mode, this was another missed chance to play spoiler.

TarTeam Dismantles Stark Contrast
The night’s marquee matchup turned into a blowout as TarTeam crushed Stark Contrast 139–72. J. Gardiner poured in 31 points, while H. Slater added 19 points and 13 rebounds. TarTeam now sits atop the Great 8 at 10–2, while Stark falls to 11–1 but remains the Big 8 leader.

Cavaliers Roll Fury
Virginia Cavaliers took care of business at home, hammering Resurrected Fury 115–53. W. Saucedo stuffed the stat sheet with 14 points, 24 rebounds, and 4 blocks. The Cavaliers moved to 7–5, while Fury remains winless at 0–12.

ETBU Tigers Tough on the Road
ETBU silenced the Flashover crowd in an 89–64 win, the second away triumph of the night. Anchored by L. Varner’s defense, the Tigers improved to 7–5, further strengthening their playoff push.

Visionaries Defend Home Floor vs LA Lions
Visionaries held off the LA Lions 93–77 with balanced play and inside strength. The result drops LA to 5–7, while the Visionaries improve to 8–4 and remain right in the playoff mix.

Silverbacks Muscle Past 10inch Vertical
In a physical home battle, the Silverbacks beat 10inch Vertical 88–75. Interior dominance and timely baskets secured a much-needed victory for the Silverbacks.

Beware of Dogs Claim First Win
The Dogs finally snapped their skid with a stunning 115–82 home win over HumanFund. O. Denton erupted for 53 points and 12 threes in one of the best individual performances of the season. The Dogs improve to 1–11, notching their long-awaited breakthrough.

Key Takeaways
• TarTeam ends Stark’s undefeated run and takes control of the Great 8 at 10–2.
• Both Kings Knights and ETBU Tigers delivered rare away wins.
• Mill City continues to round into championship form at 8–4.
• Beware of Dogs finally crack the win column behind O. Denton’s monster 53-point night.

Final Word
Day 12 marked turning points at the top and bottom of the standings. TarTeam sent a clear message with their demolition of Stark, while Kings Knights and ETBU reminded everyone how precious away wins are. And with the Dogs finally tasting victory, no team remains winless — proof that on any night in the NBBA, surprises are always possible.

There are only 6 NBBA teams left in the tournament.

Round 7:

Mill City Thunder @ CA Foreigners (II.2)
The LA Lions @ Tasty Tardsicles (II.4)
Flashover vs. Deportivo Saprissa (III.10)
TarTeam vs. AZ Sunburn (III.13)
Splash Gang @ SLC Fiends (III.14)
Virginia Cavaliers @ Mighty Spartans (IV.3)

Pretty favorable draws for everyone with zero NBBA matchups. Likely means all 6 will make it to the round of 32 on Thursday.

I did not expect 3 NBBA teams to get eliminated last night, looks like Stark and Silverbacks thought they could get away with partial lineups and it came back to bite them. Then Human Fund played close to their full strength squad but still lost to a strong d2 team on the road. Can't get too cute trying to win league games and stay in the cup at this time of the season

Yeah I was surprised as well to see that many teams fall out this last round as we had no D1 on D1 action.

I was another team that went down as well, making it four. I lost to a last second three pointer … My fault though, I need to stop GDP guessing when at home. It sucks to miss the ASW round cup game…

It’s gonna be interesting to see from the left over teams who will take it as you Tony or TarZip look like good contenders for it. Plus, you can never count out Plasma as well. I guess it’ll come down to how the match maker treats you guys.
