Thanks for the confidence, I could be the dark horse. It really depends upon my teams health right now, which is ugly. Two starters including my leading scorer are out of action. I had to go purchase a veteran pg to help with depth. If everybody is healthy come playoff time and I keep a playoff position I could play spoiler.

Hopefully your players heal up by playoff time. Seems like none of the playoff teams/contenders can afford to tank a game at this point, except for Philadelphia Flight; so we can't protect our players from injury.

Bulldogs had me down double digits in the first half, so yea I don't want to play Cal in the playoffs. Toledo hasn't lost much at all since he replaced a bot earlier in the season so he scares me. Seattle just beat Boston so he scares me, and Boston scares me the most for obvious reasons. Basically I wish I was in the Great 8. I think the playoffs will be very competitive in both conferences however.

The Flight catch a break, as tonight's loss knocks Hollow (the only other Great 8 team with a positive point differential) out of the playoffs. With the other three playoff teams apparently on auto-pilot, the Flight path (ha ha) to the finals seems clear.

No change in the Big 8 picture tonight. The only suspense was in the 3/4 seeding, where Cal and Toledo were close in point differential. But, unsurprisingly, Cal (which already had the inside track) blew out the new guy, then Toledo made the whole point moot by losing to Boston. Toledo had a huge point diff edge on Seattle, so Seattle's win won't be enough to secure the #4 seed.

Boston/Cal is easily the most compelling 1st-round matchup. Cal beat Boston 88-74 on Tuesday and is 12-2 since chrisbale took the reins. Boston finished the season 19-3 but has suffered two late losses (Seattle as well as Cal) since handing UCR its only loss of the year. I'm as curious as anyone which Boston team will show up on Tuesday.

UCR and Philly are big first-round favorites. Indiana-Newark might be interesting, if anyone cared-- both teams' owners have been idle for over a month.
