D.II.1 – Season 68: Day 18 Recap (June 7, 2025)
by Buzzer-Manager

Idiots and Hooligans Hit 130, Ostriches and Mildcats Dominate, and Wavy Gates Get Back on Track
The playoff storm is closing in—and on Day 18, the statement wins were loud. Village Idiots unleashed fury on southpaw, Hemet Hooligans dropped 130 on Big Forest, and Corntucky and Flying Ostriches bullied their way to convincing victories. The scoreboard was messy. The message? Time to separate contenders from collapse.

Idiots Obliterate southpaw army, Again
126–46. No typo. The Village Idiots unloaded on a collapsing southpaw squad and never looked back. Led by A. Pugh (22–10–6) and B. Dooley’s all-around gem (17–6–10), the Idiots posted a season-high 62 rebounds and 39 assists in what was pure domination. Three players had 3+ steals. It was basketball surgery.

Hooligans Hang 130 on Big Forest
S. Overton and T. Murrell lit up the box score again as the Hooligans steamrolled Big Forest 130–100. It was an offensive showcase, with Hemet playing fast, loose, and lethal. Martone’s rim protection for Big Forest? Nonexistent. The Hooligans are starting to look dangerous at the right time.

Flying Ostriches Blast the Mambas
The Ostriches soared past The White Mambas 129–84 behind D. Inceris’s monstrous 25 & 21 night—sharing MVP honors for the evening. It was pace, power, and poise from start to finish. This team’s ceiling is rising by the game.

Mildcats Maul Harbor City Storm
Corntucky clamped down on defense and buried Harbor City 106–81. V. Fraser went nuclear: 18 points, 19 boards, 4 steals, 4 blocks—and shared MVP honors. Add T. McDermott’s 11 assists and Fraser’s ironman 48-minute shift, and you’ve got a two-way clinic.

TAR HEELS #1 Smash Irregulars in Rivalry Rout
TAR HEELS #1 got revenge in emphatic fashion, crushing Baker Street 109–74. The Heels were crisp and aggressive—Irregulars just looked stunned. T. Gibbs fouled out with 6 personals and bottomed out with a 5.0 rating. Momentum shift? Possibly.

Wavy Gates Calm the Storm with Statement Win
Needing a bounce-back, Wavy Gates crushed SomeTeam 89–61 behind elite shot-blocking (15 team blocks) and G. Martone’s 6 swats alone. Defense turned into offense, and the champs looked like champs again—for now.

Smallfries Hold Off Kings Knights in Showdown
Another marquee matchup, another Smallfries win. N. Neside dropped 33 to lead all scorers, and the Friez held off a scrappy Kings Knights squad 121–112. No gaudy defense—just offense, firepower, and playoff poise. Friez are 2–0 this week vs playoff-caliber teams.

Wasted Potential Handle Blue Ocean Easily
Wasted Potential rebounded with a clean 109–85 win over Blue Ocean. I. Grikpedis and L. Pelowski both drained 5 threes, as WP kept the pace and found their groove again. Blue Ocean’s inconsistency is becoming a concern.

Key Takeaways
• Village Idiots just posted the biggest margin of victory in weeks.
• Hemet Hooligans have now scored 125+ in back-to-back games.
• Smallfries are officially a juggernaut—Neside’s been untouchable.
• Corntucky’s inside-out dominance is becoming a real playoff threat.
• Wavy Gates remembered who they are.
• southpaw, Mambas, and SomeTeam—blown out, again. Trouble.

Final Word:
It was a bloodbath for the bottom feeders and a flex-fest for the contenders. Idiots, Hooligans, Ostriches, Friez, Mildcats—they’re all peaking. Meanwhile, southpaw, Mambas, and SomeTeam have officially flatlined.

One thing’s clear heading into the home stretch: the playoff-bound are no longer just winning—they’re sending messages.

Hey everyone… can we chill on making moves, you all are going too hard lately..🤣

Yeah really haha, every time I log in I'm scared of what the latest league headline will say

You and me both lol!! Good luck over there in the bloodbath

You guys are freaking me out over here. I may be on a one-way trip to D.III soon.

Isaiah started this all with his team overhaul, we just followed to match up in this bloodbath for the title

Too much competition in the Great 8... Everyone's loading up for playoffs and I'm just sitting here vibing

Some day the league will balance out

D.II.1 – Season 68: Day 19 Recap (June 10, 2025)
by Buzzer-Manager

Flying Ostriches Torch southpaw, Mikos Drops 44, and Draganov Delivers a 20-Assist Masterpiece
If Day 18 was a playoff warning shot, Day 19 was a full-on barrage. Flying Ostriches put on a clinic, TAR HEELS #1’s Mikos set the nets on fire, and V. Draganov carved his name into the assist gods’ scrolls. Meanwhile, Kings Knights slowed the Idiots, and Wavy Gates looked every bit the defending champs again.

Ostriches Obliterate southpaw in Record Night
Flying Ostriches incinerated southpaw army 134–37 in what can only be described as merciless basketball. They led in every category: points, rebounds (70!), assists (39), steals (13), and blocks (10). V. Draganov authored the stat line of the season: 38–8–20, earning MVP honors with a 59 efficiency. This was historic. Southpaw army, on the other hand? Just historically bad.

Mikos’ 44 Pushes TAR HEELS Past SomeTeam
No drama—just dominance. P. Mikos exploded for 44 points as the Heels cruised to an 89–71 win. He drained 6 threes and needed only 27 shots. While SomeTeam showed flashes, Mikos made sure they never got close.

Irregulars Survive the Hooligans in Wild Finish
Baker Street outlasted the surging Hooligans 111–105 in a game that could’ve gone either way. H. Sotelo was a monster inside with 29–25–5 and 5 blocks, logging 48 ironman minutes. This one had playoff vibes—and the Irregulars passed the test.

Wavy Gates Blow Away Harbor City Storm
The champs looked the part again, walloping Harbor City 100–60. Every quarter was a mismatch. Martone and company dominated defensively, while the offense found its rhythm without overextending. Back-to-back big wins = a real resurgence?

Smallfries Stay Hot, Handle Wasted Potential
Smallfries kept their machine running, beating WP 94–80 behind another strong N. Neside showing (28–9–3 with 2 steals). Wasted Potential hung around early but faded down the stretch. The Friez are humming into playoff form.

Kings Knights Cool the Idiots with Balanced Win
No headline-grabbing individual stat lines—just cold, calculated execution. Kings Knights beat Village Idiots 102–85 by limiting their pace and exploiting mismatches. It wasn’t sexy, but it was sharp. And the Knights are quietly stacking résumé wins.

Blue Ocean Torpedo the Mambas
After a disappointing loss last round, Blue Ocean rebounded by obliterating the Mambas 129–86. O. Espí was outstanding: 28–20–4 with 2 blocks, earning Top PF honors. This one was over before halftime.

Mildcats Dominate Big Forest Again
Corntucky continued their rise with a 101–82 win over Big Forest. T. McDermott (6 threes) stretched the floor, while the defense racked up 13 steals. V. Fraser did his usual damage in the paint, and Big Forest never found a rhythm.

Key Takeaways
• Flying Ostriches may have just dropped the performance of the season.
• Mikos is a walking bucket—44 points, effortless.
• Sotelo is the anchor the Irregulars need come crunch time.
• Kings Knights are winning without needing fireworks.
• Smallfries are officially playoff-proof.
• southpaw is in absolute freefall—another sub-40 game.
• Blue Ocean isn’t done yet.
• The bottom tier keeps getting steamrolled.

The Ugly
• H. Hanning and the entire southpaw army—season-worst showing
• Village Idiots and Mambas both fading fast when it matters most

Final Word:
The playoff elite are clicking—Smallfries, TAR HEELS, Ostriches, Knights, Mildcats. Meanwhile, southpaw and Mambas have turned into league punchlines.

Three game days remain. And with each blowout, buzzer-beater, and bounce-back, the postseason picture gets clearer… and crueler.
