No shock results tonight but 3 games that may end up as key matchups.
In the Great 8 Santa Booker had a hit and a miss in the game day preperation but with 13 more team rating and 1.2 more average player rating were too strong at home for Raging Seagull despite Tony Bonavia's 21 pts in 15 mins cameo at SG for the 'gulls. After a super-high paced 1st quarter that ended 45-37 the home team won by 144-121.
In the Big 8 Andorran derby, Dropito edged out Revolta Culé, B.C. by being slightly more efficient shooters and also being the home team in a very equal looking match-up statswise, but Revolta losing the 2nd quarter 31-12 to go in at the half 16 down was the real killer.
Top billing was Skytturnar putting extra effort into the game against Glasgow Blue Jays, being at home, putting out what looked like their maximum strength team with a team rating of 150, and getting rewarded by the Blue Jays winning by 87-62 with a 1st quarter that ended with them already 18 down. Only Vasily Krasnoslobodtsev for the Icelanders got into double figure efficiency where 6 players did for the Blue Jays. Glasgow Blue Jays are currently #1 in opponent FG% & opponent 3pt% so far this season, and #2 in opponent assists & #2 in opponent efficiency. With their only defeat being away and in double-overtime the Blue Jays are likely the betting favourites for a promotion to the ESL as things stand.
