II.3
O-Rod Rockin Rockets (#20) vs SG United (#7)
In recent history, this has been by far the toughest of the D2 leagues in Canada. O-Rod has been toiling away in this division for 11 seasons now and always puts a strong team on the floor only to get beat by somebody better. After an 18-4 season and sporting a $416 million payroll, they were able to upset the 1st place, #19 ranked and former Naismith mainstay Molson Canadians 83-77 in the semi-finals to get here. But I think things just got tougher.
SG United is probably the best team in D2. The $548 payroll and 21-1 regular season aside, they disposed of a tough former Naismith team and #11 ranked Brotherhood in the semi finals. They also won the regular season battle over O-Rod by 15 points playing on the road.
I just don't see anything stopping SG United from returning to Naismith after a 4 season absence.
