Round 11 of the TV game show (Match Prediction Contest) is complete, with a convincing home win by Slashing Dragons, 108-75. It was an absolutely dominate perimeter defense display from the Dragons. Holding the Monsters to 3 of 21 from 3pt range. On top of a 23 rebound margin. This game was an uphill battle from the start, but a 34 to 9 run in the 4th quarter was the dagger. Unfortunately this means the Monsters will stay in the relegation play-off spots. Meanwhile the Dragons put some more space in between them and the Archers heavy point differential. How will both sides take this momentum into the second half of the season?

As for next gameday....
Saturday 4/20/2024 8:00:00 PM 7th Place New York Newts @ 7th Place Coos Bay Cougars
I love these relegation battles. Neither of us want to be facing the 5th place side of the other conference, but undoubtedly the Newts have a bigger hill to climb to catch up with 6th place. Plus who wants to face the River Monsters now that they want to avenge last game? We will still have young Merino out for this game. Hopefully our guard depth can help us overcome the Newts high pace style. The Newts come in as top 6 in ppg with 103.7 a game, and with one of the best squad in the league at keeping opposing teams off the free throw line.
