Haha, I'm desperately trying to hang onto Cuberas' huge salary and promote this season. If I don't promote, I'm going to have to do some massive roster rearranging to get my bank balance back in order

Congrats to Coach Shunffy, Prathis and Rexapex on making the round of 64 in the cup! Some quick #s of teams left in the cup by division:

NBBA - 11
D2 - 15
D3 - 27
D4 - 11

Now for the matchup predictions.

Blue Vikings vs Bananahorns

Coach Shunffy hosts a D3 opponent, Blue Vikings. Blue Vikings has a top 8 salary of 220k, but the majority are in inept of mediocre game shape. Looking at each team's last cup matchup, both teams have similar defense, though Bananahorns seems to have a better offense, while Blue Vikings better Rebounding. Low GS for Blue Vikings, plus home court advantage will be enough for Bananahorns to win this one.

Splash Gang vs River Monsters

Prathis had the bad luck to draw not only an NBBA opponent, but the #1 team in the country and last year's Cup champion. Not alot that Prathis can do in this one, as he is just simply overmatched. Splash Gang wins easily.

Cyborgs vs Evergreen Xenos

Rexapex hosts a D4 opponent, Cyborgs. Cyborgs has a top 8 salary of 257k, and the majority are in average to respectable game shape. Rexapex looks to be better all around, plus is at home. Expect Evergreen Xenos to move on to the round of 32.

I didn't get time to do a preview, but congratulations to both Sterling Archer and Rashmon for finishing 6-1 in BBM Tier 5 which is good enough to advance to bracket play!

3 others play tonight hoping for a win to also finish at 6-1 and to advance to bracket play. Good luck tonight to DrChristopher and myself in Tier 6, and Prathis in Tier 7.

Thanks! We're both 14 seeds. Rash seems to have the easier matchup so if you're looking to put a bet down, I'd put my money on them.

If I remember correctly, I think you found a list of D.III teams competing for auto-promotion spots via regular season record/D.II teams going bot last season. Any chance you know where I can find that for this season?

The discord usually has something like that available during the last week of the season, and during the playoffs.

Ah, perfect. Thanks!

This isn't the one you are thinking about, but I also have a script that I can run to get current "auto-promote standings". It looks like there are currently 9 undefeated D3 teams and you are in 11th at the moment. Top 4 auto-promote.

Nice! You have the batman utility belt of BB lol.

This is awesome, thank you. Looks like auto-promotion isn't something I can count on even if I manage to win out (I don't expect to).
