I've never been so upset by a last minute garbage time 3 lol. I had that ticked cashed!

Round 7 of the TV game show (Match Prediction Contest) is complete. Big sigh of relief from the Skillz fans when they heard after the game that star Russell Medina's injury was only temporary. The creoles got out to an early lead, but once the second half started it started swinging back. The Skillz were absolutely locked in only giving up 3 turnovers all game. Meanwhile holding the Creoles to 38% from the floor and stifling the comeback by holding them to 27% from 3pt range. Meanwhile the Creoles struggled defensively as their lockdown outside defense was useless against the persistant inside game of the Skillz. Can Skillz take this win and stay up in the playoffs and clear of relegation from here on out? Or will this loss drive the Creoles to take no prisioners against their upcoming out-of-conference foes?

Final Score: Lake Charles Creoles 83 @ SKILLZ THAT KILLZ 98

Tuesday 4/2/2024 8:00:00 PM 1st place Rashmonsters @ 5th Place Dark Matter

No one suffer as bad this week as the Dark Matter fell from 2nd to 5th in the Big 8. These are two big-time competitiors in this league. I even thought this fixture might be an early version of what one might see in the finals. Both teams are veterans in this league for at least 6 seasons and know what each other are capable of?

The rivalry since Seaosn 58 stands Rashmonster 5 wins and Dark Matter 1 win.
Rashmonster have been a playoff team 6 of the last 8 seasons. Where as Dark Matter have not missed a playoff appearance in 4 seasons. With playoff spaces still such a tight race in both conferences who needs this win more?

Two backup players are on sale for the Dark Matter will those play any role?

Round 8 of the TV game show (Match Prediction Contest) is complete. The vegas odds seem to prefer the Dark Matter, but the Rashmonsters jumped on them from the start, and didn't letup until the game was well in hand. Its good to see the tactics are staying unpredictable for these highlighted matchups. The Managers each brought some impressive defensive, but the sheer blistering pace of both teams favored Rashmonsters twin big man attack of Ganchec and Watson. Furthermore the sheer magnitude in which the Dark Matter were out rebounded was shocking. The Rashmonster were within single digits of matching the Dark Matter's rebounds total in their offensive boards alone. That makes our next matchup even more interesting.

Final Score: Rashmonsters 107 @ Dark Matter 87

As for next week....

Saturday 4/6/2024 8:00:00 PM 4th place SKILLZ THAT KILLZ @ 2nd place Drunken Sconnies

The new standings give both sides a lot to play for we are surely mid-season now, and losses here will be felt come playoff time especially in home court seedings. Will Russell Medina and the Skills crew be able to hang on to the playoffs spot, or will the league high shot blockers of Sconnies be able to hold them down?

Neither team has played the other in at least 10 seasons. Both teams are also healthy.

Skillz are have won 3 of their last 4. Meanwhile the Sconnies are on a 6 game win-streak. The Sconnies have an easier cup game this week against a D4 opponent. Whereas the Skillz play a tough D2 opponent to stay in the money-laiden tournament.
