Dark Matter by 3

Monsters by 12

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.

Round 9 of the TV game show (Match Prediction Contest) is complete with the Drunken Sconnies come out on top 100-72. Lucky for now both teams were able to hold on to their league position. If you lucked out and got to watch the game it really was a complete performance from the Sconnies. The SKILLZ were held to just 30% field goal percentage. 6 players from the sconnies found themselves with double digit scoring totals come game's end. They were so complete with their inside scoring they almost never had to even attempt a 3pt shot. With the Sconnies only taking 5-3pt shots all game. Last thing I'll say is this brings a lot of competition pressure now in the Big 8 with 3rd through 6th place all sitting at 5 wins and just seperated by point differental. WHo will seperate themselves them the pack?
