As for next Saturday its another DOUBLE GAMEDAY...

Saturday 5/25/2024 8:00:00 PM 6th Place SKILLZ THAT KILLZ @ 8th Place Lake Charles Creoles

Summary: Skillz are heavily favored despite playing away and their possible playoff conservationism. The Creoles have the worse point differential in the league. Regularly being out scored by 51 points. They also are the most outrebounded team in the league. I think they will put up a valiant effort, but still fall to a great perimeter defense team with a good inside attack in Skillz.

Injury/Transfers: Lake Charles has A. Gillespie out he will be back in time, but many players are struggling for game shape. No other injuries and transfers. Will try to update this section again if needed...

Last Matchup: Earlier this season was their only matchup and it saw the Skillz win at home 98-83. A closer margin then you would have thought looking at their records now.

Ramifications: Lake Charles are mathematically out of this league. Meanwhile Skillz will be trying to adjust their effort to secure a good relelgation matchup. This will be the most unpredictable game. Will the Creoles play spoiler? Will Skillz need a loss and throw it? Who knows?!

Saturday 5/18/2024 8:00:00 PM 3rd Place Evergreen Xenos @ 8th Place Coos Bay Cougars

Summary: The two sides are much closer in strength. Xenos is still favored, but with Cougars having more on the line and home court it will be a tough matchup all around. Don't want to give too much away here. If anyone wishes to add a few words or summary for this matchup it would be appreciated.

Injury/Transfers: Xenos sold Aurimas Lavrijonis who certainly wasn't a big piece was sold but might being shaking things up tactically. No other injuries and transfers. Will try to update this section again if needed...

Last Matchup: Earlier this season was also our only head to head. It saw the Xenos win at home 91-74. Can the cougars overcome that kind of margin?

Ramifications: This is a must win for the Cougars to have a shot at the playoffs, Meanwhile Xenos are definitely playoff bound, but may have to play hard to hang on to 3rd place. Who needs it more?

Thanks to all who participated. It really up the stakes throughout the season.
The final gameday reports will be up tomorrow. I have to get to work early, so I don't have time to type them up now.

Thanks again all and best of luck in the playoffs!

I lied I couldn't sleep...

Round 22 of the TV game show (Match Prediction Contest) is in the books.

Game #1: Final Score: Evergreen Xenos 77 @ Coos Bay Cougars 89

Summary: We were the only team trying out there and despite that it was still a narrow win. The biggest difference showed on the glass as we out rebounded them significantly. Nonetheless without a heroic 4th quarter we were dead in the water and on our way to D4. Xenos were no slouch regardless of cantering to the playoffs. As they held their ground defensively and did not make an silly turnovers even with the other team playing like they would all be fired tomorrow.

Questions: Downside is this loss gave them the tough 1st v 4th matchup in the playoffs versus Rashmonsters. Meanwhile the Cougars managed to crawl out of the automatic relegation spots, but did they leave anything in the tank to mount any kind of relegation defense in the playoffs?

Game #2: Final Score: SKILLZ THAT KILLZ 102 @ Lake Charles Creoles 53

Summary: A throughout beat down from beginning to end. Sagorak the center for the Creoles tried to put up a valiant effort grabbing 11 offensive boards, just 5 Off-rebs shy of Skillz entire total. However, no one man show could overcome the rest of Lake Charles shooting less than 20% from the field and 15% from 3pt range. A stifling defensive performance.

Questions: Lake Charles will be headed down to D4. However, the skillz actually succeed at the worse time as they now become the only team not to face a bot team in the relegation playoff. Very unfortunate.
