D.II.1 – Season 68: Day 8 Recap (April 29, 2025)
by Buzzer-Manager

Smallfries Sizzle, Mambas Meltdown, and Pease Puts on a Show

Just when you thought Season 68 had peaked, Day 8 comes in swinging with offensive explosions, shocking flops, and a few stat lines worth framing. Let’s break it down.

Heat Check: Smallfries and TAR HEELS #1 on Fire

Smallfries threw a 134-point party and invited Big Forest to suffer through it. A dazzling 42 assists and six players in double digits had them looking like the most fluid offense in the league. Calderón and Meroni were artists, painting the stat sheet.

TAR HEELS #1 did what TAR HEELS #1 do—smash. A 76-point win over southpaw army while grabbing 63 rebounds? That’s not a game; that’s a clinic.

Meanwhile, Wavy Gates decimated The White Mambas by 85 points behind a sharp 28-point effort from E. Pease, the night’s MVP. Wavy’s 15 blocks set the tone, and Pease was all gas, no brakes.

The Ostriches Glide Again

Flying Ostriches bounced back in a gritty 94-87 win over SomeTeam. D. Inceris led with swagger and strength, and they held off a 22-rebound night from E. Utters. Quietly, the Ostriches are rebuilding serious momentum.

Kings of Kings Knights

Another game, another beatdown. Kings Knights dismantled Hemet Hooligans 115–50. S. Myles and the defense locked in, racking up 12 steals and making it look too easy. This team plays with championship intensity.

The Shockers

Corntucky Mildcats stunned Wasted Potential 74–55, behind strong inside play and solid perimeter D. If this is a turning point, it’s a much-needed one.

And finally—Blue Ocean swam through Harbor City Storm with control and confidence. Q. Silva anchored with a quiet yet impactful double-double (plus 4 blocks). Don’t sleep on the Ocean.

Final Thoughts

• Smallfries are starting to look scary good—can they sustain this form?
• Have the White Mambas officially waved the white flag?
• Kings Knights continue to dominate both ends with ruthless consistency.
• Wavy Gates look deeper, faster, and hungrier every week.
• Is it time for a rebuild talk in Hemet?

Only a third of the way through, and D.II.1 already feels like a thriller series. Bring on Day 9.

D.II.1 – Season 68: Day 9 Recap (May 3, 2025)
by Buzzer-Manager

Blowouts, Beatdowns, and Bandeira’s Barrage
Day 9 delivered sheer destruction from the top squads. A trio of 120+ performances, one historic team-wide block party, and a couple of teams that didn’t even show up. Some stars made statements—others disappeared.

Blue Ocean Drowns Big Forest
128-71. The score says it all. Blue Ocean unloaded on Big Forest with 128 points, 71 boards, and 13 steals. C. Villaruel dished 10 assists and G. Calhoun swiped 4 steals. This was ruthless domination from tip-off.

Flying Ostriches Cook the Storm
Flying Ostriches continue their red-hot run, torching Harbor City Storm 112-75. Clinical ball movement and suffocating defense stifled the Storm from the start. The Ostriches have shaken off their early-season struggles.

Village Idiots Cruise Past SomeTeam
In a controlled 86-63 win, the Idiots showed poise and polish. L. Portobello led with 48 minutes of effort, while E. Irwin drew whistles all night but kept the team on track.

Baker Street Rises Again
The Irregulars ground out a 92-84 win over the White Mambas. Veteran guard H. Sotelo was an ironman, logging 48 minutes in a war of attrition. It wasn’t pretty—but it was gritty.

Wavy Gates Blow the Doors Off
125-73. Wavy Gates ran laps around the disjointed southpaw army. H. Al-Abdel turned in a monster all-around night (17-8-3-2-4), and the Gates defense had the visitors in shackles. Not close.

Kings Knights Outlast the Tar Heels
The Knights took a close one, 95-87, over a scrappy TAR HEELS #1 squad. A. Olsen was sensational: 25 points, 6 boards, and key buckets in crunch time. Championship mettle on full display.

Wasted Potential Lives Up to the Name (in a Good Way)
120-54. This wasn’t a game—it was a demolition. L. Pelowski put up a sizzling 35-6-2-2 line with 44 efficiency. S. Dogruel swatted 7 shots as Hemet Hooligans got completely overwhelmed.

Smallfries Deep-Fry the Mildcats
G. Bandeira was on one. A 38-point, 6-rebound, 3-assist, 2-steal, 4-block explosion put Smallfries in cruise control over Corntucky. B. Cümşüdov added 24 boards to complete the destruction.

Crunch-Time Questions
• Is Blue Ocean peaking too soon—or just getting started?
• Will Smallfries’ dynamic duo carry them to a deep run?
• Are the Hooligans officially in freefall?
• Can Kings Knights keep winning tight ones?

Final Thought:
Day 9 was a showcase of firepower and failure. The contenders are separating from the pretenders. Some teams are surging—others just sinking. One thing’s clear: the league’s top dogs are hungry, and nobody’s safe.

Day 10 could be a bloodbath. Buckle up!

It’s not perfect and I don’t always have time to properly go over all the details it quotes. Yeah I don’t really know where it got it from that it’s a guard

D.II.1 – Season 68: Day 10 Recap (May 6, 2025)
by Buzzer-Manager

Irregulars Unleashed, Smallfries Sizzled, and Southpaw… Sunk
Day 10 was a night of runaways and rallies. Baker Street broke the scoreboard, Smallfries-Hooligans gave us a thriller, and southpaw army might want to check if they still have a basketball team. Big nights from Cots, Guangcheng, and Bandeira reminded everyone who runs D.II.1.

Baker Street Irregulars Obliterate southpaw army
131-44. That’s not a typo. The Irregulars put on a defensive and offensive clinic, leading the night in points, rebounds, blocks, and humiliation dealt. Ruxing’s flamethrower from deep and Guangcheng’s work on the boards turned this into a massacre.

Smallfries Fall in a Classic
In the game of the night, Hemet Hooligans edged Smallfries 117-112. Bandeira lit it up, and Cümşüdov was dominant inside, but Greber’s all-around brilliance led Hemet to a gutsy win in one of the season’s most entertaining showdowns.

Flying Ostriches Glide Past Big Forest
No let-up from the Ostriches. They hammered Big Forest 118-75 with 38 team assists and complete control from the jump. Inceris continues to be the heartbeat of this rising contender.

Village Idiots Outgun the Storm
Harbor City put up a fight, but the Idiots had too much firepower, winning 116-103. Freeman’s facilitation kept the Storm in it, but their defense couldn’t contain the constant pressure from Lambert and crew.

SomeTeam Sneaks Past the Mambas
A low-scoring grinder ended 79-76 for SomeTeam. Utters continued his quiet, efficient leadership, and despite a huge game from Cots—who stuffed every column—the Mambas fell short again in crunch time.

Wavy Gates Stun the Kings
Kings Knights dropped a tough one to Wavy Gates, 101-94. With Martone protecting the rim and Marcos controlling the boards, Gates showed poise and balance down the stretch to pull off a key win.

Tar Heels Shut Down Wasted Potential
TAR HEELS #1 locked up Wasted Potential in a physical 83-70 victory. Paciente played wire-to-wire, but the Heels’ defense swallowed up scoring options and cruised late.

Blue Ocean Bounce Back
Blue Ocean took care of business against Corntucky, 101-87. Silva and Calhoun led a strong all-around effort, sending a message that this team’s not drifting—they’re plotting a course for the top half.

Crunch-Time Questions
• Can Baker Street turn this explosion into consistency?
• Is Smallfries’ defense going to cost them in crunch time?
• Have the Kings lost their grip on a top spot?
• Is Hemet finally finding their rhythm at the right time?

Final Thought:
Day 10 had it all—blowouts, buzzer-beaters, and brutal beatdowns. Some contenders roared. Some cracked. And one team got absolutely vaporized. As we enter the season’s second half, separation is coming fast. Playoff races are tightening. It’s time to lock in.

Stay tuned—Day 11 promises more fireworks

• Can Baker Street turn this explosion into consistency?

Nope

Nope, they are definitely getting relegated

D.II.1 – Season 68: Day 11 Recap (May 10, 2025)
by Buzzer-Manager

SomeTeam Crushes, Ostriches Obliterate, and Kings Rise Again
The table is shifting fast in D.II.1. Day 11 brought a brutal series of blowouts, a redemptive win for the Kings, and another jaw-dropping showing from SomeTeam’s frontcourt monster. Meanwhile, Corntucky reached new depths, and Wavy Gates eked out a nail-biter.

SomeTeam Decimates southpaw army
121-54. That’s the beatdown. D. Nucaro was a walking cheat code, dominating the paint like it owed him money. SomeTeam played like a squad on a mission—and southpaw army barely showed up. This was destruction at its cleanest.

Flying Ostriches Melt the Mildcats
Corntucky got embarrassed—again—this time 114-32. The Ostriches swarmed like predators, forcing turnovers, piling up steals, and cruising end to end. They’re not just winning—they’re hunting. This was one-sided from the opening tip.

Kings Knights Stop the Irregular Surge
After Baker Street’s fireworks last round, the Kings snapped that streak with a composed 107-92 win. Revenge is sweet, especially after a loss like they took on Day 10. Smooth ball movement and stout defense carried the day.

Wavy Gates Edge Wasted Potential in Thriller
In one of the closest contests, Wavy Gates held on 97-95. Pelowski’s 40-point outburst nearly stole it for Wasted, but Choate and Marcos steadied the ship just long enough. A playoff-type finish with real implications.

Tar Heels Topple Smallfries Again
TAR HEELS #1 continued to cause trouble, this time outlasting Smallfries 101-91. It’s now clear: the Heels are more than a mid-tier threat, while Smallfries may be fading under defensive lapses and crunch-time inconsistency.

White Mambas Roll Over Harbor City
The Mambas dominated from start to finish, 115-89. Siagris was electric, and Harbor City looked overwhelmed by The White Mambas’ relentless pressure and fast pace. Mambas are quietly heating up.

Village Idiots Torch Big Forest
A blowout of epic proportions: 116-68. Lambert and Sloan steered the ship while Big Forest barely put up resistance. The Idiots are making a case for elite-tier consistency.

Blue Ocean Outswims the Hooligans
In an exciting back-and-forth, Blue Ocean pulled away late to win 118-108. Calhoun shined, leading a fluid offense that punished Hemet’s defensive gaps. Both teams look playoff-worthy—this one might have previewed a postseason duel.

Key Takeaways
• SomeTeam is a monster when Nucaro plays like that.
• Flying Ostriches are now officially terrifying.
• The Kings may have just saved their season.
• Corntucky… may need to rebuild from scratch.
• Wavy Gates are the league’s sneakiest clutch team.

Final Word:
Day 11 was pure chaos—just the way we like it. Blowouts, upsets, redemptions, and a few “are you serious?” performances. The standings are tightening, and every game is beginning to feel like a playoff battle. Buckle up—D.II.1 isn’t slowing down.

Day 12 is coming. Who’s breaking through next?
