Haha don't think my team is in a great position to compete right now, but the game should be interesting nonetheless

I'll say. I just won by almost 100! Haha. But I'll be eating my words in a season or two :p

The playoffs have arrived, and interestingly for the Great 8, the playoffs start in exactly the same way as the regular season ended - Kitties and GaG meet up, while Strong and Wink also go at it in the first round.

In the Big 8, the Catzz and Moose matchup is probably the toughest one to call. The winner faces the Blaserz, who should be able to take care of business versus Java.

Panama and Majar will live to fight another day in IV.58, having each finished 5th.

In the relegation battles, Funky should be able to take the Shoguns, while the loser of the Bears/Hoopers matchup will be residing in D.5 next season. Good luck to all.

Even though an early exit is inevitable for me, I am very proud of making the playoffs in my first season back in D4

So I guess yay me for coming in as the closest loser from the first round of the playoffs (against the kitties too!) :D Good luck to all the teams left in the running for a d3 promotion!

In both Great 8 and Big 8 - it will be #1 v. #2 for the opportunity to play in the league finals.

good luck in today games, i hope it come down to my guards being in form, but its going to be tough to overcome you home court.

wow congratz on that win, i had a chance at the end of regulation and just could not capitalize, good luck in the finals and promoting.

Thanks. I was actually a little surprised that it went to OT - I had been holding a little back in our other matches to surprise you . . . guess you were doing the same thing. I was predicting a 5-8 point regular match win.

You have the better rebounding team, so I was surprised that my guys ended up with the edge in rebounding in this match. I do emphasize offensive efficiency with my team, so not surprised I had the edge there, but you had a huge advantage in personal fouls and in 3 point shots. Not sure what happened there - that probably made it closer.

The match going to overtime actually played to one of my team's strengths - a much deeper bench. I think your team is very strong 5 - 6 deep. but once your subs had to start playing significant minutes, they could not match my subs. If I do promote, my advice for your "Strong" team would be get another quality back-up - either a SF/SG combo guy or a SG/PG combo guy, depending on what position you are nottraining, to fill that gap in your team. If I don't promote, my advice would be blow up your team and start over, since I would not like to face your guys two seasons in a row.

We shall see if I end up promoting out of IV.58, or if Catzz does. Should be some quality matches there.

ya it comes down to a lot of things. I had better rebounding but got out rebounded, your PF was a beast. I thought i needed the boost so i guesses with GDP and got that wrong, that had to cost me at least a few points. I actually had a pretty poor game from 3, if you look at my team all season. Also I was watching the game and my starters played only about a minute and a half of the overtime so that really killed me and was supper depressing to watch lol. Anyways good luck, you should not have that much of a problem promoting.

I am kinda going to blow up my team. I have a million in the bank so i'm going to get deeper, younger, and hopefully a little cheaper. I'm going to try to put together a team that will promote and then be able to hopefully compete in DIII.

My kitties are moving on, up to D.3. Been in IV.58 a long time. But, my team is getting a little old and not sure my stay up in D.3 will be very long. Hopefully I will cross paths with some of the many IV.58 alumni (from both this season and seasons past) in seasons to come.

Best of luck to all.
