An interesting first round.
Great 8
Naker was "upset" by the Immortals who have picked up a player so old he should be on Naker's team. Naker do you really think you can play your guys three games at 48+ each and maintain game shape? I think you need to "rent" some scrubs for the cup.
The Titans start their new campaign with a massive win over the dangerous Screaming Eagles.
Lazio@ who just recently made a ridiculous $7,000,000 selling a bunch of $20k trainees had enough to get an easy win without them, with millions in the bank and with their best player fouling out in just 13 minutes.
Flow Gaming wth the scary blank face were able to get their first win in the second best game of the round at the expense of ACT Blaze so need to be treated with respect.
Big 8
Doncaster flames and Henley Beach Hawks both tanked their first game probably looking to win their second and the cup which was great news for Many Men and me.
I really don't know enough about Chirny Lakers and Baby Bombers at the moment to say anything intelligent about their match. Well done BB for the win.
In the match of the round the top two Big 8 teams left from last season went head to head in what was a thriller that went to OT. In the end the Home Team the Victorian Allstars got home which is good news for them, but the West Island Tigers must be very upset losing to their rival, in overtime, in a week when they have three human opponents. They must be wondering how they lost seeing as they had a two point lead and were at the free throw line with one second to go.
4 0:01 92 — 90 Free throw missed by I. Mandić (A).
4 0:01 92 — 90 E. Mpampiniotis (H) grabs the defensive rebound.
4 0:00 92 — 92 S. Olle (H) attempts a baseline jumper, guarded closely by W. Thomson (A). Scored.
4 0:00 92 — 92 A buzzerbeater for S. Olle (H)!
4 0:00 92 — 92 End of period.
A devastating way to start the season.
