Bibby Brotherhood's 3 man starting line-up gave up 189 to a Glasgow Raptors team who were in no mood to go easy on them. Stat highlights are efficiency of +331 to -16, 92 rebounds to 15, and 17 blocks to 0! If Bibby continue this then further in the season when both enthusiasm rises and cross-conference play starts somebody may hang a 200 point game on them. Fortunato Monsch and his 24 assist game might not be the only all-time divisional record we see this season!
Elsewhere in the Great 8, Locomotive Edinburgh beat Raging Seagull in a game where the home team seemed to play the Edinburgh style of winning rebounding & blocking battles, while the Scots played the Seagull style of sharpshooting. In the end Štolba & Dougall combining for only 6pts in 48 mins at SF may have been the difference between 2 teams at an otherwise similar level.
Locomotive & the Raptors face each other in Edinburgh on Tuesday to keep their unbeaten records.
In the Big 8, Glasgow Blue Jays hit a 150 team game rating in game 3 although were given a fight by Dropito who I suspect went crunch-time like last year's game 6 but did not get the same results losing 99-85. The Dropito starting 5 matched up very well to the Blue Jays' starters but the 2nd unit were bulldozed 26-6 in scoring and +36 to -6 in efficiency.
Skytturnar are the other unbeaten team left after beating Revolta Culé, B.C 116-98. Revolta shot well against a quality Skytturnar defence, but in the end it was 27 free throws to Skytturner against their 6, so when Skytturnar scored 26 of them, they were all but doomed to a defeat.
