Recaps
Tachenko 79(1-0) vs Rogues 92 (0-1)
First victory for the rogues that decided to go patient against Tachenko's defense. The SG guard Zamora had a big production and led the team in points, Casey and Kauffman had double doubles whereas Tachenko PF Davila was again the leader for tachenko's side. The rogues put more effort than tachenko in this one, they didn't want to upset the fans in the first game at home and they didn't.
Royal Challengers 57 (0-1) vs Michigan Blasters 118 (0-1)
Are the royal challegers giving up? We don't know what to think. The team is not competitive for D.III and is a question mark if their GM have planned to incorporate players along the season. Michigan went motion with a 3-2 defense, but really Who cares? He could have gone inside and 2-3 and still win...
Georgia Tech 82 (1-0) vs Running Red Wolves 93 (0-1)
The red wolves may run.. but towards your neck. Both teams looked inside but the wolves were stronger in the paint even choosing a 3-2 zone defense. Ben-David was a beast, 24 points and 20 rebounds. If he stays healthy he is gonna terrorized the other PF players. First victory for the wolves.
Hansen 58 (1-0) vs Barbarian Marauders 85 (0-1)
This time the Marauders didn't mess around. They went for it and they took it. BM have two big guys that dominate the inside game and are almost unstoppable, specially for a team like hansen that doesn't have an excellent inside defense. I found shocking that Hansen used a Princeton tactic I think there are better options... However, with the marauders putting a normal effort in this game it is unlikeky that any tactic would have paid off.
Philadelphia Phantasm 71 (1-0) vs Hayward Lumberjacks 83 (0-1)
I said than Lumberjacks were unlucky on their first game for obvious reasons and that it wont take them long to start winning because this team, beloved guys, is a dominating team. the lumberjacks is another "I love tall guys" team and they have, H. Armenakyan, who led the team in points and rebound. The Phantasm are also a "I love tall guys" team but their tall guy, M. Tarrosa , seems to be shorter that Armenakyan, at least this time. The lumberjacks didn't have much trouble to close the game in the first 3 quarter and loosen up in the four to win the game by 12 points.
Bunny Humpers 50 (1-0) vs San Diego Eagles 93 (0-1)
The bunny humpers didn't even try. I am guessing they are afraid of their rival in the cup and they wanted to keep the best player for that game. San Diego against went normal again... this is gonna cost them some spirit.... and got an easy win.
LBC Soldiers 68 (1-0) vs BuckNuts 84 (0-1)
The bucknuts coach didn't go nuts this time. He read the game and win it. The outside guys shoot and the big guys out rebounded the soldiers and that was the key for a game that with a different tactic could have gone the other way. kurki was for me the key of the game, 15 points (6/12 FG) and what it was the key, 23 rebounds.
Findlay Flight 52 (1-0) vs Bobcats4Life 94 (1-0)
Flight went bot so there is not much too say.
Peace and love
