II.4 The Hounds (25054) (12-10) vs Crystal Lake Executioners (25117) (20-2)

The Hounds are trying to make one of the most historic runs to a top division in all of Buzzerbeater. Scratch that, this would be insane if they pulled it off seeing they have only been playing since... wait for it... Season 15. Following the other blueprint for success, the Hounds have purchased a team of older players with high salaries for cheap. The inside attack is very powerful and the team has some okay depth that they might put up a fight.

CLE on the other hand are a veteran team since season 6 and have been stuck in II.4 since Season 8. This a tale of two completely different teams as the Executioners are a little more well rounded with some better depth. If they can stop the inside attack, this is their finals for the taking.

Prediction: Executioners will take this one as the clock will strike midnight for Cinderella.

These are awesome! :D The Hounds could be the story of the season!

Very nice analysis of the remaining Div II teams and their quest to make it to the top division.

very nice write up
not in depth by any means but very interesting to say the least

i would like to add that i was stuck in div2 for that many seasons due to my commitment to training 2 U21 players for the S17 team which sucked up my resources and time for good chunks of 3 seasons
any coincidence that i put together a competitive team the 1st season my U21 prospects turn 22? lol
sweet i have the youngest team =)

oh jeez as we speak i have an in-game injury already... hopefully its not serious lol

I probably checked out each set of games for about 10 minutes each. Just wanted something up about the match ups.

Crystal Lake to Naismith after thriller at the Pit
Last Minute victory moves Executioners

The Executioners were facing extiinction, they were down 81-72 after 3 quarters.
They had already made up the deficit in the 4th quarter but fell behind once more and time was running out.
Down 105-103 with 53 seconds to play Tiborc Sengel delivered a key dunk to tie it.
The turning point belonged to Mihkel Pang, his steal with 18 seconds left set up the championship winner.
4 seconds later Jarkko Räisänen drained the jumper.
Executioners 107 Hounds 105, and the Executioner defense made it stand
