#2: Neo Angeles Lightning- (16-6) (9-2 @ H)
USA Rank: 1335


Mike Maclin: The team I’m rooting for: Neo Angeles Lightning! Chris Rayne took his players in two seasons from an 8-14 record to a 16-6 one adding 8 wins in just one season.

Ben: And that’s no easy feat in that conference, Mike.

Mike Maclin: You cannot stress enough how stiff that competition is and to pull that off in 2 seasons is simply remarkable.

Ben: Yea I don’t see them losing more than 5 games this year, Mike.

Mike Maclin: You can look forward to that rivalry with the Tallahassee Trees this year too. Expect some instant classics between those two this year.


#1: Tallahassee Trees-( 17-5) (9-2 @ H)
USA Rank: 1224


Mike Maclin: And our number one team on The Elite 8 Power Ranking: Tallahassee Trees. Yes these guys have been patiently building for a while now entering their fifth season in V.16.

Ben: You know they shouldn’t even be mad at this point if they don’t get promoted to the next division this year. They’re so stacked and so established I think it’ll only help them that much more when they actually do get there.

Mike Maclin: Forget everything I said earlier, Ben. THIS team will be the one to win it all. I don’t see anyone even handing them a loss this year. That’s right an undefeated season.

Ben: Well it’s hard to when you got a whole starting lineup of just merciless execution on both ends of the floor. My personal favorite is Hipólito Rossy. This kid reminds me of myself back in the day. He isn’t the tallest Point Guard out there, but he has the biggest heart and the will to win. He leads his team night in and night out and to show for it he’s putting up 30/9/5 last night despite struggling from beyond the arc. If he starts hitting 3s he’ll be unstoppable.

Mike Maclin: Well that just about raps it up. We’ll see you next Sunday at 8PM EST which will be our official air time. Expect some beefy reporting, as well as the Players of the Week, Top Plays of the Week, New Elite 8 Power Ranking and much more! Until next time Buzzerbeaters and remember: Patience is key…

Season Ranking update:

#1: Tallahassee Trees - 10-0 overall (7-0 Great 8) (3-0 Big 8) Key wins: JIG, NEO, ATR, AUS, & CHI...
USA Rank: 1176 Last Week (1)

Best Player: Hipolito Rossy (29.2 pts, 6.4 asts)

This team hasn't missed a beat and are now the team to beat posting a PERFECT mark on the season so far, a conference championship & league championship is just about in their grasp. Who will step up and knock them down.

#2: Jiggling Juggernauts - 9-1 overall (6-1 Great 8) (3-0 Big 8) Key wins: NEO, SYR, AUS...
USA Rank: 1282

Best Player: Anthony Sims (20.7 pts, 15.4 rebs)

The Jugs have proven themselves in this league since joining beginning this season. They look poised to make a run, and will not let the trees run away with anything. The rematch between the Trees and Jugs should be epic... Stay tuned.

#3: Neo Angeles Lightning - 8-2 overall (5-2 Great 8) (3-0 Big 8) Key Wins: ATR, AUS
USA Rank: 1257

Best Player: Daniele Leardini (20.6 pts, 12.6 rebs)

The Lighting contains a team that can strike from all over the floor which makes it almost impossible to defend. Three may be the magic number in the Great 8, but an acquisition will need to be made to upset the top two teams.

#4: SyracuseOrange - 8-2 overall (6-1 Big 8) (2-1 Great 8) Key Wins: CHI, NEW
USA Rank: 1351

Best Player: Cao Yiliang (13.0 pts, 10.4 rebs)

The Orange play a balanced style of basketball and tremendous defense. If you begin to under estimate this team it could prove to be your down fall. Only problem is this team is just getting into the heart of the Great 8.

#5: Above the Rim - 8-2 overall (7-0 Big 8) (1-2 Great 8) Key Wins: SYR, CHI, NEW
USA Rank: 1381

Best Player: Theo Bullard (30.0 pts, 8.0 rebs)

One of the most dynamic teams in the league. Amazingly young with no player on this team is older than 22 years old. Don't be fooled... this team packs a punch and will be in there at the end of the season if someone slips.

#6: Austin Landscapers 7-3 overall (4-3 Great 8) (3-0 Big 8) Key Wins: None
USA Rank: 1364

Best Player: Relja Brstina (28.1 pts, 7.4 rebs)

The Landscapers have significantly benefited from an easy early schedule by beating the teams that they're suppose to beat. The back 9 of this season will prove to be brutal for this opportunistic team.

#7 Chicago Wildboys 7-3 overall (5-2 Big 8) (2-1 Great 8) Key Wins: NEW
USA Rank: 1561

Best Player: Shunta Tarumi (21.1 pts, 7.5 asts)

Another Great young team showing a lot of promise. Minus a key injury, they may have had an additional win right now.

#8: NewYorkKnicksNew 5-5 overall (4-3 Big 8) (1-2 Great 8) Key Wins:
USA Rank: 1559

Best Player: Sebastian Geambasu (24.5 pts, 15.3 rebs)

Last living playoff team in the Big 8, but don't sleep on your success because there are people in place to take it.

#9 FlashBack2009: Great team... tougher conference. Sorry guys but I didn't do it.

#10 Deebdini Maulers: With Jokull Tryggvason (33.7 pts, 8 rebs) shooting close to 50% or better in all catagories...

#11 LA Triads: Overhaul in progress... this will be a season to remember for them =(

#12 Dirtywater Sharks: Spunky team that needs a little more fire power.

#13 Beltsville Bulls: Beginners luck???

#14 BuLLeTZZZ: I don't think they'll be around next season... prove me wrong.

#15 Lauderhill Lions: Is there any sign of life... Hello!!!!

#16 Waughoos: OMG!!!


Game of the week: SYR 99 @ JIG 101

See you all next week.

Have a Great game!!!
