Too many rounds left to make a clear prediction ;)

On my honor, gentlemen, I will avenge your losses!

Only 5 NBBA teams remaining in cup. Sweet 16 schedule:

Irvine Anteaters vs. Visionaries (II.2)
Cross Chargers vs. Red Pandas (II.4)

Eloping Cantaloupes @ Seagulls (III.1)
TarTeam @ The Coolness Factor (III.8)

Beware of Dogs @ Maine Coast Puffins (IV.52)

i would advise playing your starters.

Bah, a cowardly tactic. The scrubs will handle this just fine.

what an interesting situation we have tonight:

-- four teams in the Big 8 are both in the Cup and within a game of each other (and one back of Bananhorns) for HCA in the playoffs

-- all four teams could win the Cup and / or have at least a puncher's chance of winning the league title

-- all four teams are on the road tonight

-- all four of the opponents have no reason not to play hard for a win (not in Cup, home court)

-- and, of course, all four teams are probably trying to figure out what the other manager is going to do tonight

possible results for a given team:

-- punt tonight, win on Thursday

-- go for win tonight, stay competitive in hunt for playoff HCA

-- try to stretch roster and figure out way to get three wins

unlike past seasons, teams can't run out their trainees and oldsters and get a win against tanking teams. High Point and the Cacti can defeat pretty decent squads, if given a chance.

all in all, a most interesting night in store. good luck to all.

Good summary. A real brain-teaser!

Next round:
Irvine Anteaters @ Cross Chargers (NBBA)
Beware of Dogs @ TarTeam (NBBA)
Eloping Cantaloupes vs. silver dogs (II.2)

looks like the scheduling gods moved my finals to the quarter-finals. too bad.

so many NBBA teams left -- four from the same conference -- and i am happy to see that Bob and his Stinky Melons dispatched the pesky Seagulls.
