Previewing Week 14: Regular Season Finale

Friday, February 19, 2010

6 PM: Beach City Market vs. Big Mike's Sports Rub:

This should be the game of the night, as two of the league's top 3 teams clash. Should Bulls & Bears falter later in the evening, the winner of this game would take the #1 overall seed heading into the playoffs.

7 PM: Flicks vs. Urban Mo's:

Mo's and Pecs are already assured of playing each other in the first round of the playoffs, so this game matters a little more to Flicks, who hopes to avoid a loss that could potentially drop them from 6th to 8th.

8 PM: Colorworks vs. SD Ballers:

If Mo's were to take down Flicks, a Colorworks win could create a 3-way tie at the bottom of the pack. Even in such a scenario, SD Ballers' point differential would likely help them avoid being the 8th seed.

9 PM: Bulls & Bears vs. Pecs:

Pecs comes into the ballgame as the 5-seed, having lost 6 of the last 7 games it's played (excluding a forfeit). Meanwhile, Bulls & Bears would almost certainly lock up the #1 overall seed with a victory, based on point differential. As the last game of the night, B&B will know exactly what's at stake when it takes the court.

Individual Stats Leaders

It's a 3-way race between Josh Langham, Joe Mattia, and Damon Brown for the overall scoring lead, though Mattia (22.0 PPG) has a healthy 2-point margin in the more-telling points-per-game category. Patrick Schoettler has basically bottled up the rebounding title for the regular season.
