Sunday - Play In Round Preview
12:00PM - (7) Super Soul Sonics vs (10) Ponzi Schemers
These two teams have not faced each other this season. Both teams have a good backcourt, but the key will be matchups down low. Plagued with injuries all season, the Ponzis are talented and easy to root for, but it's been a tough season for these guys. It'll likely be another early exit for the Schemers.
Key Matchups:
Joji (SU) 22.6 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 1.9 APG Erik S. (PS) 19.8 PPG, 10.7 RPG, 1.2 BPG
Prediction: Super Soul Sonics advances
1:00PM - (8) Team Problems vs (9) Supernovak
Team Problems has been led all season by N. Bishop and they have been playing very well of late. On the other hand, Supernovak has been on a slide and have not won a game since Week 3. Team Problems likely has too much fire power for Supernovak.
Key Matchups:
N. Bishop (TP) 22.7 PPG, 7 RPG, 1.9 SPG J. Naz (SN) 13.8 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 2.3 APG
Prediction: Team Problems moves on
2:00PM - (6) Warriors vs (11) Walk It Off
The Warriors have been one of the most successful individual teams constructed. They've been playing well as a team and look to further their success in the playoffs. Walk It Off is a very interesting team though. They have yet to win a game, but keep it close and kept up with Newport in Week 8.
Key Matchups:
R. Ahrens (WA) 16.8 PPG, 10.5 RPG, 1.3 APG A. Brown (WI) 16.3 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 1.4 BPG
Prediction: Walk It Off gets their 1st Win in a big upset
3:00PM - (7) Holy Day Detox vs (10) Brooklyn Bred
These guys squared off in Week 7, and Holy Day came out on top. Fun fact, these two teams actually played in ABC Hoops NYC's first game ever. Although, most faces have changed along with the names of each team.
Key Matchups:
B. Ehrlich (HD) 15.3 PPG, 8 RPG, 1.3 APG Bryan A. (BB) 12.7 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 0.9 APG
Prediction: Holy Day Detox moves on
4:00PM - (8) Brooklyn Hustlas vs (9) Very Erratic Play
Last season's runner up, Very Erratic Play has not had much success this season. They'll be met by the Brooklyn Hustlas who too have been quite erratic; they lost three in a row to open the season, but won their next three.
Key Matchups:
L. Leung (BH) 13 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 2.2 APG John C. (VE) 15.7 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 1.3 SPG
Prediction: Brooklyn Hustlas win
5:00PM - (6) PF Flyers vs (11) BAC United
Both teams have been a great addition to the league. It's hard to see BAC being able to handle PF's size, but if they make their shots they certainly stand a chance.
Key Matchups:
S. Rogerson (PF) 17.2 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 2.2 SPG Gary (BU) 7.9 PPG, 4 RPG, 2.4 APG
Prediction: PF Flyers prove too much for BAC United
