MARCH 6, 2007 -- Hyphy remained undefeated and the Lions stayed on their tear in the playoffs, setting up a much-anticipated battle between the "die hard" Lions led by strong forward Jon McClain and pointman Chris Liclican, and the runnin-n-gunnin Hyphy led by versatile tall guard Marco Escalambre and the hard-nosed ballhandler Andrew Matawaran.
In the Losers Bracket, San Miguel staged a 4th-quarter comeback against the Ole Dirty Bastards, then carried the momentum to a 28-10 lead against #2 SVU, only to see Jim Wang shoot the lights out and end the San Miguel dream. Got-Em beat Aball, which beat Grey Goose.
This means we have #2 SVU, #3 Got-Em, #4 SFFA, and the #10 Big Gamerz in the Losers Bracket. Even though the highest seed is supposed to play against the lowest seed in the Losers Bracket, SVU has already played the Big Gamerz in the playoffs, so to mitigate the irrelevancy of that first meeting, SVU will play against the next-lowest seed, SFFA, which leaves us with Got-Em vs Big Gamerz. The winners of these games will play against each other, from which on 3/18 the winner will play the loser of Hyphy vs Lions in the Last Losers Bracket game, from which the winner will then play the winner of Hyphy/Lions for the championship. If a repeat championship is needed, it will be played on 3/25.
Wow...I can't believe SVU came back from a 28-10 deficit to beat San Miguel. Since San Miguel was coming of a doubleheader, did fatigue kick in later in the game? Or did they just not respect the shooting skills of SVU? Man...I've said time and time again, SVU can straight-up shoot. That Jim Wang guy lit us up when we played them (and we were playing man on them!).
In other league news, Kurruption defeated SloJams in the Lower Bracket Championship capping a 3-game win streak in the Playoffs. I don't know much about them other than they're made up primarily of a bunch of young, Filipino players...but I've gotta hand it to them for knocking out the #1 and #2 seeds on their way to winning it all.
