Week 3 Results

Zolomon vs. Teduits/Estes
42-34
This game started out 16-0 in favor of Zolomon, and 27-6 at half. Teduits/Estes however slowly started to chip away and started to even look like they were going to win for a second. Zolomon looked human today, however they couldn't run their elite fast break due to their six players. Alex Sellers continued his dominance.

Strauss vs. Bernard
39-37
Not to completely brag about my prediction, but not only was I within three for both scores, but I got the story of the game completely right also. Bernard got out to a solid lead, Strauss came so close to gutting out a comeback, but in a two point after they lost to possession, they fouled, couldn't rebound, flagrant fouled, and fouled one more time and missed the rebound again. Great comeback effort nevertheless, as for Bernard solid win.

Booth vs. Southwick
46-42
Again within three on both scores, however this one I couldn't get the winner right. Hats off to Booth for getting the W, but there were some very questionable calls that defiantly affected the outcome of this game, not saying the outcome would have necessarily changed but the impact was there. Heck of a game, the lead was held by Booth all throughout and Southwick grinded it down, but couldn't quite finish.

Hecht vs. Gingras
44-42
Aye! Hecht was able to pull it out. Very close game all throughout. I said Hecht was one of those teams that would gradually get better, but today instead of a small step up they took a big step up. Luke Llodra hit a crazy clutch shot with 6 seconds to go and Mark DeBinder sealed it with a big time block. The play of the day had to be the Llodra jumper.

Manzi vs. McNamara
54-29
Manzi got off to a huge lead, then they kept the huge lead, then they extended it. Total domination in this one. Kasey Griffiths played another dominant game finishing with two and-1's. AS for McNamara, yes it was an ugly but they were missing a star player. Overall Manzi despite being the least committed team in the league has been playing really well.

Majkut vs. O'Wiley
56-47
Little bit of chippy game here, but a pretty good one too. O'Wiley was able to fend off any comeback attempt Majkut was trying to make. Sam Battles did his best Andrew Berube impersonation, but they weren't able to overcome. Majkut despite being the pre-season favorite now finds themselves losers of two straight.
