A Bracket

Round of 16

#8 Theo 35 - #9 AK-47 27
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Gorodetsky couldn't hit his shots. The only chance AK had was on the perimiter (as Theo's the most physical team in the league) and they couldn't make it happen.	Harry Furse. That kid is just a playmaker, and provided all the offense, and defense, that Theo needed. Unfortunately, Theo must have gotten a little bit tired for their next game that immediately followed this one.	"They are very strong" - Doug Lavey
Up Next: Theo vs. Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face. AK-47- Offseason. #10 Ortega 28 - #7 Boo Radley and Friends 27 (2 OT) IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Spencer Levin's buzzer beater didn't go in, leaving Ortega one point ahead at the end of the game. This was an exciting one though: Up one with 10 seconds left in regulation, Boo Radley committed a foul, on the floor, on Ben Morton. Morton hit the front end of the one and one but didn't connect on the second, so the game went to OT. When Boo Radley missed a shot to go up, in a tie ballgame, with 6 seconds left, Ortega grabbed the board, leaving Reid Berry the winning shot, which went all the way around the rim, then missed. A tight second overtime ensued, with Ortega leading by one with four seconds left, allowing for one final Spencer Levin shot, which he missed. Ben Morton. Morton led Ortega from B Bracket, to A Bracket, to quarterfinals. His clutch free throw shooting gave Ortega the opportunity to win it, which they did. "It was pretty intense" - Ben Morton, about the game. Up Next: Ortega vs. AD. Boo Radley- Offseason.

Quarterfinals

#1 Barfinkle/Team Sit on My Face 33 - #8 Theo 23
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Barifinkle stopped the Theo momentum with a Charlie Gilvarg basket. Theo got it to 27-23, with the ball, but had no go-to guy. Barifinkle got a steal, and Gilvarg an easy b asket. It seemed nobody on Theo wanted to shoot, so the shots they got at the end of the game were Harry Furse 20 footers, none of which dropped. Ryan Murnighan made a few free throws, but also missed an uncontested point-blank lay-up, and was then fouled by Nick Nykaza, who nearly tackled Murnighan. He also started screaming during each one of Barifinkle's free throws at the end of the game.	Chris Sweitzer. Sweitzer not only limited Joe Lankford, arguably Theo's best player, but provided a lot of offense for Team Sit on My Face, contributing double figures yet again.	"Eat shit" - Walt Lyon after I asked him what Higgins said after he knocked Walt around, yielding a technical.
Up Next: Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face vs. Globo Gym. Theo - Offseason.

#2 AD 39 - #10 Ortega 37
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Miles Lashley hit a fade-away from the corner at the buzzer, to give AD the win. At 37 apiece, it looked like it would be going to overtime, Ortega's 3rd overtime of the night, but Lashley swished one as the whistle blew.	Miles Lashley. How can you not give it to the kid who makes the buzzer beater?	"His buzzer beater was insane!" - Joey Madej
Up Next: AD vs. Men. Ortega - Offseason

#3 Globo Gym Purple Cobras 33 - #6 Elect Judge Jim Wascher 26
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Globo Gym took the lead at the 10 minute mark in the first half. Jim Wascher went up on the board first, but Globo Gym made it 19-11 at the half. Although it was a 7 point game, Jim Wascher trailed by around 10 for nearly the entire second half, and a pair of late 3's by Jack Wascher and Scott Gantner (as well as a Gantner buzzer beater) allowed them to cover.	John Haller. John had 12 points, and 4 assists during the game, including a pair of crazy lay-ins and great dishes to Brantner Jones, who had 6. John hit 2 3's, one from about NBA range.	"Way to beat those bastards" - Anonymous, to the victorious Purple Cobras.
Up Next: Globo Gym vs. Barifinkle. Elect Judge Jim Wascher - Offseason

#4 Men 41 - #5 Oklahoma City Thunder 35
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Willy Moore shut down Jeff Dsida, limiting him to single digits, for the first time all year. Although Matt Traub played a terrific game, shooting about 90%, it wasn't enough to tame the Twin Towers.	Mike Sopko. Sopko hit some big jumpers down the stretch to end any hope of an OKC run. Although they lost, give OKC credit for playing Men tight, they proved that with Matt Traub, they are legit, and not just the product of a crappy schedule.	"Traub did you guys win?" - Me, then Traub looking at me, and smashing the door open to go outside. Obviously not very happy.
Up Next: Men vs. AD. OKC - Offseason

B Bracket

Quarterfinals

#8 Ba Dunk-A-Dunk 38 - #1 Attack the Rack 34 (2 OT)
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Andrew Heisler hit two clutch free throws with 15 seconds left, to put Ba Dunk up 4. The real drama came at the end of regulation when Ryan Ulrich hit a 3 from the corner, after dribbling out of bounds apparently, that bounced off the front rim straight into the air and come down in the basket, forcing OT.	Heisler. He was determined all year to prove Ba Dunk-A-Dunk wasn't as bad as everyone was saying. They got their first win tonight in the most important game of the year. Clutch free throw shooting from Heisler got the job done. Watch out for them to win the B-league, they did last year.	"F***ing ridiculous. Absolutely f***ing ridiculous" - Chris Paik, in response to the three pointer at the buzzer counting. "Call us George Mason" - John Secaras
Up Next: Ba Dunk-A-Dunk vs. Hungry Unicorns. Attack the Rack - Offseason

#7 Tallula 39 - #2 We Are Huge in Japan 29
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Dronen's squad beat Tallula earlier in the year, and Dronen provided the quote about Joey Bartzis "One beer queer". Tallula didn't take it lightly, and played ferocious D on Dronen, pushing him around all night, limiting him to just 4 points.	Connor O'Halleran. The kid dropped 17, including 4 bombs. That's two consecutive MVP's for him, and New Trier Varsity needs another shooter. I think it's time Coach Fricke gave him the call up from the minors.	"I played bad" - Nick Dronen
Up Next:

#6 Hungry Unicorns 32 - #3 Brown 29
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Christian Sarkisian and Co. conspired to lose the game. Only 4 players showed up for Brown.	Andrew Roche. He lead his team to the semifinals after a rough season.	"I wanta lose on purpose. End this season already" - Christian Sarkisian before the game.
Up Next: Hungry Unicorns vs. Ba Dunk-A-Dunk. Brown - Offseason

#4 Malkin 33 - #5 Tuesday's With Morrie 28
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Rosy showed up for Malkin. When he comes, they are a force to be reckoned with. Watch out Tallula! They were also the only better seed in the B Bracket to win their game.	Alex Rosenberg. He was scoring, dishing out assists, and grabbing boards. Malkin looking for an unprecedented 3rd win in a row next week.	"Suffocating D, a big ass, and his new buzz cut" - Danny Douaire's reasons for Rosy's MVP performance.
Up Next: Malkin vs. Tallula. TWM - Offseason.
