Week 10 Recap

A Bracket

Semifinals

#1 Barfinkle/Team Sit
on My Face 37 - #3 Globo Gym Purple Cobras 31

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...
Globo Gym couldn't grab an offensive rebound. Tied at 30-30, John Higgins was fouled, hitting the first missing the second, then a Barifinkle rebound. Another miss and board for Barifinkle, and again. However, Barifinkle couldn't seal the deal until later in the game, they led 33-30 with 30 seconds left, and John Haller with the ball. However, when John was fouled he missed the front end of the 1 and 1, and Globo was forced to foul again.
Will Harris. Harris came off the bench to score 12 points, including a few key rebounds.

#2 AD 37 - #4 Men 34

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...
Willy Moore missed the front end of a 1 and 1 with 4 seconds left. Down 35-34, it looked like Moore could win it for Men, who played poorly all game. He missed on the front rim, and Miles Lashley got the board. This came directly after TJ Keene also missed the front end of his one and one. Brandon Batt was 6-6 in the final 2 minutes.
Brandon Batt. He wowed many, scoring 23 points, in a terrific shooting game. Willy Moore manned him up, but couldn't stop his unique shot, and the TJ Keene got on him, but nobody could seem to stop him. He hit fade away threes and NBA style lay-ups. Possibly most underrated player award.

Championship

#1 Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face
62 - #2 AD 34
IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Barifinkle went up 29-5 in the first 7 minutes of the game. The rest of the game neither team really tried, highlighted by some alley-oops, halfcourt shots, and a few Healy threes at the end. Brandon Batt, obviously tired, struggled. All in all, Barifinkle showing why they're #1.
Nobody. Barifinkle was just so much better than AD, they had easy lay-ups all game long. If they played all 30 minutes, I'm confident they would've scored over 100. But, I have to give a Night League Final MVP award, so this year's award goes to.... Chris Sweitzer. Sweitzer was Bari's leading scorer in the first 3 minutes (the only somewhat competitive part).
"Congrats on the golden shoe" - Andrew Ferguson, to Murnighan, 3 minutes into the game.
