(2)Dawgs (57) v. (7)Eagles (55)
This one came down to the last shot of the game as #2 Dawgs did battle versus #7 Eagles! The Eagles swarming defense was causing the Dawgs to make some mistakes and the Eagles took advantage early! As the Eagles took a 27-21 first half lead! The Dawgs came alive in the third out scoring the Eagles, 17-11, and bringing the game to a 38-38 tie going into the fourth! This game came down to the wire! The Eagles 3pt shooting (44% 3pt) kept them in the game. Down by 1pt, Quez grabbed an offensive rebound and put the shot back in with :05 seconds left! The Dubs called time and took the ball in at half court. Two passes and the ball was in the hands of Jalen, after a pump fake he took a dribble to his left and let it fly. Nothing but net as time went to 0:00! What a game!

D2
(2)Gators v. (7)Team Royalty
The first matchup in the D2 division brings the #2 seeded Gators versus #7 Team Royalty! The difference in this game is that the Gators were ready and Team Royalty wasn't! Dennis A. (16p 6r 6a) led his team in scoring and assists. The Gators had scoring across the board. They shot a season high 54% (25-46 fgs)! Team Royalty had a rough beginning. They only had four players to start the game and by the time the rest of their players showed up it was too late! AJ (11pts) and Shawn (10pts) did all they could do but it wasn't enough as the Gators went on to win the game, 63-40!

(3)The Fam v. (6)GPC
This game started off at a snails pace! As #3 The Fam took on #6 GPC. The scoreboard didn't have much action in the beginning of the game but after a few minutes the ball finally was going through the hoop! The Fam was able to take a 25-17 halftime lead. The shooting improved throughout the game for both teams (The Fam 17-39 / 44%; GPC 14-35 / 40%). Jessie led his team to victory with inspired play! He and James Soy were consistent members as The Fam took the lead and never relinquished it! GPC on the other hand had a rough time shooting the rock! Jordan's 14pts led the way for GPC.
