0.5 pt.Next matchup is... Another Big 8 battle against two long term top tier rivals. This is indeed a rival game for the rockets so some extra fan expectations are on the line.
Saturday 8:00:00 PM EST Dark Matter @ Mighty Moose Rockets These two teams look very close, especially if you look at last season's standings.
(https://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/12/overview.aspx?seaso...)They finished 1st and 2nd in the Big 8 last two seasons and they seemed favorites to duke it out to be conference champs again. However, Mighty Moose Rockets won that battle going on to the finals both seasons.
With the Rockets currently looking to move on from Rodrigo Exequiel Cuberas
(50330560). It will be a big question mark on the team's fortunes moving forward.
They have played 6 times in the last 2 seasons with them splitting the series 3-3. This should be our most tantelizing matchup yet.
