Fair enough, albeit a slight correction, Galaxy is carrying the highest salaries at the moment but seems to be reshuffling his team still so that could change. Things are very tight in EBBL for most teams so balancing minutes, wins and enthusiasm for the cup is a problem. Many are also out of position training which gets harder as the tournament progresses. As always however the cup continues to throw us fascinating games. Wishing everyone the best of luck!

Minutes are not a 1 week thing imo, they are a 3 week thing.

ROUND FIVE SUMMARY
As we swiftly approach the last few rounds of the tournament, the fifth round oversaw results that saw the last of the BOTs, one EBBL team knocked out and a few division III teams upsetting their high ranked opponents in Division II. The highlight match up saw Stinkilemons defeat an EBBL opponent in Los Mikitos by a score of 85-71, so congratulations go out to the Lemons. All other EBBL teams showcased their class though as we saw Tide of Fire put on a dominating display over Spikey Pumpkins and Tatatallfella defeating Berinsfield Hornets. The game involving two Division II sides in BC Snaiperiai and KD Allstars was also a fantastic game with KD Allstars pulling away in the fourth quarter after a tighly contested first three quarters.

The draw for the last 32 didn't really do any favours for the non-EBBL teams dreaming of lifting the cup as all EBBL teams involved managed to avoid each other. Despite this, there do look some match ups that won't be taken for granted as we close in on the final stages of this season's cup. The two standout games involve Tide of Fire travelling to 16th seed, Bc Giants as well as M Dogs packing for a contest against 18th seed, Triximos Tricks. Additionally there are also some tasty looking games between division II sides, involving SuperHands vs Stiggs, Kotwa vs Wrose Warriors and KD Allstars vs Bulviniai Blynai.

Just like to say a congratulations to the 11 division III teams that remain, it's a fantastic achievement to reach this far and all the best to all teams involved next week.

Leagues are as follows:
EBBL (8/16)
II.1 (2/16)
II.2 (3/16)
II.3 (4/16)
II.4 (4/16)

ROUND SIX SUMMARY
The last 32 illustrated the strength of the EBBL teams as 7 of the 8 remaining from the top division eased through with comfortable wins with Tide of Fire beating BC Giants by a score of 104-83, Gauson beating Carolina BC by 33 points and The Mrmidons winning by a similar margin of 28 points. The game between M Dogs and Triximos Tricks saw an intriguing and action packed four quarters with Triximos scoring a bucket with 2 seconds left to prevail to the last 16 by a score of 88-89.

The draw for the last 16, made a bit later than usual last night, contained 7 EBBL teams, 7 Division II teams and 2 Division III teams. After two rounds of EBBL team's avoiding each other, there were finally a couple of games where they were paired up with Phoenix Warriors taking on Gauson and Tatatallfella playing The Mrymidons. All other match ups are appealing too, including Galaxy Walkers vs Stinkilemons and A Dogs vs Wrose Warriors. The two remaining Division III teams, BC Atletas and Shandys Dandies, were also drawn up against each other so whoever is victorious will be the first division III team to make the quarter finals since M Dogs did back in Season 27.

Good luck to all teams involved and congratulations on getting this far.

Leagues are as follows:
