Agreed, great stuff Gully.

SIXTH ROUND SUMMARY
Prior to the round, the two all-EBBL clashes were definitely the standout games however both ended in slight anti-climaxes with Galaxy Walkers and The Myrmidons convincingly beating new jersey2 and The Arrelles respectively. Both of England's top two sides also advanced with relative ease with Tide of Fire thrashing the Admirals and Tatatallfella cruising past Halucagenic Dayglo. Division II side, JR Knights, caused the upset of the round defeating EBBL side Sabre of Valiente in overtime by a score of 85-76; however in my opinion, the pick of the games saw two II.2 sides in BC Snaiperiai and Doncaster Hawks which saw the latter snatch the win within the last minute.

The last 16 draw does no favours to the division II teams with all EBBL sides avoiding each other. Despite this, some enthralling match ups still remain with The Myrmidons hosting Durham Wasps the pick of them. Galaxy Walkers is also in for another tough shift travelling to the home of Bc Giants whilst Stinkilemons will face off against Vector BC. The last division III side remaining, BC Hermis will bid for a spot in the last 8 with a home game against JR Knights.

Teams are as follows:
EBBL (5/16)
II.1 (1/16)
II.2 (3/16)
II.3 (4/16)
II.4 (2/16)

I was looking forward to at least 80k next week from the Cup but it looks like its not going to happen now.

Great history report Gully! really enjoyed that. I will be cheering you on in this round of the tourney as well mate. Keep up the great work!

Great game Sabre in the last round, well played and good luck to everyone else in the tourney in this next round.

FIX. The top teams using their financial muscle to keep themselves separate I bet. Awful stuff.

LAST 16 SUMMARY
The pick of the match ups for the last 16 saw EBBL high flyers The Myrmidons take on promotion contenders Durham Wasps which saw the latter book their place in the quarter finals thanks to a 8 point victory. Division II side Bc Giants gave a good showing against Galaxy Walkers but the EBBL side proved to be too good, winning 92-74. The other EBBL teams in that round all progressed with Tatatallfella defeating OLYMPIACOS 1925, Stinkilemons overcoming Vector BC and Tide of Fire victorious against Lithuania BC. The last remaining division III side was also knocked out by JR Knights.

The quarter final draw saw the top four rated sides in England represent the EBBL whilst the four remaining division II teams will each represent a different league. The fixtures will which take place on Thursday will see Durham Wasps take on Tatatallfella, former EBBL side Wrose Warriors battle it out against holders Tide of Fire, Stinkilemons matched up against Doncaster Hawks and Galaxy Walkers drawn against JR Knights.

Thanks to an injury in the first minute I think.
