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.

@Lemonshine: Thank you for reminding the community that games are on Tuesday, I totally forgot so it's appreciated.

Thanks to an injury in the first minute I think.

I did see Gianotta got injured which was a massive blow for Zeus.


@Overmars hahaha, I agree!

Before the game I expected to lose a close game. Gianotta would have been against Mouchot when defending, and he went on to score 23 so yes, definitely a big factor in the win.

And of course crunch vs TIe is a bit of a mugging.

Who needs the cup when you're 10-3 in the EBBL

Firstly, sorry to ElMacca for the injury. Though obviously it wasn't my fault, I hate when it happens to an opponent.

Was a bit of an aggressive game by us all through it really. Ezmir was ejected early for his second flagrant. Thankfully, he didn't injure anyone on those two fouls.

Was a bit of an ugly game for me. We didn't have a lot left after tuesday's efforts. In fact, I'd intended for Fallon not to play so long today, but he had to fill in after the ejection. At least he helped us to "win" the 4th quarter and give us something to take from the game.

Congrats to ElMacca on yet another cup semi final, good luck next week.

QUARTER FINAL SUMMARY
After hard fought games on Tuesday, the teams who advanced returned to action two days later to battle it out to make the semi's. The four match ups saw four EBBL sides drawn up against four division II opponents with all EBBL teams advancing with relative ease showing their class over their lower ranked competitors. The closest match up was between Doncaster Hawks and Stinkilemons with the latter prevailing by a margin of 18 points. Wrose Warriors fought hard against holders Tide of Fire but last seasons champions proved too much with the score finishing at 74-96. The other two games saw Tatatallfella fella and Galaxy Walkers win by over 50 points against Durham Wasps and JR Knights respectively.

After a season of high hopes of a division II team making the final, four EBBL teams occupied the last four spots available to make it an all-EBBL semi final. The two match ups see Tide of Fire come up against Stinkilemons whilst Galaxy Walkers will battle it out against Tatatallfella.

Teams are as follows:
EBBL (4/16)
II.1 (0/16)
II.2 (0/16)
II.3 (0/16)
II.4 (0/16)

Good luck to all of the four teams.

Also, my apologies for a late report, been busy the last week with my apprenticeship.
