(14) Leftover Lasagna 73, (2) Put Some Respek 60
Leftover Lasagna kept up their torrid playoff run and advanced to their first final in their 3rd year in the league.

Put Some Respek finished an excellent season with 16 from Tyler Delory and 14 from Cory Pryor. 

(1) BOHICA 58, (5) Youngbloodz 56
BOHICA never lead... until East MVP Ryan Flynn buried a buzzer beating pull up as time expired to send BOHICA to their 8th championship game in 9 years. It was all Youngbloodz early as Ian Converse (20) and Dan Main (11) lead the scoring charge. BOHICA was further setback when emotional leader Anthony Leonelli was ejected by an overmatched rookie official. Youngbloodz took the league into the half +10 and looked like they were bound for their 3rd straight finals appearance. But Sam Longwell (14), Ryan Sheehan (13) and Zack Valliere (10) helped chip away and as time expired Ryan Flynn scored the most important of his 12 points. 

Player of the week: 

Eric Guglielmello, Leftover Lasagna, 22 points at the rim and from beyond the arc leads Leftover to the promised land.

Playoff Finals 

Seeding:
With 3 divisions we decided to go with a power seeding format. Basically a team got a point for a win over a Central Team, 1.5 points for a win over a West and 2.0 for a win over an East. In situations where teams had the same amount of points head to head was the first breaker, then strength of schedule. Leftover lost their tiebreaker by virtue of having a forfeit which makes you automatically lose all tiebreakers. 

Bracket holds. Remember we will move teams up and down for next year based on performance. Also remember we voted on this at the league meeting, show up if you don't like it.
