The Bracket
Team A vs. Team D
Team B vs. Team C
The Results / My Predictions
Team A defeats Team D by 6. Their interior defense and rebounding with Bingham, Nicholson, and Johnson leads them to the win.
Team B defeats Team C by 5. Team B’s athleticism with Pearson, Moore, and Terry, combined with Corner’s inside prescense, leads to a victory.
CONSOLATION FINALS:
Team D defeats Team C by 2. This is a must see game between two high speed and perimeter oriented teams.The ball handlers like Yaklich, Rollins, and Jones are tough to stop, especially when combined with efficient players like Bush and Bergin.
THE FINALS:
Team A defeats Team B by 2. Team A just has too much size and defense once again. Carlos Johnson, an elite do-it-all star, leads the way with a double-double in the championship game.
