IBL | Season 10 | Division 2 Playoff Preview


FCP

Division 2

D2Playoffs

 

#7 UNDFTD vs. #10 Bromantic

In what was considered to be their redeem season after a disappointing semi finals loss to the eventual champs Quiksilver in last season’s playoffs has been all but redemption. The former champs and division powerhouse UNDFTD have stunk it up this season on the hardwood, which has landed them in the #7 spot with a 3-4 record. They open the post season taking on the #10 seeded Bromantic who is coming off a win in their opening round game over the #11 seed Dipset.  UNDFTD’s GM has confirmed that regardless of how this post seasons run ends; the team will not be returning next season.  With the emergence of Jazz Freeman as a potent scorer for Bromantic, UNDFTD’s defense will have their hands full. The game will be played according to who shows up. Literally. If UNDFTD can get all their players in the gym then this game is theirs. However if they don’t we will be looking at a #2 vs. #10 match up in the semi’s.

 

#8 Special Delivery vs. #9 MMG

In the 8 v. 9 matchup we have Special Delivery led by Lester Cole taking on the #9 seeded rookie team MMG. Special Delivery has regressed since last season’s disappointing playoff run where they fell to eventual runner-up HighLife. MMG has flown under the radar much of the season and haven’t really had any signature wins to date. Special Delivery should win this game just based off experience. They’ve been to the playoffs before and they know what it takes. Regardless of not having the team’s two key players from last season’s run (Alwyn Jordan & Sammeon Waller).

 

#3 American Deficit vs. #6 HOOPAHOLICS

The reigning champs of Division 2 will kick off their latest post season run when they take on the #6 seeded HOOPAHOLICS in the 2nd round of the Division 2 playoffs. American Deficit has played under the radar for the most part of the season, and managed to secure the #3 seed with a 5-2 regular season record. With the core of last season’s championship team returning, GM Richard Hak added former BYU Point Guard Lamont Morgan to the mix for their race to the repeat.  On the other side of things, we have the HOOPAHOLICS, who are a well oiled fundamentally sound machine.  This team may not have the most athletic players, but they have been known to punish opponents with their execution, and selfless team play. If any team is capable of upsetting the champs and kicking off the post season with a bang it would be the HOOPAHOLICS.
