Please use this thread to post your team(s) roster(s) for AORBC II, as well as any RP posts. There will be an RP bonus added into the simulation, so you will stand a better chance of success if you do post something. Rankings count toward the simulation too, but we'd like to see some good RPing here. Anyway, the first RP bonus will be given toward day one if you at least post a roster. Rosters should include player's name, jersey number, and height. |

Size Does Matter
Emory Mastella pored over records from the 1st AOBC, at times pulling out his hair. Queen Sonya had given him the job of putting men's and women's basketball teams together that would actually compete in the second tourney.
Nine teams had indicated a desire to compete for the men's title this time around, while the women's pool had grown from two - four. Looking at the scores from the previous tourney, several things stood out that would have to be addressed on the men's side (the women only played one game so not much info to go on there)
Five ranked teams returned to join 4 newcomers this time around. The 3rd through 5th ranked teams of Nedalia, Myrtannia, and Khazaron showed great balance and the ability to adapt to the type of game being played by the opponent. That would be hard to contend with.
2nd ranked ASMV showed the most explosive offense of the first tourney, averaging over 100 points per games until the finals. Top ranked Lamoni was a different story all together. They boasted the best defense of the first tourney, even shutting down the normal points assault that the Hoop Dragons were known for.
Now the problem was how to deal with all of that and be competitive. The answer was simple for Mastella. Size. And with an average team height of nearly 6'8, the Mystics would have plenty of that. Only two players on the roster were under 6'5 - and the three 7 footers on the roster would make a definate impact.
And then came the group draw, which was very nice all things considered. The favorites in the group would have to be those high-flying Hoop Dragons and their potent offense. But no other ranked teams made the group. The third team would be Geisenfried, another new team with a massive front line. But as they are untested as well as we are, we do feel comfortable with our chances of beating them and possibly grabbing one of those coveted playoff spots. The key of course will be how well we can use our size to stop both Geisenfried and ASMV.
The women's side is much more wide open. Myrtannia beat ASMV in the only women's game of the first tourney. And we open women's play against ASMV. Who knows how that one will come out. |

They're Baaack! Myrtrannian Roundball Teams Suit Up for AORBCII
HALOSEN, Myrtannia - It's been a while, but the Second Atlantian Oceania Regional Basketball Championship is set to begin in 24 hours or so. The first event brought inter regional attention to Myrtannia, if somewhat breifly, and the Allied States are looking forward to the second time around. In the men's division, there's one more team than before, and in the women's the field has doubled from 2 to 4.
On the men's ('main event' to some) side, the team formerly known as the Nationals is now known as the Suns, a nod to the gridball team that lost due to a controversial, most likely flawed call in the semi-finals after going 5-0. Also, 'Suns' just sounded better, as coach Al-Hakim told the press.
"It rolls off the tongue so much better.. try it - Nationals.. or Suns... see the difference," the coach of the Fourth ranked Myrtannian team told the press.
This time around, the Suns have most of their vets of AORBC I returning to do battle once again on the hardwood, hoping to do better than the first time around. After going 4-2, the Myrtannians lost two in a row to ASMV and then Nedalia to finish 4-4, and in fourth place. Now, the Suns are looking to get to the podium, and have added a trio of new faces from the Mytrannian Basketball League.
Amongst them is reserve forward Irwin Bartmettler, the MBL's sixth-man award winner last season and a talented swingman when shooting the ball, as well as a scrappy defender. Also joining the team is new starting PG Kirby Rylant, a second-year star who led Damascos to the MBL Finals, something they'd never done before. He's expected to pass the ball more often then shoot it, and to pick up some steals along the way. Finally, there's the big man - the replacement for the weak link on the AORBC I edition Nationals - all seven and a half feet of rookie center Vito Munise. The MBL Rookie of the Year, Munise averaged a double-double (26.7 PPG, 15 RBG), and was the first rookie to lead the league in blocks.
The Suns face a difficult Group draw, as they enter Group B with a newcomer to AORBC, who probably won't be a problem, but the other team in B will. No less than the defending AORBC champion Lamoni Hawks, led by the undersized but super-talented Hugh Humber. It should come down to a battle for first in the group between Myrtannia and Lamoni, with the champs winning the group. Myrtannia has a bye on day one, and will open up play against Iksonic on day two.
On the other side of the floor is the pride of Myrtannian basketball - the defending regional champion Dryads. Granted they only played one game in AORBC I, but the Dryads look set to make a strong run at a second consecutive title. With two bench players retiring since AORBC I, the Dryads replaced them with a pair of second-year players, including forwards Margaret Averbach and Tempie Vandenbagh. The other newbie, and another rookie, is new starting center Ping Seek, the 'token' big woman of the WMBL at 6'7". She takes over the spot that current starting PF Sara Golden held in AORBC I. The shift in positions, coach Dakkon, explained, was to give the Dryads better size against the two newcomers in the women's division.
In the women's division, the top two finishers <i>should</i> be ASMV and Myrtannia, but as we all know, anything can happen. Geisenfried is new to AO sporting competitions, but could make a statement if they find a way to win against Myrtannia on the opening day of women's basketball. Dorian and Sonya usually field spirited teams, and should be a challenger for the crown of AORBC II Women's Champions. |

Hoop Dragons Ready To Play
The Hoop Dragons return to the AOBC with one simple goal - Avenge a finals loss in AOBC 1 to the Hawks of Lamoni and their undersized superstar Hugh Humber. That means that ASMV does intend to crush all competition en route to obtaining that goal.
AOBC II see 5 seeded teams return for some action as well as 4 newcomers to the hard court. Lamoni, of course, will be the team to beat here. But ASMV's #2 ranking will also have a bullseye painted on their backs. Khazaron, Myrtannia, and Nedalia will also be looking to improve on their finishes last time around.
Now for the group ASMV was given to return to the playoffs through:
Dorian and Sonya. Newcomers to the Ao sports scene, but always spunky. And it would seem very Large. 3 players over 7' will look to eliminate the inside presence of Robby Malla and Alvaro Nouri. Luckily we dont look to score inside as often as some with the balzing firepower of Nolan Garrigus and Kendi Ayudan beginning on the perimeter for an outside-in attack.
Geisenfried. Another team with a huge front line. But these guys can score, too. 101 points in their 1st game against D&S matched the Hoop Dreagon average for the first tourney. We will count on Malla's 20 rebounds per game to eliminate their second chance points.
It all boils down to us handling our business. If we play up to the potential we have, then we should easily move into the next round. But you can bet that D&S and Geisenfried will be looking for the upset.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the women's tourney. We actually have one this time around. Geisenfried and Dorian and Sonya both enter the competition with BIG things to prove. A massive front line from Geisenfried and a massive entire team from D&S have already caused Myrtannia to adjust their personell to match up against the bigger girls the two newcomers will put on the court. At leat Myrtannia is worried about that. We are not. All that size comes with a drawback - loss of speed. The Lady Dragons will look to use that advantage as we attempt to litterally run the feet off of them. If things work according to plan, we should own the 4th quarter of every game, giving us the distinct advantage. There is one drawback though. If the other teams keep us from playing our running style - two words - utter defeat. We dont have near enough size to match up with any of the 3 teams in a half-court game. |

Ulric leads Lancers over Dorian & Sonya
Forward Dumps 41 on Mystics, Establishes Presence
NINIISTO, MYRTANNIA- Southeast of Geisenfried, across the Taaru Sea, lies the small, friendly nation of Myrtannia. For the next couple of weeks, they will play host to some of the best and wildest basketball on the planet, as the Second Atlantian Oceania Regional Basketball Championship, or AORBC II, gets underway. Among the teams competing are Geisenfried's own men's national team, the Lancers, as well as their female counterpart, the Lady Lancers, who seek to put Geisenfried into the regional sporting scene.
The Lancers started on the right foot yesterday, beating the Dorian and Sonya Mystics 101-91 in Elimico Stadium last night. Leading the way for the Lancers was small forward Johann Ulric, who hammered the opposing Mystics with 41 points, dominating his counterparts both offensively and defensively for the entirety of the game. Trailing behind him, shooting guard Bernhard Ostermark and center Luther Adabold combined for another 40 points, with 22 and 18, respectively. Rounding out the starting five was power forward Andrew Sigmar's 8 points and point guard Roger Altdorf's 5 points. From the bench, guard/forward Lothar Midden scored 3 points, and both guard Franz Aver and forward/center Clement Marien scored 2 points for the 101 total.
The game was controlled from beginning to end by the Lancers, who burst out of the gates for an 11-0 lead, and pretty much maintained it for the entire game. In a post game interview, head coach Adrian Kislev stated, "It was an excellent game for our players. I can't say enough on how well Johann played for us. If he can continue this, there will be no doubt in my or anyone else mind that he is one of the premier players in our nation, region, heck, even the world. The defense was great, especially in the beginning, and the offense was amazing. I wish it wasn't so highscoring, but we got more than them, and that's the point, right?"
The Lancers have a bye before playing the divisional powerhouse Andossa Se Mitrin Vega Hoop Dragons. The Lady Lancers' competition starts after the next round of men's games, with their first opponent being the hometown team and regional champion Myrtannia Dryads.
Box Score:
Lancers 101, Mystics 91
------------------------------------
GEIS (1-0) - 31 22 27 21 - 101
D&S (0-1) - 20 25 26 20 - 91

Hawks start on a roll
The defending champion Lamoni Hawks started the AORBC II with a solid 96-77 victory over newcomers Iksonic.
The Hawks will again be sporting a defense oriented team, and with the looks of some of the other teams, they'll need it. Dorian & Sonya for example, are using a lot of tall people in an effort to make it to the knockouts. Don't forget that the other AORBC ranked teams will all be looking to show up the Hawks on their way to 'trying' to claim the title. This of course means that Lamoni will have a HUGE imaginary painted bulls-eye on their backs.
Undersized superstar Hugh Humber has returned to the second AORBC, and looks to even IMPROVE on his impressive performance in the first AORBC. As you might recall, Hugh provided a lot of points to the Hawk's trophy run. He also provided key defensive plays; like the blocked shot against ASMV that won the trophy.
Lamoni has been placed in Group B for AORBC II; with Iksonic, and our Myrtannian neighbors rounding out the group. In our opinion, both Lamoni and Myrtannia will give Iksonic the business. Of course, Iksonic could always surprise people, so we won't rule it out. Still, with the Hawk victory over Iksonic, Myrtannia is being considered Lamoni's biggest group threat.
"We can beat them [Myrtannia]," said Hugh Humber, "but the games against Myrtannia should be fairly close. Myrtannia finished fourth in AORBC I, and will be doing their best to improve on that rank.
Here are the Group B standings so far:
Group B (wins/losses/GB)
Lamoni: 1-0, --
Myrtannia: 0-0, N/A
Iksonic: 0-1, 0.5
Lamoni - 96
Iksonic - 77 |

Suns Ready For Action; Day One Over and Done
SKALATUR, Fergot Province - As Day One of the Second Atlantian Oceania Regional Basketball Championship got underway, the 'home team' rested up and practiced casually at a local high school. The Myrtannia Suns, ranked fourth in the region after losing the third place match to Nedalia in AORBC I, are primed and ready for action. Guard Rahir Abdul, the star of the inagural Myrtannian team in AORBC I, was drilling long range shots like nobody's business. If anything, it seems that he's gotten better since the first AORBC.
"This tournament started in Myrtannia, and we did fairly well last time, considering it was our first tournament in AO at all," Abdul said, "But we're always trying to improve ourselves - this time, we're going to make every effort to crack the top three in the regional rankings."
The Suns may have a very good shot at making the knockouts - though the group includes defending champion Lamoni, it also includes an Iksonic squad that got itself steamrolled by the champs on day one. Hugh Humber looks tougher than ever, and the Hawks easily strolled away with the 96-77 win over the group's only newcomers. It remains to be seen if the Suns' answer to the undersized but explosive center is the correct one.
The tallest player in AORBC II at 7'6", much has been made of Vito Munise, the middle man for the Suns. He'll get his first inter-regional action against Iksonic on Day Two, before the first showdown with the champion Hawks. Munise has remained eerily quiet so far, mostly spending his time practicing rebounding and free throw shooting.
In other AORBC action, Group A's Day One game saw two returning squads battle it out at Ah-Harim Memorial Colessium in Damascos. Nedalia, last tourney's third best team, went down to Khazaron as the Silver Sharks took a close fought 90-85 victory. Over at Elimico Court in Niniisto, a battle of newcomers took place, in which the Geisenfried Lancers defeated the Dorian and Sonya Mystics by a final tally of 101-91.

Mystics drop first two games
In game 1, the Mystics struggled through their first international basketball game. Lancer forward dropped in 41 points as he single-handedly made the difference in a 101-91 defeat of the Mystics.
On a good note for our team, things were very balanced. Trenton Reents led D&S with 16 points as 7 players scored in double digits. That kind of balance will be key as the Mystics try to recover from the early 0-2 hole they are now in. Only that kind of unselfish team play will make the difference.
Game 2 saw the Mystics run in to a very powerful offensive styled Hoop Dragons team that was fresh off a bye date, while the toll of back-to back games clearly showed for us. And guess what? We were actually competitive. Once again 7 players passed the double digit mark as the 7' tank in the middle led the attack with 19 points. But in the end D&S fell to the #2 ranked team in the tourney 104-93. The bye date will be welcomed as we regroup for a chance to beat the Lancers.
