Lamoni wins close fought game
If you want to make it to the top, you have to learn how to win the close ones. That is what Lamoni did today against Az-Cz, the half court shot at the end notwithstanding. You might think that it was Superman who was Lamoni's top scorer, but in this match, you would be wrong. Max Stromberg had the Midas touch at the three point line, making six out of seven in the first half. Stromberg had fourty three points when the final buzzer sounded; while Hugh Humber was held to nine points.
This game clearly shows something that the Lamonian AORBC community has known for quite a while. As good as Superman is, he can't do everything; so the other people on the team have to be able to step up and take over when the opposition throws everything that it has against Humber. Stromberg answered the call in this game, and that is why Lamoni won it. That, and a well timed steal by Superman himself at the end of the game.
Both Lamoni and Az-Cz looked impressive out on the floor, as this game was always fairly close. We fully recognize that if some things had gone Az-Cz's way, they would have won. That is not what happened, however; and Lamoni got the win.
Lamoni faces Dorian & Sonya next, and should retain their second place spot with a win. While the Hawks would still qualify for the knockouts with a loss, they would much rather smash their way through the group stages, especially after the loss to Bazalonia in their first game day of AORBC III. Lamoni and D&S are friends, with the company Sabre Inc. of D&S even going so far as to design the uniforms for the Hawks, but don't expect that to affect how things go on the court. Lamoni will be looking to retain it's second place spot with a win, and D&S would feel a lot more secure in their chances of going to the knockouts with a win over Lamoni. Expect this to be a hard fought game, but Lamoni should win this one. Sorry D&S, but that is how the stats go.
Lamoni - 92
Az-Cz - 90 |

Mystics Fall to Baz. Lady Mystics Win in OT - Still Undefeated
The Mystics were looking to ruin Bazalonia’s perfect little run in the men’s competition of the AORBC3. And it looked as if they would do just that during the first 3 quarters of action. D&S had a massive lead that looked completely insurmountable. Then it happened. Hunter Pomainville, the leader of the Mystics and arguably the best player in the tournament, came down wrong as he challenged the Bazalope center for a rebound. The result was , thank God, a severely sprained ankle that could have been much worse. But it was enough to shake the Mystics confidence and Bazalonia took full advantage by getting into the open court and converting while Aurelio Poreda and Kurtis Culler struggled to fill the void left in Pomainville’s absence. In the end, it was the bazalopes who made the magnificent comeback to win the game 102-96. Pomainville is expected to start vs.Lamoni. But the action could be limited for him. Only time will tell.
Lamoni seems to think they, and Hugh Humber, have the advantage. We will not dispute that fact, especially if Pomainville cant play up to his normal level of excellence. The Sylvanaes Kingdom and Lamoni are friends, as was stated. But there is another saying “We’re only friends until the first whistle blows. After that, I’ll beat you down.” That about sums it up. Sorry. You know how it is.
In women’s action, the Lady Mystics faced off against the rival Dryads of Myrtannia. The last meeting had been close and this one looked to be no different.
All game long, things were back and forth. Neither team was able to gain an advantage. Neither team was willing to let the other get ahead. Neither team wanted to lose this one. 27 lead changes, balanced scoring for both sides, and hard play throughout, brought regulation to a close at an impressive 90-90 score.
It was in overtime that D&S took the advantage. Myrtannia didn’t have an answer for reserve guard Sparkle Siles who hit three treys to put D&S ahead for good. The game ended with D&S taking a 106-104 victory and remaining undefeated.
The win accomplishes something very special. Just as the Bazalonia men made it through the group stage undefeated, D&S has done so in the women’s tourney. And we beat both former champions to do it. That makes things very interesting for the knock out stage. But at least Myrtannia and ASMV will be on the other side of the bracket. Khazaron’s men also have a chance to go undefeated in the group stage if they can get past Quakmybush in the final game.

Bye date Means No Loss For Hoop Dragons
ASMV sputtered against Lamoni and took a much needed break. The Hoop Dragons were in trouble. Losses to Bazalonia and Lamoni, combined with Khazaron looking very solid in the other group, had hurt the team’s chances of finally winning a Championship. In fact, they might not even qualify for the next round. So much for being ranked number 1. No team that has never won a title should ever be ranked number 1.
But the Hoop Dragons were ready for their final game against the newcomers from Az-Cz. This one we will win. This is the one where we make a statement to the rest of the teams here. This is where we begin our championship run. As long as no one wakes me up that is.
Lady Dragons Roll To Easy Win
The women have been doing better. The 19 point thrashing of the Socialist Union Reds was a return to form after the disappointing result against the Lady Mystics. The Lady dragons are now 2-1 and face old rivals from AORBC 1’s only women’s game that gave Myrtannia a title. The games with the Dryads have always been fun to watch. This one shouldn’t be any different as they enter the game 2-1 as well, fresh off an OT loss to D&S. Hopefully they will still be tired as we try to make our claim for another Championship Title. |

On the Dribbling Bazalopes day off the team spent their time watching The Lamoni - Dorian and Sonya match. Many expected the Lamoni Hawks to win by a somewhat reasonable margin however the team was treated to an Overtime treat as Lamoni took the game by a only a few points.
After the game the Dribbling Bazalopes first went to visit the Lamonian hawks and congratulated them on their win. Explaining that they really enjoyed the spectacle of the game. After a bit of time the team would have visited the Mystics of Dorian and Sonya but they realised that with the loss the Mystics would be the 8th ranked team and they would be the team they'd encounter next. Either way, the relatioship between the Dribbling Bazalopes and the Hawks continued to firm
......
"And welcome to the BazSports Coverage of the 3rd Atlantian Oceania Regional Basketball Championship. I'm your Host Denis Rainy.
Today saw the Dribbling Bazalopes take a restful day and watch the Lamonian/Dorian & Sonyan Overtime thriller, so we have no Dribbling Bazalope news to bring to you, but what we do have is that after the group Stage has ended both Both Bazalonia and Khazaron have exhibited a perfect group stage winning all their matches so far and Khazaron will be the team for the Dribbling Bazalopes to do Battle with.
In the Quarter finals of the 3rd Atlantian Ocean Regional Basketball Championship, The Bazalopes will once again face the Mystics of Dorian and Sonya, they beat them once, but the question is can they do it again? our ranking difference of 1/8 says we can but the Mystics will want to prove that they are infact the better team after leading through out the game and only allowing the Dribbling Bazalopes to come back in the last quarter of the game.
Will the mystics take down a seemingly unstoppable Dribbling Bazalopes or will the Dribling Bazalopes take the result that befits their position as the number 1 seed in the final series.
Should Dribbling Bazalopes beat the MYstics they will face either Lamoni or Myrtannia, Should Lamoni win against the Myrtannian Dryads then it will be the second final seeries that the Dribbling Bazalopes has faced the Lamoni Hawks, and should Andossa Se Mitrin Vega win against the host's team and beat the winner of the Khazaron-Nedalia match,m of course expected to be Khazaron then it will be an all Group A affair for the Dribbling Bazalopes throughout the tournament.
Exactly if the Dribbling Bazalopes can get to the final and have a perfect run through the entireity of the 3rd Atlantian Oceania Regional Basketball Championship and giving the Dribbling Bazalopes their first basketball championship. |

Az-cz eliminated from AORBC, no one much cares
Today was the last match of the group round of the AORBC. Az-cz was playing against might Andossa Se Mitrin Vega with a slim hope of getting into the knockout stages. However Andossa Se Mitring Vega put a quash to that early. They ran out to a big first half lead and never looked back.
When things started to go bad for no one really seemed to care. News had filtered in that the football team had won the Baptism of Fire in dominating fashion and there was no way to kill the positive vibes. Not even the 22 point thrashing ASMV laid on Az-cz.
After the game we caught ub to Sh-Bob and here's what he had to say. "Look losing is a disappointment to be sure. But we showed some skills, we nearly beat Lamoni and for the most part shutdown superman and made our presence felt. We'll be back more ready to compete next time. Although our results are disappointing with the Footballers bringing home a trophy and Kleptochase quickly gaining popularity, sports are definitely on the rise in Az-cz." Coach Mk-Mnty added "We're just a little behind the curve. Atlantian Oceania has a reputation for sports juggernauts for a reason. It'll take time for us to catch up, especially considering our height disadvantage. But we showed that we're not too far from winning. I expect that in the next AORBC we'll be able to find some victories."

Hawks make knockouts in second place
After a Lamonian win against D&S and some ranking confusion, Lamoni was correctly placed in the second seed of group B. This means that Lamoni will face ASMV in the first part of the knockouts. As you may recall, Lamoni shut ASMV's offense down during the group stages; and the Hawks will be looking to do it again. We may not have the perfect records of either Khazaron or Bazalonia, but no one will dispute that we have a VERY good shot at winning our second AORBC title.
As far as the game against D&S went, Lamoni won in overtime; turning what was expected to be a Lamonian blowout into a fairly good game. The result of this game does not mean that Lamoni is slowing down, but that the rest of the region is starting to catch up. We had a fairly free ride in AORBC I, and we didn't expect that to last.
Superman scored thirty points in the game, with Stromberg continuing to be a three point threat. Stromberg hit nine of ten three point attempts, and that helped to propel Lamoni over D&S.
Now Lamoni's focus is on it's upcoming match against ASMV. Since the rankings mix-up, we don't know who we will face after that, and we probably won't find out until after the match. However, it is Lamonian philosophy to concentrate on what is directly in front of yourselves; lest you trip over your own boots.

Suns Finish Strong, Face Crimson Stars Once Again in KO's
After a minor setback against defending AORBC champion Khazaron, the Myrtannia Suns have been on fire, finishing with an impressive 3-1 record in the group stage. This was achieved with wins over Quakmybush and the host Socialist Union, the latter on the final group stage day. Two wins over two newcomers gave the defending bronze medalists the fourth seed in the knockouts, and a second round with the Socialist Union squad.
In the group stage matchup, the Suns were challenged early and often by the Crimson Stars, who were battling to try and finish as high in the standings as they could. A victory might have catapulted the hosts into third place, but luck was not with the hosts this time. After the first three quarters ending in ties, Myrtannia broke away in the fourth and stayed ahead.
Once again it was Vito Munise leading the way for the Suns, scoring 18 in the fourth quarter alone, outscoring the Crimson Stars as well as his Suns teammates. The star center finished with 35 points and 15 rebounds. A late 8-0 run put the Suns ahead 93-85, and despite a late pair of baskets, the Suns emerged victorious. Final tally in this one was 93-89.
Next up, the Suns face the Socialist Union in round one of the knockouts, which was supposed to have taken place yesterday, but no news of any such games has been released. It's always difficult to face the same team twice in a row, because that second time they know your tricks. However, the more experienced Suns should prevail, and would most likely face the surprisingly successful Bazalonians in the semi-finals.
*********************
Dryads Drop Lady Dragons Once, Can They Do It Again?
In the women's divison, the Myrtannia Dryads also finished 3-1, culminating in an exciting win over their main AORBC rival, ASMV's Lady Dragons. Through three tournaments, Myrtannia and ASMV have battled in the women's division, though last AORBC saw the Dryads fall in the semis to Dorian & Sonya. This time, the knockouts have provided a rematch of the long-running basketball rivalry between the Dryads and Lady Dragons.
The group stage matchup was a 96-90 affair in which the Dryads won a very close game, thanks once again to the combined efforts of Ping Seek and Cheryle Odmark. Ping racked up 26 points to go with 12 rebounds and 8 blocks, while Odmark contributed 19 points and 14 assists.
In the knockouts, anything can happen, especially when the two teams that have won AORBC women's titles clash in the opening round. Only the game itself will tell whether or not the Dryads move on for a chance to win title number 2. |

Lamoni wins again
The Hawks are turning out to be the master of the close game in AORBC III. They won another close one today, but lets get to the other things first.
Both Max Stromberg and Superman had high scores today; 25 points for both of them. The fans even gave Stromberg a nickname today, calling him the 'bomber,' for his mastery of the three point shot.
Lamoni won this game for two reasons. Scoring and defense. While the Lamonian defense again shut down the ASMV offense, the Superman/Bomber duo led the rest of the team over the hump to victory. When ASMV put in an all out effort late in the fourth quarter, it was a nothing but net three point shot from Stromberg (scored with a full minute left in the game) that put the game out of ASMV's reach.
<picture of game winning three>
AORBC history has shown that the team that defeats ASMV in the knockouts will go on to win the AORBC title. While two completed AORBC's does not constitute a lot of history, ASMV is almost garunteed to be mad and worried about this trend. Does this signal a Lamonian title run? We don't know, but things will become a little clearer after the Hawk's next match. Lamoni faces Khazaron in a match between the only two nations to win AORBC titles. Both teams are playing well right now, so this should be THE game to watch. While we think that Lamoni will win (What? We have national pride too!), the oddsmakers are predicting that this will be either side's game. It will all come down to who can shut down the other teams offense. While Lamoni has lots of good experience at this; so does Khazaron.

Mystics Shock Bazalonia in OT
The D&S Mystics somehow managed enough points in the group stage to advance to play the mighty Bazalopes in the opening round of AORBC 3 quarter-finals. It wasn’t that the Mystics had actually played badly, but being in the same group with ASMV and Lamoni as well as the new high-flying act of Bazalonia seemed to put a huge damper on our chances. But thanks to Az-Cz we managed to avoid the bottom spot and slide into the next round.
The meeting in the group stage had seen the Dribbling Bazalopes walk away with the win. That would not be allowed to happen again. And Hunter Pomainville was just the man to put a damper on the perfect record of the Bazalopes.
Bazalonia rolled to an early 1st quarter lead of 32-13. But that might have just been the thing that ruined them. Led by Pomainville, the Mystics chipped away at the lead and cut it to 13 points by halftime.
Lackadaisical efforts from Bazalonia in the third quarter allowed D&S to quietly cut the lead to just 9 points. That would set up a major 4th quarter ralley that would leave the Bazalonia team wondering just what had happened.
Harris “Senister” Glenister entered the game as the 4th quarter got underway and immediately made an impact. Back to Back treys had the Mystics pulled within 3 points. Pomainville continued to dominate the paint and now with Glenister had the help he needed. By the final seconds of the game D&S had taken a 3 point lead and only a remarkable shot from just over the half-court line would send the game to overtime at 90-90.
Then the “Senister Hunter” show put the Bazalopes away for good as D&S earned a hard fought 106-102 victory over what had been the best team in the tourney to that point. Pomainville would finish with 48 points while Glenister added 19 in the 4th and OT.
That sets up a confrontation with the Suns of Myrtannia in the quarter-finals. Myrtannia has cruised to a 4-1 record with their only loss coming to Khazaron. But we feel that the tougher competition in our own group coupled with the win over Baz will lift us to the point where we can move past Myrtannia to the finals.
******************************************************************************************
The Lady Mystics face newcomers Quakmybush in the semis of the Women’s tourney. In the first meeting, Quak was more competitive than expected. But this time the Lady Mystics will not take the upstarts for granted. After the game, we should move into the finals to face one of two rivals in women’s basketball. Myrtannia and ASMV pose different threats and both are capable of winning a second title. But it is the Lady Mystics that will be looking to take home their first. |

Lady Dragons To Face Myrtannia - Again
After the Hoop Dragons lost their Quarter-final match-up with Lamoni, we have nothing to say except that we wish the Hawks luck as they move on to face Khazaron.
The Lady Dragons, on the other hand, are still alive and face the Myrtannia Dryads in the semis. It seems we always run into them in games that are important. This one will be no different as both teams are trying to win a second AORBC title. And it seems that a major opponent will await the winner in the form of a very solid D&S Lady Mystics team who should beat Quakmybush in their game. The three-way race for the title seems to favor the lady Mystics as Myrtannia and ASMV will beat up on each other first. But that’s the way things go. But our plan is simple. Run til the opponent gets tired, run til we get tired, and just for the hell of it - run some more. So expect a high scoring game if the lady Dragons are on the court. |

Lamoni tops Khazaron
Things couldn't be going better for Lamoni right now if God himself had annointed them. With a drubbing of Khazaron, the Hawks move on to face Myrtannia for the AORBC title game. Both Lamoni and Myrtannia have put up impressive records to this point, and both teams look like they could eat nails and human babies. Uhhhh... that was just a figure of speach, of course. The consumption of nails and human babies is not something that we encourage you to try at home, kids.
Superman and Bomber combined for fifty points, helping to put this game well out of Khazaron's reach while the Lamonian defense slowed the Khazaronian offense. Some saw this match up of the only two AORBC title winners to date as a chance for the Hawks to take revenge for Khazaron's winning of the title in AORBC II. None of this was evident on the Lamonian team; however. Both sides were friendly with each other before and after the match, but both sides were also well into the emotions of the game.
Lamoni is well on track to capturing it's second AORBC title, and a well deserved one that it would be. No one had this kind of record in mind when the Lamonian team lost that first match to Bazalonia, but whatever the coach did after that has proved to be extremely effective. Both Lamonian offense and defense has stepped up, and this team is looking almost exactly like the team that took AORBC I by storm. Myrtannia has proven to be a very good friend and ally to the Free Republic, but don't expect that to make much of a difference in this game. It will be a fight to the finish, and this sportscaster will break the mold and be a little biased. I think that Lamoni will win. They've been to the AORBC finals before, and know what to expect. They'll be scoring while Myrtannia is still standing there while dazzled from all the starting ceremonies. Okay, I better stop that now.

Myrtannia Slips Past D&S, ASMV; Lamoni, D&S Await in Championships
Victory in the semi-finals. After much frustration in inter-regional sporting, a Myrtannian team has finally made it past the semi-final round in knockouts. In a tournament that's seen some impressive upsets, the Suns making it to the title game couldn't have been forseen. With ASMV outed in the quarts, along with Bazalonia, then defending champion Khazaron in the semis, this could be Myrtannia's AORBC.
So far, they've been flying mostly under the radar, finishing the group stage 3-1, and then drawing a fairly easy matchup with the host Socialist Union. Once they bounced the Crimson Stars out of the tournament, Myrtannia's next opponent was the Mystics of Dorian and Sonya. While the Bazalopes had been expected to advance past the eight seed, D&S played their hearts out and took an overtime win to advance.
Myrtannia was the higher seed, but Dorian and Sonya wouldn't have let anyone know that by the way they played. The Mystics kept the pressure turned up for four quarters, and the fate of the game was always seemingly on a fine line between victory and defeat. Some even thought there was a good chance that the game might go into overtime.
Vito Munise continued his strong play with 27 points, but D&S' Hunter Pomainville nearly matched the Suns center point-for-point. With seconds ticking away in the fourth quarter, the score tied at 95, the Mystics brought in Harris Glenister, nicknamed 'Senister' by fans, to try and get them ahead. Glenister promptly nailed a jumper just inside the three point line, putting the Mystics up 97-95.
Coach Al-Hakim called a 20 second timeout, and designed a play nearly from scratch, designed to give the Suns a chance to leapfrog ahead of the Mystics. In addition, he sent reserve players Prince Manolis and Tad Trentinella out onto the court to get some fresh bodies on the floor after a physical game.
Kirby Rylant inbounded the ball to Vito, who passed it behind the back out to Manolis when a D&S defender came over to pressure him. Left open, Prince Manolis shot a three, the ball leaving his hands just as the buzzer rang. Everyone on the Myrtannian bench held their breath as the ball arced toward the hoop... and then swished in the net. Myrtannia had won at the buzzer, 98-97, beating the Curse temporarily, if not permanently.
Wild celebration at the stadium for the Suns' victory was much different than what the Myrtannia Dryads showed in their semi-final win. Playing a game where they controlled the tempo, slowing it down to a pace that Ping and Co. were comfortable with, they AORBC I women's champions slugged it out with ASMV's Lady Dragons. At the end of the close game, the Dryads just pulled away, the scoring capped with yet another Ping Seek dunk.
The question for both teams is now this: the Curse is apparently on holiday, so can one or both actually bring home a title? In the women's division, the Dryads face the still unbeaten Dorian & Sonya Lady Mystics, who advanced with a big win over upstart Quakmybush. Once again, the two teams will clash in a playoff game, this one for all the marbles. While D&S have played extremely well, Myrtannia's experience might be the difference. This one can go either way.
In the men's division, some might say the main event, Myrtannia's Suns will now face regional neighbor and AORBC I champion Lamoni. These two teams know each other quite well, having been in the same group in each of the first two tournaments. AORBC II saw Myrtannia defeat Lamoni in the third place game, the only playoff meeting between the Suns and Hawks. Lamoni's Hugh Humber has picked up the monniker of Superman in this AORBC, but he has yet to face the giant that is Vito Munise in AORBC III. Their previous clashes saw Vito operate just as well as always, and he has been called 'Humber's Kryptonite' by the media in Halosen.
Can Myrtannia win a title? Or two? All will be revealed as the final games of AORBC III begin tonight.
Myrtannia 98, Dorian & Sonya 97 |

LADY MYSTICS CROWNED CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the news is now official - The Lady Mystics are the best team in AO Basketball!!!. We knew this all along, but it did take some time for Myrtannia and ASMV to figure it out and let us take our place as rightful Champions. Just Kidding.
The Lady Mystics knew when the schedule was released that it was going to be a three-way race for the women’s AORBC III title between D&S, Myrtannia, and ASMV. Myrtannia had claimed the AORBC I title and the Lady Dragons had run their way to an AOBCII title. And now the Lady Mystics have claimed theirs as well - and even better - They did so without dropping a single game. No other team, men’s or women’s can say that this time around. UNDEFEATED. I like the way that sounds.
A 90-80 win over the Socialist Union started things off quite nicely for the Lady Mystics. But Quakmybush was there to keep our heads from becoming too large as they pushed us hard in an 86-83 win. Then the real tests began. ASMV’s scoring onslaught wasn’t enough to beat us as we won 86-80 then They Lady Mystics and the Dryads faced each other on Day4 in a 104-102 overtime thriller.
That meant that D&S had the number one seed in the knock-outs and managed to avoid ASMV and Myrtannia in the semi-finals. That meant another date with Quakmybush. But it would not be close this time. A 108-87 victory saw D&S set the women’s AORBC record for points in a game.
Then came the rematch with Myrtannia for the Championship. And for three and a half quarters it seemed that another OT marathon might be the case. When Lashaunda Romash fouled out with 7 minutes left everyone thought that the Dryads might be able to take control of the game and win their second title. Enter Sparkle Siles. The reserve shooting guard was pumped and ready to play. 4 three-pointers in the final 5 minutes as well as a couple of easy lay-ups on the break were enough to win her the Championship MVP. D&S had managed to win the game 94-87 and capture only the nations second title In any competition outside of the Olympics (where we really kicked some ass) The other being crowned the only AO Curling Champions.
The men did not fare as well. Khazaron proved to be too much in a 103-93 victory. But we are proud of the Mystics as they made an improbable run in the playoffs and finished 4th. |
