Big PAL match up Tues JEFF vs TN

[GOTF]

Can TN muster up a game and upset the grizzlies? If so that would knock JEFF out of the title race and give sole possession to HMB. A Jeff win and a HMB win over ELCamino means the 2 are co-champs.

Does Terra Nova have any magic left in the tank ? ..........can't believe I'm saying this but Go Tigers!!

so if they're tied at the end of the season, how will they determine #1 and #2 seed for PAL playoffs?

 

[GOTF]

Not sure I’m totally correct but I believe it goes to strength of schedule and possibly who beat who by more in head to head games. Both would go to HMB as they have played a much stronger schedule and beat Jeff by 18 when Jeff only beat Hmb by 6.

Pretty sure it's a coin toss

That sucks ...... sooo many “competitive” ways to decide it. Worlds just got too many rainbows and daisies, AYSO soccer is taking over.

With all due respect, the actual "big" PAL game is Tuesday in Millbrae where the PAL South crown will be decided when Sequoia meets Mills. Both are 10-1 and Tuesday is the finale.

Mills energy will determine whether it's a close game or a blowout loss. Their energy has been poor in these mid week early games all season long. Hopefully they get hyped up for the biggest game of their season.

Final: Sequoia 50, Mills 39 ... Cherokees are PAL South champs. ... first league tittle since 1967 ... Ziggy Lauese with 29 pts, 12 reb

Jeff held on to win 47-45. There will be a coin flip to decide places for PAL Tournament.

Jeff 1 seed hmb 2 seed based on coin flip

 

[TurtleLoveCA]

First game will be a running clock in the 4th

Jefferson lost to Aragon earlier in the season but I think Jeff pulls out a close one this time around

Mills by double digits pulling away late

MA beats HMB in an upset

 

[TurtleLoveCA]

M-A looked good tonight. But frankly, the Burlingame defense which gave up 29 first quarter points, made it difficult to tell how good M-A really was.

I agree with your other picks strongly.

 

[GOTF]

Come On Turtle, the coin flip happened Earlier this week same day they voted for all league awards.....you know the results of those don’t you? you might want to check your resorces geez..... ha ha lol

 

[TurtleLoveCA]

Oh well.

In terms of predictions:

Sequoia wins by 40 over EC

Jeff vs Aragon will be a close one. Aragon didn't have Sam Manu in the first meeting, and Jeff didn't have several of its transfers either. If Jeff can keep the game in the 40's I think they win.

Mills by ten over TN

M-A vs HMB will be another close one. If HMB can limit its turnovers I think they win, but if M-A hits their threes then they'll win.

Correction
Manu did play the first time both teams met (Jeff vs Sequoia)

The Jeff transfers did not play for sure and I’m sure this game won’t be in the 40’s from the up and down style both teams like. Unless one of the coaches severely slows it down and plays very cautious.

Aragon*

 

[Jaw Knee]

I think Aragon can play both a fast paced and slow type of game. They have the athletes to get up and down the court and patience to move the ball around against a zone (as seen against Mills). This game and the M-A vs HMB are going to be highlights of the 1st round.
