Nailbiter
The Pennsylvania Wildcats saw their playoff hopes vanish Monday night in a nailbiter with Newport Beach. Barry Sander’s 14-point night left the Wildcats one point short, as PA lost to the Nightmare 54-53. The loss drops PA two games behind Pittsburgh in Division Three. With 3 games left in the regular season, the loss all but eliminates the Wildcats from a playoff berth. The Wildcats are 2 games behind Pittsburgh, Los Angeles and Mercer, who along with New York, have all nearly wrapped up playoff berths. The only real question is whether Mercer or Los Angeles will finish atop Division Two. The remaining team will most likely secure the Wild Card berth.
Final scores:
Mercer 87
Wisconsin 57
New York 82
Keystone 41
Miami 71
Richmond 28
Los Angeles 68
Butler 37
Pittsburgh 59
Carolina 27
Newport Beach 54
Pennsylvania 53
Dallas 44
