Not much in the way of drama over on Court 1 in the 6:15 PM slot that saw the Swish team taking on the Curry Crew team. The Curry Crew team bolted out to an 18-6 lead by the midway point of the opening period and were still up double digits at 28-17 by the end of the 1st period. The Curry Crew team quickly re-established the fourteen-point cushion at 34-20 by the 8:25 mark of the second period and even the the Swish team bit off some of that deficit near the midway point of the second period down 37-25, the Curry Crew team went on a 9-2 run down the stretch that had them up 46-27 by the halftime break. The Curry Crew team was still up handily at 48-30 at the 7:25 mark of the third period and by the end of the third period, that lead would balloon to 72-47. The Curry Crew team was cruising up 77-51 by the 7:20 mark of the fourth period as they rolled to an easy win.........A much closer affair meanwhile was taking place over on Court 2 between the Arden Hills team and the Anoka-Ramsey team. This contest would be tied at two a piece by the 8:45 mark of the opening period but the Arden Hills team would manage to grab the upper hand with a 6-2 advantage at the 6:30 mark and they would maintain this four-point edge up 10-6 with 2:45 left although the Anoka-Ramsey team would get back to within a single possession down 12-9 by the end of the first period. The Anoka-Ramsey team would then cut the deficit to one at 12-11 by the 7:50 mark of the second period and they would eventually grab a 15-13 advantage by the midway point. The Anoka-Ramsey team would be up 21-18 with 2:20 left and by the halftime break, the Anoka-Ramsey team would enjoy a 29-25 advantage. The Anoka-Ramsey team would still hold this same lead at the 8:25 mark of the third period but the Arden Hills team would battle back and get this one leveled at 29 with 4:00 left. The Anoka-Ramsey team would find a second wind and re-establish the four-point lead at 36-32 by the end of the third period. The Anoka-Ramsey team would stretch its lead to six at 41-35 at the 8:45 mark of the fourth period but curiously lost its grip on this game down the stretch as the Arden Hills team would come back to grab a 44-43 lead with 4:30 left in regulation and they would hold on for a five-point win.........Over on Court 3 the GAC Black team was taking on the Auggies team and even though this game would be knotted at two a piece at the 6:05 mark of the opening period, the GAC Black team would slowly start pulling away as they held a 10-6 lead by the end of the first period. A quick 7-0 run by the GAC Black team had them up 17-6 at the 7:10 mark of the second period and they would follow that up with an 8-0 push that stretched the lead to 25-6 with 1:45 left. The Auggies team could only muster one score as they were in a big hole down 26-8 by the halftime break. Things didn't get any better for the Auggies team as the GAC Black team upped its lead to 29-8 by the 8:00 mark of the third period and they would maintain this twenty-one point cushion up 35-14 with 3:30 left and two more scores by the GAC Black team gave them a 39-14 lead by the end of the third period. The GAC Black team had things in cruise control from then on as they enjoyed a 45-16 lead at the 7:50 mark of the fourth period as they romped to an easy win.
A busy time in the 7:10 PM slot with four games going on. On Court 1, two old rivals were going at it as the Hammies team was taking on the St. Olaf team. Things would be tight throughout the opening period as the St. Olaf team was clinging to an 8-7 advantage with 2:35 left in the opening period but the Hammies team would come back and hold a 12-10 advantage by the end of the first period. This one still appeared to be a tight one with the contest leveled at 12-all at the 9:25 mark of the second period but then the St. Olaf team went on a game-changing 20-2 blitz that had them 32-14 by the midway point of the second period and by the halftime break, the St. Olaf team was running away with things with a 49-22 lead. The St. Olaf team was still enjoying a sizable 54-31 lead at the 6:25 mark of the second period and by the end of the third period there was little doubt as to how this one was going to go with the St. Olaf team up 61-39. The St. Olaf team would enjoy a 70-47 advantage at the 6:05 mark of the fourth period as they rolled to an easy win..........Two other MIAC teams that know each other very well faced off over on Court 2 as the St. Kate's team took on the CSB team. The CSB team would build an 8-2 lead with 2:30 left in the opening period and they would hold an 11-6 advantage by the end of the first period. The CSB team would get its lead to 13-6 by the 9:10 mark of the opening period but the St. Kate's team would manage to close the gap to a single possession down 15-12 midway through the second period. The CSB team would get its lead to five at 20-15 with 2:30 left in the second period but by the halftime break, the St. Kate's team once again had closed to within a single possession down 20-17. Things would still be tight with the CSB team holding a 23-17 lead at the 7:05 mark of the third period but then the CSB team was finally able to start getting some separation as they increased their lead to nine at 28-19 near the midway point of the third period. The CSB team's lead would increase to 37-23 with 1:25 left and they would lead 40-25 by the end of the third period. The St. Kate's team tried to make inroads as they would cut the deficit down to eleven at 40-29 near the midway point of the fourth period but could never get closer as the CSB team coasted to an easy win..........An interesting game was taking place over on Court three between one of the "mixed" teams as the Baddies Elite team was taking on the GAC Gold team. The Baddies Elite team would get a 17-9 lead with 3:10 left in the opening period but the GAC Gold team would make a big push as they were able to cut the deficit to four down 19-15 by the end of the first period. The GAC Gold team would eventually get this game deadlocked at 21 by the 7:30 mark of the second period although the Baddies Elite team would regain the advantage up 35-30 with 2:00 left and up 37-32 by the halftime break. The GAC Gold team would tighten things up again once the third period got underway as the Baddies Elite team's lead was cut to four at 39-35 at the 8:00 mark and the GAC Gold team had crawled back to within a single possession down 43-40 with 4:05 left. However, the Baddies Elite team would embark on another push and hold a 49-40 lead with 1:05 left and would be up 49-43 by the end of the third period. The Baddies Elite team looked to be in control up 55-49 at the 7:50 mark of the fourth period but the GAC Gold team would again manage to get things back to a single possession down 55-53 near the midway point. Things were still hanging in the balance with the Baddies Elite team clinging to a 57-54 lead but they were able to escape this one with a close win.........Another interesting game over on Court 4 between two Alumni/mixed teams as the Wash-Ups team was taking on the She Got Game team. The Wash-Ups team would build a 14-6 lead with 2:25 left in the opening period and lay-up by former UST standout Madi Radtke enabled the Wash-ups team to enjoy a 16-9 lead by the end of the first period. The Wash-Ups team would hold a 20-12 lead midway through the second period and they would maintain this safety net with a 26-15 lead by the halftime break. The Wash-Ups team was still having a tough time shaking its opponent as they held a 26-18 lead at the 7:00 mark of the third period but then the Wash-Ups team was finally able to establish some separation as they pushed their lead to 37-23 by the end of the third period. The Wash-Ups team had control of things with a 40-27 lead at the 6:40 mark of the fourth period and held on for a relatively easy win.
