It's D-Day for Barracudas
Sunday, January 24, 2010
Facing the Asean Basketball League (ABL) leaders, the Philippine Patriots, at the Ynares Sports Arena in Manila at 4pm today, only a win will secure their berth in the play-offs.
A lot will lie on the shoulders of new Australian import Simon Conn, the 6-foot-9 Melbourne-native replacing centre Mike Pilgrim, who was sensationally released because of disciplinary issues earlier this week.
With the KL Dragons beating Satria Muda BritAma at the BritAma Arena in Jakarta yesterday, a loss for the Barracudas will spell the end of their campaign in the inaugural ABL season.
The KL Dragons beat Satria Muda 70-67, and had the Malaysians lost, the Barracudas would have automatically moved into the playoffs thanks to a better head-to-head record (2-1).
The Malaysians were previously tied at 20 points with the Barracudas, with identical 8-6 win-loss records.
The Patriots might be the table-toppers, but the Barracudas are not going to get any favours from the Filipinos who need the win to remain at the ABL summit.
