Here are the results from the Week 7 of Remix NCBL 2008 action. All games were played on 27 July 2008 in Pusat Rekreasi JKKK Balakong.

UBSA, Stallions & Flames makes it to the Quarter Finals

The weekend lived up to its billing as an exciting week where 6 teams fought for a chance to make it to the Quarter Finals. At the end of the day, three teams continue their season with a Quarter Final date next week, 3 August 2008, while the other 3 teams bid a disappointing farewell to the Remix NCBL 2008 season.

In Group A, UBSA man-handled Valliers with a commanding 73-35 win. Fellow competitor for the Quarter Final spot Prinze, needing a win themselves and needing UBSA to lose, lost to second seeded Cocoro 37-42. With that result, UBSA grabs the fourth and the last spot for Group A and joins Pegasus, Cocoro and Scorekeys to the Quarter Finals.

Other results from Group A – ATM may be out of the Quarter Final race, but they didn’t make it an easy day for Scorekeys who has a foot in the Quarter Finals already. ATM fought well before losing out 42-43. Pegasus meanwhile stamped their authority over the young Titans by winning 63-33.

The heat was on for Group B. 4 teams – Stallions, Leykens, Flames, and Cons were chasing the 3rd and 4th spot to make it to the Quarter Finals. On the first game of the day, Stallions made sure they got through by posting a comfortable 64-55 win over minnows KPTM.

The second game heated the competition. Two Quarter Final hopefuls Leykens and Cons squared off in a very uptempo game. However, Cons were too much for the Leykens when they lost 46-67. With the loss, Leykens were out of the contention, and Cons were hoping that Swoosh wins by a walkover over Flames.

Unfortunately, Flames did show up, and although they lost 47-59 to the mighty Swoosh, Flames still go through on their Head-to-Head advantage over Cons. Flames were without star center Alex Edward, but still proved that they are no pushovers. However, with the introduction of Guganeswaran aka Abi in the Swoosh lineup in the second quarter, the game quickly swung in Swoosh’s favour with tons fastbreaks.

Phantoms distributed the playing time between the players, and posted a 44-32 win over Snipers.
