Fantastic basketball action expected at Linden’s Retrieve Hard Court tonight
The “One Guyana” Basketball League being supervised by the Guyana Basketball Federation (GBF) continues today (Saturday) at the Retrieve Hard Court in Wismar, Linden; and excitement is anticipated from the first game, which is scheduled to commence at 19:00hrs.
In this evening’s play, Black Caimans would be taking on the Victory Valley Royals, who expectedly would be looking to secure their second win of the league. However, with a slim chance of advancing from the group stage, the Caimans would be aiming to secure their first win after five games.
Dominic Vincente would be looking to lead his team Ravens to another win
Coming off a win in their previous match, North Ruimveldt Ravens, as defending champions, would be intent on continuing their campaign as they battle Retrieve Raiders; who also are coming off a previous victory, and would be having home-court advantage.
This “One Guyana” league commenced with 27 teams in the Harpy Eagle and Jaguar Conferences. Between 56 and 63 games were projected to be played in the league, with teams being expected to play teams from their conference twice, and the top four teams qualifying for the playoffs.
The number one-ranked team is expected to play the fourth-ranked team, and the number two team is expected to play the third-ranked team. Winners of the playoff games would then advance to their conference finals, where the winners of the best two of three games would advance to the National Finals.
The team winning the league would receive $1 million along with trophies, while the runners-up would receive $500,000 plus trophies.
