One Guyana Basketball League: Final playoff push set for Saturday
A glimpse of the action to be played
The One Guyana Basketball League will be rejuvenated as the final playoff push is set to commence on Saturday, November 25, 2023 at the National Gymnasium with three exhilarating games.
The Jaguar Conference will commence the action at 17:00h as the Meadowbrook Nets, sitting in fourth place, will look to ensure that the Lenora D-Up Rising Stars remain winless, while the West Side team look to avoid that.
The action will change as the Harpy Eagle Conference will see South Ruimveldt Mambas, also currently sitting in fourth, look to bounce back, after a defeat in their previous game, against the winless North Ruimveldt Black Caimans, who have a game in hand and currently occupy the last position.
The action will conclude as the Jaguar Conference leader, the Stabroek Eagles will look to continue their unbeaten streak as they come up against Cummings Lodge/UG Trojans who are sitting in fourth place with two points from four games and are looking for a win.
The tournament started with 14 teams in the Harpy Eagle and Jaguar Conferences, with a projected 56 to 63 games. Teams have played the teams within their individual conference twice, with the top four teams qualifying for the play-offs. The number one-ranked team will play the fourth-ranked team, and the number two team will play the third-ranked team. Winners of the playoff games will then advance to their Conference Finals, where they will play the best two-of-three series to determine who advance to the National Finals.
The tournament-winning team will receive $1 million along with trophies, while the runners-up will receive $500,000 plus trophies.
