Tonight’s YDE vs DRS playoff game at the Green House is the 3rd straight year that these two teams will face off in the postseason.
The Thunder should have a lot of confidence coming into this game, considering the fact they defeated the Wildcats in both meetings , despite losing their regular season contests prior to those games.
This regular season was no different, as DRS defeated YDE 61-56 at the Green House in late November. Since then , YDE (7-7) has gone 6-4, which also included a win or go home game in their regular season finale vs HAFTR. In that game , YDE trailed by 15 in the 3rd quarter before staging a huge rally , and winning it 57-54.
As for DRS, (9-5) , they have gone 5-4 since then, including a 69-67 victory over Rambam to clinch the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference.
A Thunder win would mean that they would move on to the elite eight , were they will face the Frisch Cougars (11-4) in a playoff rematch from last year, where YDE lost a close one on the Cougars court .
As for DRS, they would face the TABC Storm (10-4) at the Weather Center , in what should be a thrilling game considering the intense rivalry between the two schools.
Overall, tonight should be a game that goes down the wire, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Thunder pull off yet another upset , and book themselves a spot on the Cougar Court in the Quarterfinals.
