#5 How Much Jam Ya Got Man? 26 vs. #7 Off in the Woods 22
A game featuring two top 10 programs, but Off in the Woods could not stay perfect in this one. Yes, JAM beat Off in the Woods the other night without captain Neal Sutton who had a business function. A low scoring affair with the game all square at half with the score 12-12. The Experience of JAM helped them pull a win out of their ass. This game is a prime example of free throws do matter. Peter McNitt stroking from the charity stripe late in the game to give JAM another W
Standout:
Tyler Wislow gets this games game ball knocking down his mid range jumpers in the second half and also a huge factor on defense being one of the bigger guards in the league he is tough to get passed.

#18 Big D Legends 39 vs. #11 Big G All Day 51
his matchup between the Bigs was just as tense as expected. With Big D Legends playing with their star Peter McGuire, Big G All Day knew they would have to stop him and David Berlinghof's box & 1 defense did the trick. Once Berlinghof and Michael Phillips started dropping shots early, both dropping career highs led by Phillip's 21, Big G could resort to the triple team on Peter McGuire to keep him from winning the game himself. This game was later called with a few minutes remaining due to arguing by Big D Legends psycho Gallagher, but it was a hard fought game by both sides.
Standout:
Mike Phillips gets the Standout player of the game putting up 21 points in the first half, then going to play a hockey game which he was severely late for. This game really showed how dedicated Mike is to this team.

#3 Blazers Era 20 vs. #2 A Night in the Bear Cage 23
Certainly the game of the week, and a contreversial one as well. Blazers Era, the initially the #2 ranked team was surpassed by a more athletic Night in the Bear cage squad. They knew that to get their spot back, they had to win this game. #1 in out MVP rankings, Charlie Tilson played a good role in this win, putting up 12 against a solid defensive team in Blazers Era. The game was close the whole time, and came down to layups and free throws late in the game. Considerate deliberation will come on the part of NTJNL to decide Blazer's new home on the week four rankings
Standout:
Charlie Tilson, got to the hoop consistently to lead his team to a sweet victory over the Blazers. This is exactly the type of play that will keep him his top spot in the MVP rankings.

#4 The KEG 25 vs. #12 Buff-ucers 32
This was one of the best match-ups the NTJNL has seen this year. The match-up consists of two teams that dont rank very close to eachother in this game. The KEG with superstar talent you would think would take over the game. The Buff-ucers with some ugly losses and a very balanced attack came up with the biggest upset so far this year. The blanace of Buff-ucers was too much for Schoder and the KEG to handle. A team that is fighting for a playoff spot needs wins like this to boost them into the post-season.
Standout:
Mick Parks and Patrick Callahan accounted for majority of the buff-ucers points and played stout D. They both kept Schoder in check throughout the game. They both get this games players of the game award.

#16 Semaca 25 vs. #19 John Scheyer's Cousin's Friends 28 OT
This weeks only OT game was a thriller. A close game throughout between two very even teams. Both teams looking to record their first win of the season. JSCF led by gaurd Mitchell Hammes who couldnt make it, so they had to play amazing without him.
Standout:
No one
No one on either teams is any good other then Mitchell Hammes who is JSCF best player and has one of the best shots in the league

#22 Team Fujji 37 vs. #10 The Magical Forest of Gluckman 53
Teams Fujji, although the score really did not reflect it, showed a lot of improvement this week. For one, they actually attempted to win a game against a very solid MF of G team. Gluckman got out to an early lead and essentially held it throughout the game. In the second half after switching from zone to man D, Fujii managed to lower the deficit to 10, but to no avail. Very balanced scoring from MF of G as they have potential for good perimeter shooting with Reifenberg and Schroeder but also the presence of a physical player such as Chris Gluckman down low.
Standout:
Peter Schroeder with 18, got hot in the first half and fizzled a little in the second. Balanced scoring from the whole team but edged out team mates by 4 or 6 points this game. NTJNL is always looking for fresh faces to compete for a birth into the MVP rankings.

#14 TWAT 26 vs. #20 Where Brooklyn At? 22
TWAT found itself in a little crisis before the game. They were down to 3 men as Tim Kinsella is out for the season after surgery and Tim Sullivan was not present. They made up for it tenfold by picking up Big Trouble in Little China players Eddie Fay and Charlie Engleman. Where Brooklyn At? was up 3 at half with an emberassing 11-14. TWAT got some good bounces in the second half and Where Brooklyn At? resorted to fouling during 1 and 1 to stop the clock. A few careless fouls early on in the game became key turnovers in a narrow four point win for a now 3-1 TWAT squad
Standout:
John Cook with another 10+ point game, this time with 14. It could have easily been at least six or seven more if not for some iffy free throw shooting.
#23 Nuclear Octopi 0 vs. #8 Big Trouble in Little China 1
Nuclear Octopi did not show up to this game. Even if they did show up it wouldn't have been much different. Considering that Nuclear octopi is yet to win a game in three years and Big Trouble in Little China is a team that has a golden shoe on their mind.

#21What Would Scooby do 18 vs. #15 Milk Was a Bad Choice 32
A Must win game for Milk if they wish to make the top playoff bracket. They can afford only one more lose if they want a chance at the golden shoe. After a tight first half, Milk started a full-court press which a team like What Would Scooby do can not handle. Milk was very balance with their leading scorer with only 9 points. This will be a huge factor in coming weeks if they can stay that balanced
Standout:
Conor O'Donovan gets the game ball not only scoring the most points on Milk but also recording a game high number of rebounds.
#17 Flanagan 29 vs. #7 No Sympathy 30
Looking at the numbers, no one would have foreseen this close of a game. Unfortunately for No Sympathy, former NT basketball player Nathan Alter made an unannounced appearance and dropping 10. Not a terribly impressive game from No Sympathy, as they claimed that the shots just weren't falling. Good rebounding however on the part of team Flanagan, which helped them keep close. Despite good rebounding from team Flanagan and poor shooting from No Sympathy, the #7 squad still managed to get out with the W.
Standout:
The lanky one once again, Stu Haley scoring nearly half his teams points with 14 (assisted with 12 from Sam Thomas). Stu could become the most unlikely of candidates for the MVP rankings if he continues to score in the double digits.
