With night one in the rearview mirror, it was full steam ahead from Friday’s slate, which was upped due to two teams being dumped from the fray. Another two teams could punch tickets to Sunday’s semifinal, getting a bye from Saturday’s matchups. In the end, it was Philly All American Game and 8Eye being sent home, bringing the initial eight teams to six.

GAME ONE:  TBB 90, Philly All American Game 65

Philly All American Game matched up against TBB in Friday’s game one. After two disappointing losses on Thursday, both squads looked for a bounce-back victory to turn their tournament around. 

Despite early foul trouble from the former All-American Villanova Wildcat Eric Dixon, TBB came out with a vengeance. Justin “Somebody’s Boss” Jaworski got things going early, shooting three for five from three with 11 points in the first half. Tyrese Martin showed off the athleticism early, creating separation, driving to the hoop, and recording a near double-double in the first half with nine points and eight rebounds, leading TBB to a comfortable 40-22 first-half lead. 

TBB picked up right where they left off, with Dixon leading the show early. The Wildcat alum went to work, dominating in the paint and finishing with a bounce-back 19 points. Despite an efficient 15 points from Philly All American Game’s James Stanback, TBB’s transition offense, fast-paced ball movement, and Martin’s 16-point, 12-rebound double-double proved to be too much for the opposition. 

Ultimately, TBB ended with a statement 90–65 win, moving on to Saturday’s game in the tournament. Unfortunately, with this loss, Philly All American Game has been officially eliminated from the tournament. 

GAME TWO: Rumph Center 72, Rex6 52

The two top-scoring winners from Thursday’s matchups face off in a classic chess match. Rumph Center versus Rex6, two heavyweights facing off in what fans viewed as a great run for their money. 

The two sides traded blows early, playing physical, gritty basketball with no room for error. The first 18 minutes were a gridlock until Rumph Center guard Quan “Showtime” Davis came to play. Davis took over late in the half, leading his team with 10 first-half points, widening the gap to 10 over Rex6. 

As the game opened up through the second half, so did the scoreline. Despite Rex6’s talented backcourt of Wali Hepburn, Desi Washington, and Hysier Miller, Rumph Center’s Nick Jourdain and Josh Sharkey took over. Jourdain, who finished with 12 points and five rebounds, dominated inside. Sharkey’s quick-step movement and elusiveness made it impossible to keep up, leading to the statement 72-52 win over Rex6, for the first spot in Sunday’s semifinals.

GAME THREE: Immortal Vision Studio 81, Develop Now 64

As the new Philadelphia 76ers superstar Jaylen Brown arrived at the Daskalakis Center, it’s safe to say the arena was packed for Develop Now versus Immortal Vision Studio. 

What started as a slow, defensive game quickly took a sharp turn. Immortal Vision Studio’s Wooga Poplar stole the first half, leading his team with an efficient 10 points and four rebounds. Zid Powell followed Poplar’s footsteps, generating two steals and acrobatic breakaway dunks to put his squad up four at the half. 

Develop Now did not back down to start the second half, with big man Tolu Smith creating havoc on both sides of the floor. Unfortunately for the men in yellow, this did not last long. Wooga Poplar and Zid Powell completely took over the second half. The pair looked like a dynamic duo, flashing the alleyoops, high-flying dunks and next-level finishes. 

With Poplar popping off for a dominant 33 points and five rebounds, Immortal Vision Studio won in fashion, posting a commanding 81–64 win over Develop Now, sending them straight to Sunday’s final four winners bracket. 

GAME FOUR: Coach Tone Runs 75, 8Eye 53

 Game four between Coach Tone Runs and 8Eye tipped off looking to give fans entertainment in the final game. Both squads fought for their lives in a late-night showdown, leaving room for only one to advance. 

Coach Tone Runs started hot, feeding Jordan “Mr. 52” Hall early and often, leading the team with 21 first-half points, dominating from coast to coast. 8Eye’s Tyrone Williams’ 13 points helped close the gap to 12 at the half. 

To no surprise, Hall and Coach Tone Runs could not be stopped. Whether it was in the paint or outside the perimeter, 8Eye just simply couldn’t slow down the men in purple. Despite Williams’ 18 points, the purple squad’s physical defense, fast transition offense, flashy lobs and high-flying dunks made Coach Tone Runs unstoppable down the stretch. 

With Jordan Hall’s 24 points and Jahlil White’s 10 rebounds, Coach Tone Runs put the nail in the coffin, cementing a dominant 75–53 victory, soaring to the next round and sending 8Eye home.
