(1) INDIANAPOLIS 98, (4) MEMPHIS 80: (Fort Wayne, Ind.) - In their first meeting with each other in league history, Indianapolis and Memphis put together a competitive playoff game early on in the first semifinal game of the 2018 CBA Postseason Tournament. It appeared Indianapolis, who finished the regular season with an undefeated record, recieved a brief scare as Memphis jumped out to an early advantage, leading by as many as eight points in the first quarter. But those that have been following the back-to-back regular season champions were fully aware that Indianapolis has not had good opening periods all season, trailing in six out of the eight regular season games through the first frame of the game. It was much of the same script against Memphis last night, as despite the early deficit, Indianapolis regained the lead in the second quarter and blew upon the game in the second half to earn their second consecutive championship berth. Although Memphis' Jameel Best earned his ninth double-double of the season, Indianapolis' William McClure's unofficial nine blocks in the contest stifled Memphis offensively in the paint, forcing Memphis to unsuccessfully shoot from the outside, where they shot a league-worst 26.9% from the three-point line during the regular season. Indianapolis, who is seeking their first championship title Sunday afternoon, had five players in double-digits, led by Tyler Bibbs (6'6''-F-93, college: St.Francis, IN) (17 points) and Anthony White (6'3''-G-92, college: Mercer), Jr. (15 points), while Memphis (5-4) were led by Best with 27 points.
(3) FORT WAYNE 94, (2) MIDDLE TENNESSEE 86: (Fort Wayne, Ind.) - In the 2014 CBA Postseason Tournament, the two teams met in Nashville and competed in a thrilling double-overtime semifinal game with Middle Tennessee prevailing, and ultimately winning their first league title against St. Louis in the finals. Two years later in the 2016 CBA Postseason Tournament, Fort Wayne, on their home court, knocked off Middle Tennessee by 27 points in the championship game, to not only have the largest margin of victory in a league playoff contest, but also earning them their first championship title and becoming the first team to finish the season with an undefeated record. The third playoff contest between the two teams last night appeared headed towards a repeat of the 2016 title game, as a back-and-forth first half turned into a third-quarter rout, as Fort Wayne led by as many as 17 points. But Middle Tennessee put together a sensational rally in the final quarter, to not only erase the double-digit deficit and stun the crowd, but taking their first lead at 86-85 with five minutes to play. But with a shorthanded roster, the second-seeded team from Nashville ran out of gas, as Fort Wayne used a 9-0 run in the final five minutes of the matchup, to pull away and clinch a spot in the CBA championship game for a league-record fourth consecutive year. Fort Wayne, who will look to earn their third straight league title Sunday afternoon, had five players in double-digits, including Terrance Beasley with 21 points and Antonio Cannon (6'0''-PG-92, college: Indiana Tech) with 19 points. Middle Tennessee, which fell to 1-4 against Fort Wayne on the road, were led by Myles Thrash (6'0''-PG-77, college: Stillman) (25 points), Joshua Sain (22 points) and Torye Pelham (6'6''-F-87, college: S.Mississippi) (20 points).

Bowling Green's Monte Burney ties record for most points scored in CBA game since FIBA transition - 2 months ago

In 2015, in an effort to comply and be compatible with international basketball guidelines, the Central Basketball Association transitioned to FIBA rules and regulations, which allowed its players and coaches to become better prepared for the global stage. One of the caveats of such a transition was that FIBA-regulated games consist of four 10-minute quarters, as opposed to the NBA-regulated four 12-minute quarters.

In 2015, in an effort to comply and be compatible with international basketball guidelines, the Central Basketball Association transitioned to FIBA rules and regulations, which allowed its players and coaches to become better prepared for the global stage. One of the caveats of such a transition was that FIBA-regulated games consist of four 10-minute quarters, as opposed to the NBA-regulated four 12-minute quarters. With a reduction of eight minutes per game, this also meant that the team and individual statistics would be lower than a typical game in the United States, but more reflective of the international environment. Since the league's transition four seasons ago, only one player had ever scored more than 40 points: Indianapolis' Anthony White (6'3''-G-92, college: Mercer), Jr., who scored 41 points against Bowling Green in the 2016 postseason tournament. This past Sunday afternoon, Bowling Green's Monte Burney (6'1''-G, college: Martin Methodist) tied that scoring record with 41 points of his own in an overtime victory against Baltimore. Burney, a 6-foot-2 guard from Clarksville, Tennessee, shot 14-for-24 from the field, including 7-for-13 from beyond the arc, and a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line. The Martin Methodist College graduate did more than account for over 36% of his team's points last weekend; he also grabbed 12 rebounds, had 5 assists, while being a force on the defensive side with 5 steals and 1 blocked shot. With his third double-double of the season, coupled with currently being the league leader in steals, second in the league in points scored, and fourth in the league in both assists and rebounds, it does not come as a surprise to many regarding Burney's clutch performance last Sunday and single-handedly keeping his team alive in the playoff hunt - earning him top honors for Week 4 of the 2018 CBA season.
