Consolation Bracket:
Day 2: Menehunes 73 vs. FOR Magic 43 (Win)
Menehunes came back with some vengeance on Day 2, by winning in a blowout to the FOR Magic. Menehunes shot the 3 point shot well and were running on full steam! It was more of a statement game then anything. It was great team basketball and everyone got involved. Pierre Recinto lead the way by making 5-3point shots for the game, Richard Tang made 2-3point shots, Ryan Lee made 2-3point shots, and even Phillip made 2-3point shots for the game. Sean Yu and Bryant played well inside making layups. Reuben Medina made some drives, while Marc Factora played very physical in the paint. But it was Hon Trieu who runs the show by getting everyone involved.
Day 3: Consolation Championship game: Menehunes 57 vs. Evergreen SGV 59 (Loss)
What an exciting game, both team were once again neck to neck all the way. Evergreen SGV made a shot with 2.8seconds left on the clock and Menehunes . Drew up a play that almost that lead to two foul shots. Menehunes missed the first one of two shots and had to intentionality miss the second one. All and all this tournament was a learning experience. It was very unfortunate the Menehunes were drawn up with the defending champions for the previous year and the Evergreen SGV, which seems to have been the next best team. Menehunes need to regroup and come back stronger next year for the Tigers 2012 tournament!

Tigers Tournament Result For Taiwan Center
Day 1: Taiwan Center 62 vs. Ironman 72 (Loss)
What happened to Taiwan Center? Its simple, NO Billy Hofman. Taiwan Center is known to put up 85+ points per a game. Billy Hofman is recovering from a very badly sprained ankle. Taiwan Center just had a hard time function without Billy out there. The game got out of hand in the first 10 minutes when the reffs ejected Matt Rosser from the game. Matt did nothing wrong, the opposing team player came and approached Matt and Matt got thrown out?? What was up with that? Jimmy Miyasaka coundnt get going and he also fouled out. J.R. also fouled out after having 4 fouls in the first half. Bottom line without Billy its hard to get guys involved in scoring position. Billy did have to make an appearance once Jimmy fouled out since Taiwan Center had no one left on there bench and Taiwan Center actually made a run to come back. Billy I sure hope that ankle is healing up! We desperately need you out there!
Consolation bracket:
Day 2: Taiwan Center 56 Vs. Eastbay Cardinals 52 (win)
It wasnt pretty but a win was a win! Enough said. Taiwan Center advances on to the consolation championship game. Billy get heal that ankle!
Day 3: Taiwan Center 57 vs. Sacramento Barons 56 (win) Consolation Champs!
Another one of those grind out wins. J.R. and Matt Rosser led the way for Taiwan Center. Jarrod Carroll had some highlight plays. Jimmy Miyasaka played center for Taiwan Center and just did his part to keep the Barons bigs from scoring. It will be a healing process for Jimmy's right knee. Taiwan Center will regroup once Billy and Jimmy heals and will look to regain the championship for the 2012 Tigers Tournament.
