Round 1 of the Over30 playoffs wrapped with a nightcap between the 4 and 5 seed in Mazz Hysteria and Hot Goyle Dynasty. After a disappointing season, Chas’ team got some standing help via a week 9 Know Your Worth loss which catapulted them from the 7^th seed to the 5^th seed. Mazz Hysteria finished out the season with two straight wins and Mazz secured his umpteenth Over-30 MVP award. Heading into this matchup I was seeing plus matchups inside for Murphy and Bohnaker and was expecting big games from them.

Over the jump Mazz set the tone with a deep 3 but Chas responded with a tough and-1. Chas and Murphy traded buckets. Clarke got a bucket to go, but the tide would turn MH’s way with a Bohnaker 3 and a Murphy post. Mazz scored again, but two huge threes from Rich Carey kept Goyle in the game. Weinstein got his first bucket midway through the half and Danner hit a big time three for MH. Kodra got a three to fall but EJ got one to fall as well. Things were about even until Rich Cody, in his first game bac from injury, hit a series of threes to give Goyle a 7 point lead. MH was able to swing back with Mazz hitting a three and Danner closing out the half with another clutch 3. Goyle went into the half up 6.

Coming out of the half Mazz hit a three from halfcourt and MH went on an 11-2 run. Halfway through the 2^nd half, MH had recovered the deficit and was up 2. Kodra got aggressive and he and Mazz would trade buckets. With time winding down in the half, Weinstein went into attack mode and hit three straight jumpers. Gyole took back the lead with two minutes left. Murphy hit 1/2 at the free throw line to cut the lead to one and with :30 left, Cody missed the front end of a one and one. Bohnaker rims out a three ball but Mazz was to find him again off the miss to put MH up 1, 52-51. Coming down the other end, Weinstein put up a tough contested jumper that rimmer out. Clarke was there for a putback as time expired but he couldn’t convert and MH squeaks out the 1 point victory. MH will take on Redeem Team in the semis.
