Barva vs Sanatura, Round 2



Some details on tonight's rematch against Ferreteria Brenes Barva:

Place: Gimnasio Nacional
Time: 8PM
Tickets:  2,000 colones for general seating and 4,000 colones for preferred seating
TV: Ch33, Xpert TV. Game will not be shown live, it will be broadcast this Saturday at 8:30 pm on tape delay.

We lost a double overtime thriller in the first encounter. This game is the rematch heading into the playoffs. I would love to say that the number one seed is on the line, but I'm pretty sure the Federation will turn down our appeal of the San Ramon loss (curiously, no official word on that yet), which means we're playing for the second seed.  Barva is coming off a thrashing of Escazu, 115-53 (I believe the score was tied 21 all at the end of the first quarter). We beat Cartago by 22 on the road, giving us a chance to rotate our bench. This game should be a good showcase for both teams and the national basketball scene.
