The BIG3 completed Week 8, and in turn, its 2021 regular season slate, on Saturday with four games to determine final playoff positioning. In the first game of the week, Tri-State pulled out a win over Triplets to secure the top overall seed in the postseason picture, while the loss dropped the Triplets down to the second seed. Tri-State had four different players score in double digits, with Larry Sanders and Earl Clark dropping 14 points apiece.
The Killer 3's took down Trilogy 51-48 in the second game, but, unfortunately, the win wasn't enough to propel the Killer 3's into the postseason. CJ Watson led the way for the Killers 3's with 15 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
Power ended their campaign with an impressive win over the Ball Hogs, but the win was just their fourth on the season, and in turn, they will also miss out on the playoffs. In the final game of the regular season, the 3 Headed Monsters took down Ghost Ballers to secure the final postseason spot. Reggie Evans paced the 3 Headed Monsters with 20 points and 14 rebounds in the win.
The playoff field is now set, and it's comprised of Tri-State, Triplets, 3 Headed Monsters and Trilogy. The playoffs will go down on Saturday, Aug. 28 in the Bahamas and the championship game will take place the following week on Sept. 4.
