Bears in the Playoffs!

Our first season overseas is now coming to a victorious end! The Leuven Bears have made it to the playoffs! We secured the last spot in the playoffs when we beat our rival Pepinster on the road. Last year the Bears were a last place team so we are definitely the underdog for the first series of playoffs. The first round is a best of three game series, we played the first game last night on the road and lost. Tomorrow we play at home and I’m confident we’ll do better on our own court.

In all honesty making the playoffs and losing in the playoffs is a win-win situation. If we win then we have the potential of getting a championship! On the other hand, if we lose I’m that much closer to going home (A little selfish of me). There has been so much excitement surrounding the team and all of the players are pumped to be in the playoffs. The fans have rallied together for the team from making t-shirts to taking several fan buses to the away games. I can only imagine how exciting tomorrow’s home game will be!
