I sure hope these teams complete the bracket and actually SHOW UP to every game scheduled. So little ABA reporting this year... So little commenting... ZERO publicity from any of my regional teams.

No Jacksonville Sharks? No Richmond Elite?

There has to be a story there... :)

No Brooklyn SkyRockets? Doesn't the kid need playoff revenue to make his loan payments?
Old enough to remember when bashing the ABA was fun.

Jacksonville had a bye, Richmond, which played in a weak division, lost to DMV in Round Four. The Elite lost two games in the regular season, one to the Giants at home, and a second to Baltimore, also at home. DMV beat Baltimore twice: 123-113 & 119-95. No surprise in the outcome.

The Power Rankings generally reward the legacy teams (Jersey, Chicago, Richmond, West Texas, etc.) and rarely has anything to do with performance on the court. Richmond has never been a strong team.

Sadly, no, they were not invited. They had a 4-6 record this year (4-1 at home, 0-5 on the road.) Only three games cancelled, though, two of which were against the Buffalo/Chautagua defectors that jumped ship to the PBL,

A number of their players also played for teams in the APBL, presumably someone had to pay them.
