Magic Numbers
Published on March 12, 2003 under NBA G League (G League) News Release
Thursday's Game
Fayetteville at Huntsville 7:30 p.m. CT Von Braun Center, Huntsville, Ala.
· Fayetteville has won all four games in the season series to date.
· The Patriots have both a playoff berth and the top seed already sewn up.
· Huntsville is three games back in the loss side for a playoff spot with five to play and is navigating rough playoff possibility waters.
Current Magic Numbers
· Both Roanoke and Mobile's magic number to clinch a spot in the playoffs is two (2).
· Any combination of Reveler wins combined with Asheville losses that equals two would nail down the spot for Mobile. The Revelers could clinch a position Friday night with a win if Asheville loses to Greenville as well.
· Roanoke can clinch a playoff spot with a win at Greenville tonight and North Charleston Friday, or with a win in either of those games combined with an Asheville loss on Friday.
· By virtue of having played two more games than Mobile or Roanoke, North Charleston's magic number for a playoff spot is one (1). If the Lowgators beat Roanoke on Friday or if Asheville loses to Greenville on Friday, the Lowgators are in by virtue of winning the season series against the Altitude.
