Idaho Stampede News Release
BOISE, Idaho (March 6, 2006) - The Idaho Stampede became the sixth and final team to clinch a spot in the 2006 Continental Basketball Association Playoffs thanks to the Yakama Sun Kings holding the Dakota Wizards to just one quarter point against the Yakama Sun Kings in a 107-93 win on Sunday, March 5.
Fans can call to reserve tickets for the Stampede post-season at 388-4667.
"It's an exciting time for the Stampede franchise", said head coach Joe Wolf. "Some of these players haven't been in a professional playoff atmosphere and I haven't coached in one but from playing in the playoffs in the NBA I can say that it is an intense environment. It is a lot different than the regular season."
With the Dakota loss and only three regular season games remaining, Dakota can accumulate no more than 159.0 quarter points. The Wizards currently have 138.0 quarter points and are fourth in the Western Conference. Idaho currently sits in third place in the Western Conference with 162.5 quarter points (3.61 QP avg.), a 23-22 record, and three games remaining.
Idaho's final three games will come in the friendly confines of Qwest Arena in downtown Boise. The Stampede host Dakota Tuesday, March 7, and Friday, March 10, while conference-leading Sioux Falls comes to town on Saturday, March 11. All games are scheduled for 7:10 p.m. (MT).
