EASL Final Four matchups set

EASL Final Four

With the conclusion of the pool play games on Wednesday, the EASL semifinal pairings have been confirmed for next month.

Seoul SK Knights topped Group B after dismissing the Meralco Bolts, 72-62 on their home turf, setting up a duel with fellow Korean side and defending champions Anyang Jung Kwan Jang. Both teams finished their respective pools at 5-1. Their matchup will kick off the semifinal doubleheader at the Hoops Dome in Lapu-Lapu City at 5pm on March 8.

In the other matchup, the undefeated Chiba Jets of Group A is slated to face the New Taipei Kings, which will feature two of the most exciting players in the region in Yuki Togashi and Jeremy Lin.

The latter has been dominant in the P. LEAGUE+ for the Kings, almost averaging a triple-double with 26.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 8.9 assists. He recently incurred an injury during their matchup against Ryukyu Golden Kings, and was rested 

The winners tangle in the Championship Game couple of days later at 7pm, with the third place matchup set to tip at 4pm, also to be played at the Hoops Dome. They will become the first champion of the EASL in its intended true full-length home-and-away format.

Tickets for both playdates will be made available through TicketMAX.
