Week 4
L.I.U.'s Evening Intramurals Nothing But
Net Basketball League (NBNL) is back for its third season.
This semester the league stayed with the same amount of
teams from last year. There were a lot of players changing
teams with two of the eight teams new to the league, including
a woman's team. Each team would play a total of seven regular
season games round robin style, there are two divisions,
Dekalb and Flatbush, the top two teams from each division
will participate in the Nothing But Net playoffs which is
single elimination. Each team receives two time-outs per
half, besides that the action never stops. This is the first
time a woman's team is participating in the league. The
team consists of head coach, coaching staff, an ex-LIU ladybird's
players. In its third season, NBNL is getting popularity
and recognization not only among students but also staff
and faculty are coming forward to participate. The attendance
has vastly increased from the previous year. DJs and free
giveaways made this league more colorful to everyone.

season for them. Greg led all scores with 12 points for
