(Brian Brown Circa 2010 - Swiss League Playoffs)4.24.2010 - Lugano Tigers 96 at Geneva Devils 84 (Swiss League Playoffs - Quarterfinals Game 3 - Lugano Advances)
Former Buckeye guard Brian Brown may be in the middle of a run that could result in his first career Pro Championship. Like his former OSU teammate Scoonie Penn, Brown currently finds himself with the opportunity to win a league title in the latter stage of his career after coming close in past years. The near ten year veteran (pro years) from Brooklyn, New York has played pro ball in the States, Germany, Poland, France & now Switzerland. He made the German League semi-finals with Telekom Baskets Bonn in 2003, & the D-League semi-finals with the Fayetteville Patriots in 2004. Brian has also played in two German League All-Star games in 2005 & 2006..earning MVP in the latter year.
A league title would be a nice additional accomplishment to his solid career. The combo guard got one step closer to the ultimate prize this weekend when his Lugano Tigers advanced to the LNBA (Switzerland) Semi-Finals. The regular season champion Tigers met up with the 8th seeded Geneva Devils in round one of the 2010 Swiss playoffs. Lugano cruised past Geneva in two easy home court victories to go up 2-0. They would later close out the Devils on the road in game 3 by a score of 96-84 (4.24.2010) Brian Brown contributed 11 points in game one, 8pts in game two, and 7 points in game 3. The Tigers now await the winner of the Starwings/BBC Nyon series for the semi-finals round.

4.24.2010 - CEZ Nymburk 105 vs BC Kolin 61 (Czech Republic Playoffs - Quarterfinals Game One)
Championship Time: The reigning Czech League Champions, CEZ Nymburk began defense of their crown on April 24th vs 8 seed BC Kolin. The Czech NBL has the familiar eight team, 3 round format for their playoff tournament. Nymburk destroyed BC Kolin in a 105-61 opening game blowout. (Ron Lewis 9 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, a couple nice dunks) We watched most of the game, & it frankly resembled many of their regular season routes. We think Nymburk's main challengers for the title will inevitably end up being their season long rivals BK Prostejov & Novy Jicin. Fortunately for CEZ, the bracket setup means they will only have to face one of those squads on the trail to their Championship. There will definitely be clips of Nymburk's playoff run.
