8:30pm: The Pandas (2-4) vs ZewCrew (4-2) 

Both teams in this matchup are coming off of week six defeats; The Pandas to Blood, Sweat and Beers, and ZewCrew to Run TMC. The Pandas fought hard, but once again, could not field their full squad.

9:30pm: The Brotherhood (6-0) vs The Land (2-4)

The Brotherhood have been unstoppable this season. They lead the league in points, assists and steals, and are the only team that has still not suffered a single loss. Meanwhile, The Land are surviving on the production from Brett Cody and Alec Ward, who fell just short in their week six loss to Wake and Blake. The Land will be looking to make a big splash this week, hoping to hand The Brotherhood their first loss, but they will need to play some of the best basketball this league has seen to pull it off.
