The road to the 2005 Budweiser Cup BANMI Men\u2019s Island-wide Basketball League championship will be become clearer tonight as two teams will be cut from further competition.<\/p>\n
Two games will be played tonight, with the winners advancing and the losers saying goodbye in the single-elimination playoffs at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.<\/p>\n
Two-time defending champion Bud Light-Toyota Tundra battles sixth-seed Bacardi-Golden Oldies at 7pm, with the winner getting a one-way ticket to the championship series.<\/p>\n
The second game features No. 2 Bud ice-SaipanCell Hoopaholics against No. 5 Michelob-Master Construction Torque.<\/p>\n
Capping off the first round of the playoffs is No. 3 MARPAC-Nissan Titans and No. 4 O\u2019Douls-Ol\u2019Aces as they battle on Wednesday at 7pm.<\/p>\n
The winner of the two bouts will then battle for the final entry to the best-of-three championship series, which will begin next Monday.<\/p>\n
