However Nemanja Protic crowned the frame with a trey to drag FMP within two points 54:56 with ten minutes to go. Branko Lazic drew things level at 58 just over a minute into the fourth term but Chris Oliver and Taylor Rochestie exploded with 8 points in a row to restore a comfortable cushion for Goettingen.

Meet The Team: Michael Meeks

The thing about a "team" is being able to pick each other up when you are slacking. I officially closed my "Meet The Team" Series back in October but since then we've lost old players and gained new ones...and you all may not have been properly introduced. Fortunately my teammate Chester (a fellow blogger as well) has went ahead and introduced you all to Michael Meeks
