Despite top scorer Tagovailoa, EatDrinkAndBeMariota fall to Cool Guy Zone, 149.83-139.87

Tua Tagovailoa racked up 26.6 points for EatDrinkAndBeMariota, the best total in the matchup and eighth-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to defeat Cool Guy Zone, who earned a 149.83-139.87 win. Cool Guy Zone grabbed an early 13.13-point lead on Thursday. EatDrinkAndBeMariota bounced back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Tua Tagovailoa (26.6 points) and Lamar Jackson (26.37). Not to be deterred, Cool Guy Zone pulled it together later that night, as Jonathan Taylor (20 points) and Michael Pittman Jr. (19.5) put them back on top once and for all. Cool Guy Zone (2-5) will look to keep it rolling against Scranton Flonkertons, while EatDrinkAndBeMariota (2-5) try to get back on track against I'm a bear. Grrr.
