Can Cobras avoid the sting of Killer Bees?

The Cobras enter Week 2 as one of the league’s biggest risers after climbing four spots in the Power Rankings following an impressive opening-night victory.

Bradlee Damhoff put the league on notice in Week 1, dominating with 32 points and 18 rebounds in one of the best individual performances of the season so far. Chris Toms-Smith was equally important, adding 13 points and 15 rebounds as the Cobras controlled the paint on both ends.

Meanwhile, the Killer Bees are looking to bounce back after a disappointing opener that saw them drop five spots in the rankings. The Bees managed just 25 total points as a team, with Larry Bast leading the way with 11 points and 7 rebounds. Rob Naples was held to just 10 points, a rare off night for one of the league’s most dangerous offensive players.

The question entering this matchup: Was Week 1 an outlier for the Killer Bees, or have the Cobras emerged as a legitimate contender? The Bees are looking rediscover their offensive firepower, while the Cobras seek to establish some early season dominance.
