Final battle for play-off spots
The regular season of the Chilean National League will come to an end this weekend with three spots still open for the play-offs from the Central Conference.
Only Universidad de Concepción (UDEC) in the Central Conference have secured a place in the play-offs from the Central Conference. The other three places will go to the wire and will be fought by Municipal Español de Talca, Basket UC and Colegio Los Leones, and also, Municipal Puente Alto, who have already finished their league season.
UDEC through to quarter-final
UDEC are top of the league with 33 points after 18 matches, winning 15 and losing three.
Puente Alto are in second, registering 30 points in 20 matches. Quilicura Basquet sit bottom of the table with 23 points from 20 matches.
In case two teams finish the tournament with same amount of points, head-to-head results will define who goes through.
