It’s fourth time lucky for the Brisbane North Cougars in the Sapphire Series.

The only team without a win entering the second half of the weekend double header on Sunday, the Cougars got the jump early on Brisbane South Wildcats and held firm in a frantic final term to win 62-55.

The victory came just 24 hours after they slumped to a 0-3 record after losing heavily to TAE Ipswich Jets.

Wildcats, who had the bye on Saturday, trailled by 11 points at three-quarter time and that margin blew out to as many as 16 before their flying finish in the last two minutes.

It was one of the more remarkable Sapphire Series games in recent times.

And the upshot is the Sunshine Coast Thunder are now guaranteed to finish the weekend either first or second on the ladder.

They put on a shooting clinic in front of their home fans to beat Bond University Bull Sharks 78-72.

It’s the quite the turnaround from less than 24 hours earlier when they were comfortably beaten by Carina League Club Tigers.

But give the Bull Sharks plenty of credit. They are certainly entertaining to watch. And they love doing things by twos. Super shots reined in from all over the place.

Down by 15 goals at three-quarter time, they produced an incredible finishing burst to fall to just six goals short.

The combined 150 points in the match was more than 30 more than any other game has produced so far this season.

On a high from their win against the Tigers last weekend, the Wildcats are eager to put on a dazzling performance against their Brisbane rivals.

Head coach Megan Lynch said it would come down to mindset.

“I don’t like to say things out loud, but what I do know, is the girls believe in themselves now,” she said.

“I don’t think there’s a team we can’t take it to, it’s just about our four consistent quarters.

“If we put four quarters together anything is possible.”
