PIFL Semifinals (Playoffs)
Their first playoff game would be against the #4 ranked Colorado Wildcats. A couple of key events took place before the opening kickoff of this game. First, the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, home arena of the Bayou Beast, could not be used since it was previously booked for that weekend. A deal was worked out with the Riverside Centroplex to host the Beast's first playoff game. Secondly, the owner of the Colorado Wildcats was financially strapped by the end of the season and was about to forfeit their playoff appearance rather than pay travel costs to Baton Rouge. The Shivers, the Bayou Beast owners, offered to pay travel expenses for the Wildcats to compete against the Beast. This would also be their chance to avenge the only loss of the season by defeating them in the playoffs. The Bayou Beast did just that by winning 67-51.
