BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The Birmingham Bulls are going back to the SPHL playoffs!

The Bulls entered Friday night’s game vs. Knoxville needing just one point to clinch a spot in the playoffs, and ended up walking out of the Knoxville Civic Complex with two points after defeating the Ice Bears in overtime.

The Bulls will play their final regular season game Saturday, April 4 in Knoxville before the playoffs begin next week. If the Bulls defeat Knoxville Saturday, they will obtain the #6 seed in the playoffs. With a loss, the Bulls will be the #7 seed.

Birmingham’s first round opponent will be determined after the regular season finale.
