For the first time since season 21, the USA U21 team has made it to the top 4! They will play undefeated Italy on Monday (6/30) for a chance at the finals. Team USA only lost to Italy by 2 points when they first met this season, so anything is possible!

Now this is a bit unorthodox, but EBW has decided to let you, the masses, pick the tactic we will use for the game. Vote in the poll and help decide the method by which we shall defeat the Italians! Sure, they could see this post and plan accordingly...but team USA is confident on a victory nonetheless.

Do you worry that your poll isn't long enough to satisfy?

Where's the push / inside box option for example?

10 options was the max allowed as the jealous and controlling BB overlords wish to limit our freedom of choice in these matters. So I chose the 10 most viable options.

Wait why does it say Let's get pooped for RnG/FCP?.... Is that not a good mishmash of tactics? O.o

The proletariat has spoken! Princeton /m2m it is, so commence your quaking in your boots Italians, you shall be beaten in the style of a minor Ivy League school beating another minor Ivy League school. That makes you, like, Cornell.

I apologize to everyone, but myself and U21 staff on the offsite decided to go with a different option than you proposed in Inside Isolation and M2M, but we got the 102-90 win over the 1st seeded Italy, so hopefully you can forgive us. I look forward to seeing your opinions on the Finals game against Spain.

"Patient/m2m - the tactic of cowards"

I'm both, offended and sexually aroused by your statement. I've been using that tactic all season long. Me so horny.
