Sure that's a shocking upset, however, it's not like Secret Agents had their A team out there. With the line-up he put out there a number of Div III teams could potentially pull-off an upset if everything falls into place. One player got hurt relatively early and then another fouled out in the fourth quarter - recipe for an upset.

Congrats to Sony Rox ur Sox for a great win.

Haha, Paul Gaize is as hard as nails! Don't mess with the ginger ninja!

It's true that I didn't have my best players in the game today, but it's not like I sent out random guys. I planned things out so that the lineup I had out there tonight would be good enough to win against the other teams best lineup (even on the road and with an effort difference). At the very least, I thought that I was safe tonight.

I will admit that I was surprised that my opponent used several of their best players in the starting lineup today, and that they bothered using normal effort. Still, based on the box score, I should have been fine, even with Tamiazzo's injury. I just don't understand what went wrong, and it's beyond frustrating.

I know what you mean. This season has been outright ridiculous. I drew a newly promoted team (like myself) in the first game and had to CT him which left my enthusiasm in shambles and he guts right after, then a RNG loss, then a game where I didn't set my lineup after not being on BB in disgust, and if that wasn't enough I draw GM-RiPs team in the cup immediately after. I knew at that point the season was over, so I decide to tank....then what? 2 players that I try to sell for reasonable prices multiple times (middle of EV, what i bought them for) don't, i list them for $1 and lose ~half a mill on them in addition to paying their salary a few times for no reason losing me another 500k

K so awkward, i forgot to set my lineup.... I was going to use TIE and scrubs to manage GS..... Then completely forgot. Cannot believe I won.... Sorry?

These are the kindve of Cup upsets people like me dream about! This is why I play Buzzerbeater! This is the wow factor!

But seriously tough luck Mogul, dont quit!

Also Sony Rox ur Sox now faces the Philospher Kings, does the cinderalla story continue? I highly highly doubt it... . But congrats BuzzyG! Youve made all of us underdogs proud, do it again!

The only wow factor this particular cup game had for me is "wow, I don't think I can handle what just happened." I don't want to go on and on about things, and be a big complainer, but it's 10 hours later and I still feel absolutely horrible.

I keep going over the game in my mind, thinking about what went wrong, and how I could have prevented things if I had done this, or that. The thing is, though, I really don't think that I actually needed to have created more of a safety buffer for this particular game. I strongly believe that what I used should have produced a win tonight, given the actual conditions out on the court. I also know though that I didn't take the game seriously enough, and looked past it, because I was expecting Sony Rox Ur Sox to TIE and use a game shape oriented lineup (which is indeed what he was planning to do, as it turns out, as the lineup used was apparently an accident). If I had been just slightly more careful, I could have avoided what happened, and the loss is ultimately my fault. It's my fault.

Anyway, I need to step back from everything, and not just because of this one particular loss. I've had 3 games this season where I completely flipped out over what happened, and I don't want to be that guy. I'm sure I'll feel better in a few days, and I have no plans to quit before the end of this season, but after I play out the string....well, we'll see.

Good luck to everyone that's still in the cup, and have fun out there! :)

well, its like real sports
if the game engine decides to give the lucky bounces to the other team, some days you just have to accept it
I'm guessing HCA had a factor in this too huh?

Yeah, that's not going to make him feel better.

Biggest upset in Buzzer Beater history?

dunno, but sony doesn't know just how many sox he truly did rock.
