At the risk of tooting my own horn, I'll mention my 79 point win really as the biggest surprise on Tuesday. You and Staten Island won, no shocker, along with the Hoyas and Turks. I expected to win yes, but not by 79 points.

Worth tooting, plus playing TIE makes it more remarkable. But I guess that kind of shows the disparities of conferences.

Just looked at your cup draw, and ouch. At least I drew a winnable game, but a DII team really stinks.

Definitely unfortunate, but for my first season I'm happy and so are my fans with this cup run. Good luck for you, that match up should be a good indication of how you will do in div. 4.

Not really. The guy only played his backups to get training minutes, while I can play my starters, so it was no contest. Probably underestimated me a little. Honestly, how well one does in DIV really depends on which league you get into on promotion. There are some insane leagues which are pretty much DIII level competition there, or there are terrible ones where very few can still manage minutes.

I semi left buzzerbeater last time I made it to D.4, and i had set my team to train free throws. My team (without my setting any tactics) when to the playoffs first season and then the finals the next. I hadn't bought a single player since promotion. I really hope next time I promote isn't to a league like that.

Two only undefeated teams went head to head, The game was close up until 5 minutes in the 4th when the Hoyas sunk 2 threes. I was going all FGCU with like 50 dunks in that game and was even ahead until they get a flagarant foul. 4 points in that possession. Plus their center played like 15 minutes with 5 fouls and never got that 6th. Really, I just had the tactics right and my PF was a monster, but my leading scorer couldnt make a shot, 6-28 and the team was 0-12. Maybe I should have CT.........

The problem was, your fouls were lopsided. They shot 22-32, while you only got 11 chances at the charity stripe, making 6 points off those. Secondly, you ran a 1-3-1 defense, which sacrificed a lot of rebounding for you that would have helped, a 3-2 would have been much more effective. Thirdly, (and this is the weird part), you used Low Post, which is a slower tactic, but somehow took almost 20 more shots than them? As a rule, Look Inside is preferable to Low Post, just because of the increased pace and the ability to take more shots. But that was a really good attempt, and you came super close, so kudos to you.

Yeah, fouls weren't really something I could control. I think the 1-3-1 defense actually performed better defending the jump shot while giving up only 15 offensive rebounds, which isn't really that much. I knew that my bigs would do better than his seeing as how he also ran a 1-3-1 and focus primarily on the perimeter offence. And the reason I used Low Post is to slow the game down because his team was clearly more talented. I wasn't trying to get blown out at home. The fact is that his 2 top players are paid more than my entire team so I'm pretty happy with this.
