I started about a month ago, and have gone 8-1 in that time. I don't spend All day long on buzzer beater. I don't study my opponents, instead i focus on my own team, and what I could do to improve them, instead of worrying what my opponent does. But I guess eveyone has a different strategy, which is what makes this game so great. Good luck in the finals,( although I'm rooting for Team 28812 as they represent our conference.) ;)
