I was actually surprised at the first quarter especially since it was my third CT in the last 10 days.

Now we have to hope that some of those foreign teams have more money than you in the upcoming bidding war for A-Dubs hand-me-downs!

Where ever Bowens lands (along with all my players), it would be cool to see him get a B3 title. That's my only regret, not being able to accomplish that myself.

Not that anyone expected it to hold up, but Yorkville put up quite the fight against Ups last night. Yorkville went up 38-35 with just under 8 minutes the left in the half, before Upsydrome turned it on and finished the game on an 80-45 run. They consistently have games where they shoot in the upper 50% range...but even if you have a good defense, and make them struggle to score, they NEVER let up defensively. So all they need is for you to go a few possessions in a row without scoring and it's almost always at the very least a mini-run for Ups. There is just no margin for error against that well-built team.

It was a close game at first, but that's to be expected when you run a weak offense against a double correct GDP + POCT. I was lazy. I really didn't do much game prep other than managing minutes for the next round. I saw the double GDP coming. Before the game started, after quickly checking to see what I ran last season in the first round of the playoffs (II), I actually intended to switch to an outside offense w/ Britton and McEwan at guard (18JS/12JR respectively), but by then, it was too late. However, telegraphic tactic patterns aside, I typically only run three offenses: in Phyr's sitiation, it was very smart to choose the least dominate offense for the most optimal outcome. I applaud his managing acumen.

What I've noticed about the 2-3 zone is that in the first few quarters you come out strong, then it all falls apart after half time (depending on strength of opponent). In my one point B3 loss, I was actually up by 20 points before halftime while using the 2-3 zone. And many teams have ran the 2-3 zone defense against me with similar results -- the second half fall out. I'm not a fan.

A-Dub you should list your players for sale tomorrow with a 3-day auction :-) Save yourself some money for this weekend's Financial update :-)

No.

That was by far the best half my team has played in recent memory....Hope it can continue...but High Point is loaded.....The injury slightly helps but we are still way, way behind on payroll in this game.

It was...we couldn't stop you from scoring in the fourth quarter...weird game in many ways...usually my team has very balanced scoring, rarely do we have a very high scorer...but tonight we were led by our Center with 41 points, and after my top 3 scorers, everyone else sucked. Your scoring was very similar with good shooting from a few players, and everyone else struggled.

That was definitely an HCA win!

Good luck next season!

Have fun with UPS.

Let us dance once more, Cinderella. ;)

It's been a fun ride. Much respect. Next season I'll give you some freebies, sound good?
