Well, a frustrating game to say the least.

Either I overestimated our team's ability or underestimated theirs.

I thought they might crunch, and they did, so my choice to normal and not tie was correct.

Having not enough players at proficient GS hurt, as well as their choice to run 2-3 which seemed to be effective enough. I had an instinct to go base offense but if they man-to-man, we don't have enough guns outside to hurt them.

Fouls in the 1st quarter were brutal (especially Heighway with 4 in the 1st quarter)

Offensive rebounds were brutal (especially 5 offensive rebounds in a row off 5 misses to start the 3rd and converting on the 6th shot)

Still, looking at the player ratings and PP100 I still see us pulling out the win. Just a game that did not go our way but on another day would.

Thoughts?

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I agree with this. Your ratings were way more balanced and superior, in my opinion, to Uruguays. I think can chalk this up to the fact they Crunched and I think them going 2-3 zone didn't help you much either, and may have actually been the defensive tactic that your should have ran as well.

Did not go 2-3 due to them playing R&G or PTB in 3 of their last 4 matches, including against Brazil. No guarantee they were playing LI.
Also no guarantee 2-3 would be better than man against them, even if it was sort-of-OK against the US.

Fouls and FTs, a tiny bit of shooting misfortune, weird rebounding. Their 2-3 worked really well because our guards aren't developed. I'd imagine we got plenty of clean looks (26 AST on 32 FG) but couldn't hit shots.

Not much you could do. I haven't followed the team and don't know player's skills, but I remember hating Sutherland. Jury still not out on him? In our 2 competitive games where we've played LI, he's scored 4 points in 57 minutes at C. That's not good if your other players struggle to score.

If they make that proposed change for SB, he could be a beast. Didn't work out this year for U21 purposes, and all that defensive training could have been balanced with offense. Of course then he'd be just another cookie cutter big man.

Yeah, I didn't really look into it what offense they ran the last couple games, so yeah, don't blame you for NOT going 2-3 zone. It because they crunched.

Yeah, scary. From an unknown quantity to a superhero.

Of course then he'd be just another cookie cutter big man.

The horror. Nah, I dunno. Who knows what his impact is now. He's worth a try. Would've been better if our entire team was better and our competition was better.

All 20 year olds have been scouted for next season's team.
Working on the 19 year olds.

Think anyone will notice if somehow I can keep Heighway's age at 21 again for next season? ;)

Working on the 18 year olds.

Then will be depth charts for each position to see how your trainee stacks up.

All 18,19, and 20 year olds have been scouted. If your player was on the transfer list today, I did not need to scout.
If you believe you have a quality player that has not been scouted tonight, please bbmail me the player's attributes.

By tomorrow, next season's extended roster will be posted on the offsite forum, with skills but without names.

Thank you.
