congratulations and good luck to all NBBA teams remaining in the tourney. everybody seems to be performing at very high levels. should be an all-NBBA finals.

All NBBA? I hope so

As the #1 team in the country, who do you think will win ??

What is a Eugene Register Guard, anyway? What registers are you guarding (in Eugene, OR) ??

Crack away. Hit the Pipe. Ring your Bell.

Delta 9 is beatable. I think you have a decent chance ...

i don't know about that #1 stuff, not with Tucumcari playing so well and TnT laying low in the grass. (feeling pretty dumb, too: took me awhile to figure out why the Chargers trotted out their starters tonight, or why TnT played the unusual lineup against In Your Face)

but since you've asked, and since the Stags already have their bulletin board material, on a neutral court, i don't see how you lose.

good luck.

Has anyone noticed the inflated prices of players over the past couple seasons? I've sold players for more than what I purchased them for when they've only gotten older and should have depreciated in value. Acquiring new players at good value has been difficult as well.

the market is subtle, and in hindsight, rational. you made this comment during the height of the feeding frenzy as teams looked to buttress their squads in time for the playoffs. (i was looking at this time, as well.) i have noticed a near collapse in demand since Monday -- i figure owners have either spent themselves broke or figure decent game shape can not be achieved by playoff time -- this is the voice of experience speaking, as i wildly overpaid for my last player.

anyway: note to self -- last week of season good time to buy if rebuilding for next season (which i more or less am doing).

Thx to The South Stags for an honest appraisal. I do believe that I learned a thing or two.

Good luck. I don't say that because I think you need it, but rather because, with a break or two, you could win.

I agree. Your chances are slim.

The question then slides to The Cross Chargers & In Your Face. Will they agree to TIE or fight to win, like real basketball teams? (I once had a team ask me to mutual TIE in the USA Cup Finals !! - Good Grief !! )

Team-to-Team arrangements about effort in competitive games should be banished, even if it would be hard to enforce. That's bush-league BS ...

When the game is of little or no meaning, there is no reason why owners should not confer & come to agreements about how best to approach the game, with an eye towards benefiting both teams as much as possible. This parallels pro teams talking to each other about strategy & lineups prior to pre-season games. But, when it comes down to serious, consequential games, there is no place for owner-to-owner agreements (or discussion) about lineups &/or effort.

I don't mean to single out In Your Face or The Cross Chargers. Being around since Season 9, I've learned that most owners make all sorts of sordid arrangements. I think BB would be way better off with an official policy against effort/lineup arrangements in competitive games ...

Exactly how you define "competitive games" is beyond me

So Dmitri, I hear you are saying you would like to have a mutual TIE in the final next week?
