This team has lots of seniors who have played a lot.

With Yoeli yes if they could hold it together without bad losses

I don’t know when. But with this group? Highly unlikely.

My expectations were low but that was a BAD loss any way you slice it

We were the underdog but yes, for a tournament resume, it’s going to be a bad loss. But

No expectations on Wins and Losses, but do expect smart play from smart people

I blame Pope for not calling TOs and drawing up set plays in the final minute

ldssdl

Would have been the smart move as soon as it was clear

Do you really think a team with Yoeli, TJ, Toolson, and Baxter was a fringe tour

puntersarepeople

11/20/19 10:34pm
