We're down to the round of 64, and it's starting to get interesting. Well, maybe not for everyone, there are a few bot teams and a few teams that, um, aren't logging on lately.

But there's at least one all-Naismith showdown, me and NW Alberta Kaboom United, and it looks like a handful of other matchups of strong teams. I'll have some tough decisions to make this week.

it looks like i'm going to end my cup run early again, as my starting sg went down with 3 minutes to play while up by 30 something points. boy am i glad the coach still had him in the game!!

i am doubting that i'll give much of a game at this point, especially with how the league have become a nightmare this season for me! we'll see, i'll have to decide to take some chances on the cup, or look at making sure i stay out of the autorelegation zone at this point....

After beating three division II teams, I got a favourable draw this week. As long as he doesn't crunch I should be ok. I just feel sorry for the division II teams that I knocked out early - especially Ballattack who I put out in the 1st week.

I didn't see that CT coming! Looks like that gamble might doubly cost you with a tough TV game up next.

Wow - that has to be the first time I have seen a CT vs TIE not work. I also took a chance and TIEd today. It backfired for me, however. Not the first time I have taken a lead into the 4th quarter only to see it slip away. I really need to work on my outside d.

I really didn't expect Wendon to get that many minutes today, either. I hope that he won't take a form hit.

I ran Simons out for over 90 minutes once this season and he stayed in strong GS between weeks... so it's no guarantee that you'll have a problem.

i am very surprised that i did not win the game going CT vs TIE. i figured that i would take a shot at the cup, but clearly there are a couple of big weaknesses on my team if i still lost this game like that. huge swing over final 5-6 minutes of the 2nd quarter that pretty much decided the game. didn't help that i didn't shoot 1 free throw the entire 1st half!

good luck with the rest of the tournament. now it looks like i have some serious work to do to stay up in the top flight over the second half of the season and relegation games :(

Did anyone else not get their money for playing in the Cup this week? I didn't get anything after yesterday's match. Or do you only get it if you win?
