A big loss this evening for the U21 team. Uruaguay's PG players scored 54 points tonight.

Their tactics were spot on against us, with their unpredicatable changes coming into play.

I am very disappointed with the loss margin, especially since they felt so confident to win that big with a TIE vs Normal.

I was surprised to see Abbott in foul trouble and fouled out, with them going Run and Gun on offense as Abbott has solid perimeter defending for a SF. This could have helped to have in the scoring area as he was the strongest offensive threat for us in this game.

Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions?

I honestly don't understand the need for the Normal. We're already qualified for the next round, results don't carry forward, shouldn't we be trying to get higher enthusiasm?

Just my 2 cents.

I think it was confirmed last time that results matter for seeding purposes.

the placings will determine seedings for next round. i was hoping to not get stuck with a couple of #1 group teams in the next round, which would pretty much mean to hope for 2nd chance qualifiers at best.

Last season the Round 2 groupings were made up of:

1st Pool:
1st in Pool A
4th in Pool A
2nd in Pool B
3rd in Pool B
1st in Pool C
4th in Pool C

2nd Pool:
2nd in Pool A
3rd in Pool A
1st in Pool B
4th in Pool B
2nd in Pool C
3rd in Pool C

The results do carry over... but in this case, only 1 result matters (which you won't know until the final standings).

this is how it was last time as Aston has written above.

i was hoping to somehow get the win over Uruguay to get a top 3 spot, this would have put the team through with the win against Uruguay carrying over and having 2 other teams in the 2nd round pool that should be beatable, thus pretty much guanteeing a 2nd chance qualifier and possibly semifinal with an upset win in the 2nd round. unfortunately it didn't work out.
