Well I got real close in the game as each of the first three quarters both teams scored an equal amount of points per quarter. Thomas Simmons sustained an injury early in third quarter which was a huge loss. Herman Kearns fouled out early in the 4th quarter with Romeo Lavigne fouling out late. The Simmons injury really didn't help as Kearns and Lavigne were not subbed out as they normally would've and they started to commit more fouls.
As per playing a LI offense instead of a Motion offense. Tough to tell what would've been better even after the game. Even a patient offense might've been alright. I don't really mind that I played a Motion against there M2M defense.
As per playing a 2-3 defense instead of a M2M defense. Watching the game a lot of the fouls that were commited were by my guards when there guards would drive to basket. A 2-3 defense could've been the right call.
Between a LI or a 2-3 defense I would've like to see how a 2-3 defense would've played out. Overall, with the Simmons injury, I don't think my starters would've had enough juice in the 4th quarter to have won the game at any rate.
It is only one loss and hopefully my only loss until the knockout stages.
