The NT doesn't want to be completely forgotten in the shadow of the U21 elections, so the guys all got together to lay out some goals for the season.

Season 22 NT Goals
1. Make the elimination round of the consolation tournament.
2. Continue to improve our ranking into the mid-30's or higher.
3. Keep training towards a hopefully very bright future.

*Obviously the 1st two goals are somewhat schedule dependent, but they seem reasonable before we see the schedule.

So do we have any other things that the community would like to see us accomplish in Season 22?

Oho... I have some rough news for you. I was trying to decide when to break this. But here goes, anyways I don't think I'll be running next term because next summer I have an approximately month long period where I'll be without access to a computer. Going on a trip with some friends, so throughout this season I'll be looking for somebody to take my spot. Hopefully I could return after that term if you guys had fond enough memories of me to bring me back :)

Hmm, you guys may get lucky yet, had one friend back out and now we're discussing what we'll wind up doing.

In other news:
The English NT plays Hungary tough in our last tune-up before the consolation tourney starts (22366). I feel pretty good about how this match went, our enthusiasm is incredibly low right now, so the defense won't be quite where it needs to be. Even despite that though we really played a good team close, our offense is looking especially solid so far, hopefully we can maintain our current pace when the important games of the consolation tourney start.

Fingers crossed for a good draw! I do not envy whoever wins the U21 position their draw at all.

No worries, it happens. If we keep getting minutes like that though we'll be in good shape.

Solid all around first GS update, so good work guys! I'll be officially picking the opening roster sometime tomorrow.

Be ready for an exciting first game against Romania as the English NT squad looks to try out some new things!

Well we got season 22 off on the wrong foot as I made a slight screw up in tactics that hurt us quite a bit. We'll bounce back quickly though as we prepare to host India next week!

The Backcourt of Tomorrow, Today!
The English NT finally got into its season 22 groove today with a resounding 28 pt home victory over India. In the game bigman Darryl Austin made his triumphant return to the team, with 31 pts in only 25 minutes. England looked in control throughout the game, and the coaches were happy with everyone's performances after the game.

But the biggest news for today had to be the debut of a backcourt that you'd better get used to seeing in seasons to come as PG Shatrughan Palit and SG James Gascoigne both made their first starts in competitive NT games. Both players looked solid all around and you could tell why we've been patiently awaiting their arrival on the NT for so long now. Palit was starting in place of injured starting guard Barry Bains, while Gascoigne is seeing time due to Mackays distinct lack of work ethic this season and Sharplings iffy GS. Expect to see both of them for many seasons to come!
