Sorry for the CT. Once I decided to punt the rest of the season, this became effectively my last match in which I was in any sense trying to win. And I knew it was gonna be tough to win even with a CT. Either way I figured you'd be happy to know there wasn't going to be a real challenge for the #2 seed ...

Absent some injuries, it's pretty obvious where this is headed. 2 teams are head and shoulders above the rest of us. We're all playing for 3rd place. And I'd never apologize when I lost the game.

That’s exactly why I decided to punt the rest of the season. Any team other than those 2 should either load up or sell off. I chose to be a seller.

As for apologizing, I think regular season CT’s are in bad taste even when you lose—like it can be unclear what one was trying to accomplish with this weird move. In this case, it was one last non-bot win. Also the CT effectively communicates to Hoosiers that they are gonna have the #2 seed (or better) in our conf.

(I also effectively lost this game because I listed three good players to sell yesterday at lunchtime instead of after the game. Got two more short sales and then it’s all planning for next season )

No biggie. CTs are part of the game. It’s good to get tested.

I figured it would be a close game, but what an ending. Fuel to the fire for next year. The young guards on my team will be better next year.

Heh I was selfishly rooting for you because (i) I hoped (maybe irrationally given that there are not too many bots in d.II) Prairie Dogs might auto promote and (ii) I had a better plan to match-up to beat them than to beat you. (Indeed, I decided to cut the cord on this season because I realized how much cash I'd have to burn after you smashed my team to pieces in the first quarter of our match, despite my correct guess!)

I also was hoping he would auto promote. I selfishly wanted to promote this season to avoid selling someone on my team next season. I had the option to spend some cash before the deadline, and decided not to when they did. In all truth, my guards are probably not ready for d.II play yet. So another year with you lovely folks won't kill me. I may even try to have some fun with it. Start running some of the crazier tactics like the Princeton. Who knows...

If anyone will figure something out, then I am sure it would be you. One of the best BB coaches on here.
