Looks like I made the right decisions and was able to take down #1 in the Big8 conference, BigRed1 and his Running Redbirds, with a score of 130 to 110.
I wasn't going to take a chance with Take It Easy so I went Normal and used my best lineup. My star player, Oren Bacon still fouled out it 24 minutes... I'm not sure he's ever fouled out since he was a sub 21 yr old trainee, but I'll take the 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Besides putting the ball in the basket more (55% FG vs his 43%), I had 8 more shot attempts to help. My team was able to do well in Rebounding (53 vs 31) and Assists (28 vs 14). My players aren't terrible passers, but I'm still surprised I was able to get 28 against such a good team. Maybe 1-3-1 wasn't a good idea against my bigs?
I did have a big enthusiasm rating because this was my first Normal of the season. I think I went in with a Fanatical enthusiasm rating which is 13 out of the max 15.
Anyway, we may both have a different strategy if we meet in the championship game. So I'll just take what I've learned here and continue on my quest to promote this season.

Oh wow. Your arena is huge, haha. Didn't realize you started two 18 year olds that first game. Also, Eze appears to be a nice looking draftee you snagged.

Congrats on the win. That was a close game through 3 quarters. I'm just sitting back and enjoying watching the competition at the top.

Besides pops each week the only other thing I'm looking forward to right now is waiting for that draft list to come out...

I survived my second bout with I Volt, 122 to 113 I lost the first because I underestimated them.

Just looking at FG spread doesn't give you the whole picture. I went 43-88 or 48.8%, versus I Volt's 44-93 for 47.3%. It looks like I Volt had 5 more FG attempts, but that doesn't mean 5 more possessions. I didn't watch the game but breaking down the stats it all came down to Free Throws.
My team shot 37 and made 32. I Volt shot 21 and made 15. That's a 17 point difference which made up the superior 3 point shooting of my opponent to give me the 9 point victory.
Not to mention my team's rebounding (even in a 3-2 zone) which is an important concept I exercise in basketball.
Looks like my TIE strategy paid off thanks to the many free throws my team took.

Thanks, man. Like I said before, I might not have survived if those FTs didn't go in. We'll see what happens in the playoffs ;-).

It might look impressive in DIV.... but it's really not. I saw a screenshot of a DII... The TV contracts are insane.

You are making a lot more than me from your attendance, mine jumped 15k last game because it was against you on TV.


Good game btw, I took my chance, deciding to make it crunch time, didn't expect to win, this surprised me.

Yeah, I thought I could win with a simple counter pick and took a chance at TIE but I was wrong. At least I know I likely have the highest enthusiasm rating going to the play offs haha! The only normal I took was against I Volt mid season.

Also I have a Superior PR Manager ($20k salary) which helps with my arena. I over-maxed my arena, so I'm trying to fill the lower tier more than bleachers. I also have a Superior Youth Trainer ($25k) and Competent Nutritionist ($7k) which added a lot to my staff salary.
