And we are down to the Elite 8!!!
Canada Tournament Coverage Season 19(20)Clodhoppers
(24964) vs (24)sherbrookers
(33472)3 Div2 teams remain in the Elite 8 and 2 of which will square off on Thursday night.
The Clodhoppers have never advanced past the Sweet 16, having only achieved that feat once in S17.
Led by double guards Dietlinde
(14721284) and Maconi
(14745074), the team sits in 2nd place in II.4 Big 8 conference. Its cup run has been filled with bot draws, with it's only challenge coming from an early favorite to promote, the Cerebral Assassins
(33522), which the Clodhoppers surprised the competition with a CT vs TIE finish.
With both The Hounds
(25054) and Headless Thompson Gunners
(33296) ahead of it in the standings, it looks as though The Clodhoppers are making roster arrangements as a majority of the team has been put on the transfer list. However with that being said, it looks as though The Clodhoppers has saved its best line up for the cup game and with the players on the transfer list due after the game, it is anybody's guess what the manager, krazysilly, has up his sleeves...
Still sitting 5th in the difficult Big 8 of II.1, the sherbrookers has elected to play the starters for the 2 league games this week. But seeing how the starter minutes were limited in the Tuesday games, will the manager, Shergut, stretch the players' minutes just a bit to claim a chunk of the cash prize for winning? OR is the risk too great and will opt to try and fight for a playoff spot and a possible 1st round playoff match up against the aforementioned Cerebral Assassins who are still in contention to win the II.1?
Clodhoppers has the better team and looks poised to take the game after punting the Saturday league game. But Clodhopper has used a CT just a week ago to advance in the cup. With a blowout win and reduced starter minutes for the Tuesday league game, will the sherbrookers put in its A line against the Clodhoppers? Will sherbrookers take a page out of the Clodhoppers play book and play with CT?
Or will the Clodhoppers overrun the sherbrookers B line since Shergut has decided that its more beneficial to the team if the sherbrookers concentrated on a playoff spot?
