My enthusiasm does seem a little low...

Also, to add another subject anyone notice how overrated most of these conferences in the NCAA Tournament especially the Big East? And how underrated the ACC was!?!? Yep, still bitter about VT's exclusion from yet another tourney. Yes, we've been a 1 seed in the NIT for 3 years straight and a 2 seed before that...

Good game Albany, looking at the ratings I'm not sure I deserved to lose so badly, but you caught me with a 3-2 zone, and thats what I get for Road TIEing errr Playoff Normaling. Good luck to everyone who's left in playoffs/relegation!

Yep good game A&M. Was surprised you TIE.

Not sure I can expect anything different but at least I have Lucio Rodriguez back for next game. He was out for two weeks.

You would win that game easily, if you didn't TIE, but I guess, you got a bit too overconfident. It's a shame, really, because you probably have the most talented team on Great 8. Oh well.

Not sure I would win the game easily if I had CTed, considering I lost by 16. Wouldn't say I got overconfident, I knew my odds weren't great Normaling, but I knew that the only way I would have a chance to beat Deronimo 2 out of 3 was to TIE both the quarterfinal and the semifinal. Calculated risk.

Just my opinion. I have been wrong before. But in general, if you didn't think that you could take Albany with lesser enthusiasm, I don't think you would TIE, which brings me back to my point, you must have felt pretty strong about your chances. And if you didn't, then, I wouldn't call your move a "calculated risk" but rather something else.

Edit:
To clarify, I just think that it is better to play in Finals and lose, than to consciously play against your odds in Semi-finals and never reach Finals just on account that otherwise your chances to win the whole thing are at bare minimum.

That's how risks work, you take take a risk and you succeed, you look like a genius. However, you take a risk and you lose... well, we all know what Discipline thinks. From past experiences, risks have been working out for me.

Perhaps the regular season game against Albany was a fluke, but I tie'd on the road and still won. That kinda explains my reasoning behind my enthusiasm. Also, I don't think enthusiasm would have done it, my tactics and my inability to win key games to get home-court advantage is what made me lose.

Oh yea, nice win by Albany. It was really a horrible 4th quarter for Albany, but he hung in there. Finals should be fun to watch.

In that regular season game I had just sold two good players-my PG and a PF. My backup PF played most of the minutes.

And I have since bought a new, better PG, and my last lineup is my best.
