Season 19 Wrap

After an expected 130-102 loss to Australia with a much depleted roster our season ends at 5-6, a significant improvement from the 2-4 record we had in the last Asia tournament. Despite losing the game our ranking improved two points to 47. In fact, despite losing the last 4 games our ranking improved 10 points over the course of those games. I think this means that while losing we were still performing well relative to our ranking. (Maybe, but I don’t really know how the formula works).

Worth notice, 2 of the teams we beat early in the season (Australia and Philippines) are playing each other in the Semi-finals. I’m guessing Australia will win and I will be rooting for them in the finals.

And, in reference to the title of this thread, I think we can officially say the program has been resurrected, but you guys tell me what you think. Next is to work on building and improving for the future.

As I mentioned in my last post, I think a good long term goal for Nippon is to surpass New Zealand and Malaysia in the rankings. I will set goals for next season once I see our draw, but of course let’s hope to advance to the playoff round.

I will start preparing for the next season from now and will take a look at all the prospects for the team and see how they’ve progressed. There are a couple I have in mind to bring onto the team and there may be some other surprises as well. I think I will carry a
