And for the 800,000th time at seems, we at Longwood will be running into davefilby and IW in the NT. Don't know how we win this one, we've been very lucky to get this far.
With the early foul trouble and the 10-0 deficit, I thought it was our night to go home. I'm sure you'll take revenge on us in the regular season and the invitable NT game. Bbunch graduates zero players from this Sweet 16 team and is an early favorite for next year. With everything I lose, I'm guessing that NT game will be a #1 vs #16 matchup and I'll have a harder time holding up my end of the bargain.
I've noticed that when a team goes down early like that, say 10-0, 12-2, 14-3, etc., they inevitably always seem to come back to win. I actually LIKE seeing myself down early like that because I know by the end of the game, we'll end up with more points. It's "almost" like clockwork. I'm also not the only one who has noticed this "phenomenon". Plenty of veteran coaches that I've spoken to say they have seen the same thing happen over and over and over.
Of course, this really only applies to pretty evenly matched teams. A badass human team against a just plain bad Sim team is going to keep widening that margin. But two fairly even human teams? The team that starts out really slow almost always comes back to win. It's a definite flaw in the engine.
