Don't dodge the response Colonels. Shoe's on the other foot this time, you justify to us why YOU should have won. Explain your huge advantages to us. YOU explain why this should have been a slam dunk win, and please refrain from using the I beat team A, team A was better than team B, so I should have automatically beaten team B.
YOU prove it to us for once.......and let's see if your justifications are up to OUR standards. Or is that too much of a challenge for you?
-Considerable OTR difference...40 adjusted OTR...team talent is more important than any coaching feature out there.
-The team has 5! walkons...they should have had fatigue issues regardless what I was running
-I doubled them up on the glass 44-22
-They outshot me despite having considerably worse LPs and PEs
-We turned the ball over more than they did for what apparent reason I don't know
-My FT% was rather ridiculously low
-I had slightly better IQs than they had
-I was playing man to man defense, not any kind of a zone, thus its not like their 3s were uncontested
-Their 40 PER SF went 3-7 from 3 while my 67 PER SF went 1-5, and they only switched to a +1 zone no less at halftime. Look at the ****** PERs of the guys who made 1 FG3 for them...all bench guys below 40...
-They went 17-33 from 2, despite not having a player with an LP over 49
-I'm bringing this up because it matters...they lost to 507 Sim AI West Georgia at home by 27 the game before, thus coming off of my own 46 point road win, I easily thought, I got this.
-faztradamus' North Florida team beat them in exhibition...played them at a 0 defense in the first half, Montevallo went 5-12 from 3....NFL switches to +2 in the second half, and Montevallo betters its 3 point percentage, going 4-9...suggesting that taking away their outside wouldn't have necessarily worked.
You were supposed to address why you should've won, why this was an all-day, every day you-should-never-lose game. Saying that your poor ft shooting team shot ft's more poorly than normal is not an answer.
The question is what, heading into this game, would've given you the mistaken impression that this is basically a game that you could never and should never lose.
You are 39 pts better than them, yes. That's a decent advantage, but not monstrous. And they have a short bench, which you moronically did not take advantage of. What else? What else did you see going into that game that would've made you conclude that your team was ridiculously better than theirs?
Because what I see is that you had the better team and should expect to win a clear majority of the time. What I also see is that you were on the road and have a terrible ft shooting team and they have a good ft shooting team, and this contributed mightily to your loss. What I also see is that they have a very good pg who's better than anyone on your team, and that showed.
So I'd expect you to win a clear majority of the time, but for them to beat you by three points at home just isn't that crazy.
