Looks like I made the right decisions and was able to take down #1 in the Big8 conference, BigRed1 and his Running Redbirds, with a score of 130 to 110.
I wasn't going to take a chance with Take It Easy so I went Normal and used my best lineup. My star player, Oren Bacon still fouled out it 24 minutes... I'm not sure he's ever fouled out since he was a sub 21 yr old trainee, but I'll take the 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Besides putting the ball in the basket more (55% FG vs his 43%), I had 8 more shot attempts to help. My team was able to do well in Rebounding (53 vs 31) and Assists (28 vs 14). My players aren't terrible passers, but I'm still surprised I was able to get 28 against such a good team. Maybe 1-3-1 wasn't a good idea against my bigs?
I did have a big enthusiasm rating because this was my first Normal of the season. I think I went in with a Fanatical enthusiasm rating which is 13 out of the max 15.
Anyway, we may both have a different strategy if we meet in the championship game. So I'll just take what I've learned here and continue on my quest to promote this season.
