wow congratz on that win, i had a chance at the end of regulation and just could not capitalize, good luck in the finals and promoting.

Thanks. I was actually a little surprised that it went to OT - I had been holding a little back in our other matches to surprise you . . . guess you were doing the same thing. I was predicting a 5-8 point regular match win.

You have the better rebounding team, so I was surprised that my guys ended up with the edge in rebounding in this match. I do emphasize offensive efficiency with my team, so not surprised I had the edge there, but you had a huge advantage in personal fouls and in 3 point shots. Not sure what happened there - that probably made it closer.

The match going to overtime actually played to one of my team's strengths - a much deeper bench. I think your team is very strong 5 - 6 deep. but once your subs had to start playing significant minutes, they could not match my subs. If I do promote, my advice for your "Strong" team would be get another quality back-up - either a SF/SG combo guy or a SG/PG combo guy, depending on what position you are nottraining, to fill that gap in your team. If I don't promote, my advice would be blow up your team and start over, since I would not like to face your guys two seasons in a row.

We shall see if I end up promoting out of IV.58, or if Catzz does. Should be some quality matches there.

ya it comes down to a lot of things. I had better rebounding but got out rebounded, your PF was a beast. I thought i needed the boost so i guesses with GDP and got that wrong, that had to cost me at least a few points. I actually had a pretty poor game from 3, if you look at my team all season. Also I was watching the game and my starters played only about a minute and a half of the overtime so that really killed me and was supper depressing to watch lol. Anyways good luck, you should not have that much of a problem promoting.

I am kinda going to blow up my team. I have a million in the bank so i'm going to get deeper, younger, and hopefully a little cheaper. I'm going to try to put together a team that will promote and then be able to hopefully compete in DIII.

My kitties are moving on, up to D.3. Been in IV.58 a long time. But, my team is getting a little old and not sure my stay up in D.3 will be very long. Hopefully I will cross paths with some of the many IV.58 alumni (from both this season and seasons past) in seasons to come.

Best of luck to all.

Hope you can stay in d.3 for awhile. Also, give Danny Dunn some playing time. That boy was a beast in the second finals game!

Official league rankings looks like this:

1. Fiercekitties
2. Strong arm of the law
3. Catzzz
4. Blaserz
5. Mattakeunk Moose
6. Winking Mares
7. GODS AND GODDESSES
8. Javamen
9. Lightning Hoopers
10. Majarlika
11. Panama Panthers
12. Funky Town Fire
13. Athens, WV Warriors
14. Columbus Wizards
15. The Dark Shoguns
16. Zappaz

The only thing I would change is move Majarlika lower because they lived on Boilermakers record for the rest of the season.

Looking back to my first ranking, I got a grand total of 2 correct, which is why I should work for ESPN.

Great season to all, and congrats to Fiercekitties for winning the league tittle and earning a promotion to D.3!

My next post is going to be a ranking of best drafts by all the teams, including Fiercekitties because it will be the last IV.58 draft for them.

Congrats on the finals win and the promotion, well-deserved. Wish you all the best in D.3! Also, props to the Catzzz on a great performance and a second straight trip to the finals.

congratz on the win and good luck moving up
