Message: [QUOTE="brasssbonanzaa, post: 3909961, member: 794"] You're not wrong, though if you look at what teams excelled in the tournament - it's largely those with at least two of these three factors: [LIST] [*]Prior experience in their team's system [*]Prior experience in big games [*]Didn't experience significant repeated Covid-related disruption during the season [/LIST] 0 of these three apply to us. That's not an excuse, but given the completely abnormal complexion of this season, it can't be ignored. Success this season, given sporadic practices and no offseason, will bias towards those who can draw from previously-acquired experience and not those who had to gel and build a system heading into/during this season.
