I think you are both right, frankly. We have played BBL a bunch and they move the ball well. Their strength, though, is their midfield size and speed. They would be crazy not to use that as a weapon and capitalize on mismatches. But what happened in the final was reflective of the team they were playing against and the score. When they were down, they played more individualistic than I have seen them - a lot of one on one play trying to be a hero. They lost patience and lost the game. Maybe the coach should have stepped in as you say. I think Wolfpack probably wins 6-4 in 10 ’games - there wasn’t a talent gap except for #22 and #3.
The BBL team is really the one we see all summer but for maybe a LSM and a goalie who joined for the WS team. They must have busted their butts to improve since the qualifier because they were a machine in Denver.
