Jadoka Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I think you have to favor the Memphis Teams and Oak Ridge and Future in a tournment like this due to overall depth. While several teams go 5-6 deep with excellent players in a tournment were you have to play 5-6 games in three days, the legs go so depth is more important. Jump shots tend to go away as the finals approach. Thus the teams that can play 8-9 with significant minutes and still compete at a high level have an advantage.

btexpress Posted May 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 (edited) Jadoka, The only team that has significant depth is YOMCA most of the other teams have a short bench. Especially the Future and the Shooting stars. I would favor YOMCA to place first and it is really a toss up from there. The Future definitly has a shot at winning it and so does Oak Ridge and you can't count out the Wildcats especially if their bench can step up and play hard.

AERoadrunners Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Being from East Tennessee, I feel as though the Oak Ridge Bulls will be the team to beat. No team has came close to beating these guys and I feel as though they're to tuff. But hey, I don't know much about the Memphis teams so who knows. My long shot will be the Knoxville Cagers, they shouldn't be playing in this tournament but they had a good showing in substate but they will be the first time out.
