Final score 110-86. Somehow the US are winning (very interesting game), so that's one less thing to worry about!

Well somehow we got lucky again with our draw...! I think we can reasonably expect 5 victories in the next 6 games, which should qualify us to the playoffs. Mexico, Peru, Venezuela and Uruguay have the edge over us though, as they all have a 2-0 record already.
Let's take it game by game and see what comes out of it...!

Well so far so good, not much to see here.
We need maximum point difference and for once in my life FCP worked!
I went back to season 18 and I could not find another 100+ pd victory for the u21 so it's a first :D

Consolation tournament is done. We only had 1 loss, which means we're qualified for the playoffs, by far the best team with a 5-3 record (we started with 0-2).

Our first game is against Portugal, a really strong european team. We saw how we fared against strong team (see the game against Turkey) so that one is an uphill battle.
I must say, apart from 1 or 2 players, gameshape has been splendid this season, so keep up the good work. I will probably add 2 to 4 players before the game (it's a do or die situation really!). Gameshape will be a really important factor for these selection so please be careful with minutes this week if you think you have a player worthy or the U21!

In terms of ranking for the America's championship, Peru and Uruguay are above us, that means we need to get one round further than them. Peru clearly have the weakest opponent of the 3 but anything can happen.
If we manage to win our game against Portugal, we'll end up either against Slovenia or Columbia.... Time to put our head down!

As expected we're getting torn apart by the portugueses, at the end of the first half and the score is 31-22.
9 point difference is bad when you only score 22 points!
I went with a 3-2 zone in order to cut their passing to the inside (there's no point in trying to compete with their bigs directly). It seems to work a bit as they don't score that much despite the LI, but our guards can't score either so I think we're screwed!
All other american teams except Peru (playing tonight) have lost as well. It's not completely over yet but it sure seems like next season America's championship will be in Peru

End of third, we're still in it somehow (-8), our B team managed to outrun/ outscore theirs, but our starters can't score anything against their A team. At least we're not very bad on defense, that's a good thing.
One quarter to go!

Alright this season's over. We fought better than I thought but we couldn't do anything against Portugal's bigs and their surprising guard (Avila)
Now starting the fastidious scouting of all U20 players!

Yeah we were a lot closer than I thought we would. I almost started to believe we could win when we went up to -5 with around 5 minutes to go!

Got away :/ passed out before auction ended as it was at 3am and someone outbid me by 8k.
Worth keeping an eye on as he was 63TSP, extremely well balanced and already had all the outside holes taken care of (7 in JS, JR, OD)
