This team is skilled and interesting to watch, but there are issues that show their ugly heads when they face talented opposition. The most important, I think, is that none of Patberg, Penn, and Berger are particularly quick. Penn & Berger are very skilled shooter/play makers, and Ali has a great approach to the game and is selfless, but all have problems with very quick defenders.
The two bigs are also skilled offensive players, but neither are great athletes.....so they sometimes struggle on D.
It doesn't look like they'll win the BT now, but I think they will right the ship....the last 3 games has been a very tough scheduling block.
