Good catch. I misread as "end of three."

CTB, is that what you meant?

Well when those games stop sucking, I will say those games do not suck.

The final was 28-4. Draw your own conclusions.

Why draw conclusions? What does that do? We all know the skill level of the teams of the games we accept.
Crews I've worked with had two of these this year so far and another real close. We still gave the teams full value and were able to work on things, given one of the crew members was still honing the basics.

Eh, it's his opinion. I'd rather see him say that than pretend otherwise.

I've always wonder why girls/women in general were not better FG% shooter or more importantly better ft% shooters... Their ball is smaller therefore should have more room for error going into the same diameter hoop.

Well, for starters. you're wondering about a something that's not true:

"But there is one aspect of basketball where women seem to have an edge over men. Free-throw shooting. That's right, women are slightly better than men when it comes to shooting from 15 feet from the basket.

Sharp shooters: As the men's game focuses on dunking, women are shooting free throws better | Deseret News
