I posted this once, but it seems to have disappeared. While I dont normally like a team having to play extended minutes in a tourney setting, I think in this case, it really loosened up the team. They had been playing so tight in regulation with a lot of short-armed shots, but they seemed to just play really free in OT, acting like there was nothing to lose. I think we needed the OT to get this team on track in the tourney.

Another blessing in disguise: losing the BTT in the first round.

Our team was tighter than a in the first half. They looked like a new team in the second half and OT with fresh legs.

I like our chances on Sunday.
