Until UBC actually does something at the final 8 tournament...ie win a first round game, at least...they'll continue to deserve the "choker" label that hangs around their necks.
ReplyDeleteWas it any wonder Brock coach Ken Murray was delighted with his seeding last March?
Playing UBC in the first round has become a sure ticket to the semis.
Not only has UBC come into the tournament seeded #2 only to be bounced by the #7 seed....four times, I believe...most of those games weren't even close.
The Thunderbirds have been the running gag at nationals for some time now.
Maybe this year will be different, as they appear to have finally learned how to play without the ball, ie, play good D.
We shall soon see.
