Thunder + Bangu + Wings

This post has certainly created a lot of interest and I will leave it open for a while longer. The MTA will be an interesting option. Please try to stay on topic.

Thunder - Are They For Real?

The Thunder have fallen on hard times with no wins since May. They seem to have fallen back into their old ways of finding ways to loose games. Can they turn it around?

'08 Boys Regionals

The Regional tournament schedule is set. MN had resonable draws, if previous year or historical performance has anything to do with expected results. My picks for best chance to get out of their group are 18s, 17s and 19s. My pick for teams to not win a game are 16s and 15s.

'08 Girls Regionals

The MN girls draw is probably not as good as the boys. But generally I think the quality of the MN girls teams is higher than the boys (in comparison to the competition at Regionals.) That said, the girls with a chance to get out of their group are the 14s and 18s. All other teams should at least be competative.
