TEAM LOGO/MASCOT:


Yes, our team mascot is a roll of toilet paper. It will be on the sidelines cheering on the team at every game. Before each game every member of the team is required to rub the toilet paper for good luck. A team photo with the signatures of all the players on the roll will be taken soon and posted.

TEAM STRATEGY:
Right now Coach Po is thinking of letting his team run a little on offense, and then drop back into a 2-3 zone on defense to save the legs. Obviously the starting lineup will have to consist of solid 3-pt shooters if the plan is going to be to run early. If the 3-pt shooting is strong then the running will continue, if the 3-pt shooting sucks then we can put in the big men and work the inside. I realize a running offense dropping into a zone defense has very rarely been used in basketball, but its basically a soft defense so I think Team Basic Soft can handle it.

Thats about all I got for you people in the pre-game edition of the Intramural blog. Regardless of the outcome the entire team will be headed out to the bars after the game Thursday night so feel free to come up and hang out with the stars. BASIC KNOWLEDGE..........
