Nice Breakdown!

I’d imagine next year should look similar. I know the top 3 SOC teams return the majority of their starting lineups & their leading scorer, minus Burg losing DL.

Good breakdown hard to fight the numbers especially when talking tournament time probably why it’s a little quiet on the topic.

Excellent work putting this together. As I already stated, I was wrong. The SOC was clearly stronger this year.
