Meyers: Trap Game Central - TeDuits/Estes is already looking on to round 2, and if y'all get by them whoever you do end up playing will probably do the same, trap games are real, and this team can surprise you.
Destiny - All it takes is one win, the morale will go up, the confidence will soar and everyone is going to be rooting for you. It's just getting the first one that's key
Hecht: Scharnsanity - The emergence of Jake Scharn has been extremely fun to watch. He had a breakout game a few games back and hasn't looked back. He has been fantastic this year and he's a name to watch in these playoffs.
Three Point Shooting - This team lives and dies with the three, if they can get the three balls falling, they'll be in business, we've seen what they can do when they do make it and it's deadly.
McNamara: Peeta - After a week one game, Peter White has not played for this team since, I can't guarantee sundays, but I'm very confident he will play in Friday's matchup. With Peter not only is he a star scorer and defender, but he takes the focus off a few other players, oh and they haven't lost when he's on the floor.
Balance - They have bigs, they have littles, they have shooters and they have rebounders, they don't have any overwhelming strengths, but they don't have any huge holes either.
Gingras: Momentum - They picked up a win against a good team this week, and every week it seems they get better and better, that's a good trend to have entering the playoffs.
The San Antonio Effect - If you've ever watched a game team Gingras have played they make for the most part really intelligent passes. This smart ball movement will help them in possibly creating a first round upset.
Majkut: Hockey's Over - Liam McDonough and Andrew Berube should be back full time for these playoffs, they're two key players and should be back and in business.
Ceiling - This team haven't reached their peak yet and while they haven't had their whole team for a lot of the season, they still haven't reached that peak potential we all know they have
Zolomon: Five Guys No More - For the last 6 or 7 they had at most 6 players, now it's playoff time, and they have a team. It worked for them as a handful of players really got to see play time, and have played a lot time while immensely tired, now with subs who knows how high they can fly.
Welcome Back T-Chase: While there has been no word on if he can return or not, it's likely at the very least he'll be back for the friday games. He'll give them an edge on the boards to help Alex Sellers out, and could provide them with the spark they need.
Southwick: Elias Jiser - Yep he gets his own category, whether he wins MVP or not he's been incredible this year. He's good for at least 20 on a weekly basis and his consistency has led this team.
Physicality - They're big team with some big players capable of beating you with contact, they're smart and don't foul, but they will smoother you and make you uncomfortable from the first whistle to the last.
O'Wiley: Speed Doesn't Kill As Much As Size - They have some big bodies on this roster, that will work to their advantage on the boards.
Full Squad - I could be wrong, but I don't think they've had a full team all year, with all 10 guys this team has a ridiculous ceiling.
Bernard/Hastings: Fast Break - In terms of fast break offense this team is at least number one or number two, they're fast and their bigs can run. It creates matchup nightmares.
Winning the Foul Battle - Drew Stone does a magical thing where he fouls out his matchup on game by game basis, at the very least you will have a ball handler in foul trouble when you play them, you don't want that.
TeDuits/Estes: Learning From Mistakes - Last year this team took an early upset after being the one seed, with I believe 4 returning players, they know as well as anyone that one and done is for real. They're ready and have a lot of playoff experience on the roster.
Offense and Defense and the Pesky TeDuits - Ryan is an offensive specialist who can defend well, Colin is defensive specialist who can score well, and Bradley is hybrid with elite level defense. The three of them alone makeup amazing balance, the rest of the roster is extremely balenend as well and that helped them get a high seed.
Strauss: Teamwork - I looked at the box score today looking for who went off, and it wasn't one player, every single player contributed roughly an even amount... that's teamwork if I've ever seen it, and they've shown it all year not just today.
Unpredictability - The scary thing about this team is they have so many scoring options, you can't predict who's going to take the shot, they're hard to scout, they're hard to read making them hard to defend.
Manzi: Shear Power - The star power on this team is ridiculous, despite this two game slide, they were missing a key player in the loss today, and they have the pieces to beat anyone. They can win matchups with whoever they put on the court and that's what makes them so powerful.
Play your position? Nahhhh - Manzi has bigs who play little, and littles who play big, they have shooters who are 6 feet and rebounders who are small, how do you guard that?
Booth: Defense wins Championships - They play defense to say the least, they took home the defensive title this year and they earned it with elite level defender, you can't win if you, don't score any points.
Rebounding: They have bigs and they do work in the paint, if they win the rebounding battle they win, and they usually do, this makes them so dynamic, and is a large reason they finished the league on top.
