Wagner College 146 defeated Swan River Serpents 90 (133876945)

Updated league tables are again available on both official HGL threads!

I think your team had a good performance despite the loss... Few notes statistics wise:

My team previously had 98,2ppg scoring defense, and you were able to score 90 (your scoring offense average 66,2ppg before last night).

Also, you actually outrebounded (!) me on the offensive glass (19-14), and lost total rebounds only by 4.

And even though like you mentioned elsewhere your assist to turnover ratio remained negative due to 23 turnovers (and 18 assists), it was still far superior yesterday at 0,78 compared to your season average of 0,55 after 6 Rounds of play. As far as those 23 turnovers go, I was able to get 5 more (than your season TO average so far, 16,8) than "anticipated" partly due to FCP tactics, but I guess it also opened up a bit easier scoring opportunities...

So, shooting .358 from the field and .370 from the 3 point land are above your season average (I think as I haven't calculated actual percentages for all your matches, just took a look at numbers and made some mental math), so I think there are lots of positives to take with you to the next round of games... :)

Round 7 : Elan Demars 100 - 104 Les Gueux du Marais : (133878362)

Wow, what a Round we had! We actually had a new HGL record for games decided by 5 points or less per round - 3 games out of 8 in fact were true nail biters this time!

Rajdersi was able to pull an upset win as a slight underdog against Suuret Muinaiset, and WiMaOlCa was so close in doing the same to Heywood Big Dogs, which has one of the most expensive rosters in HGL!
I don't think I've ever seen such an ending of a match in a BB match viewer: WMO was down by 3 when one second was left in a game clock, and they actually scored a buzzerbeater, but a 2 pointer instead of three pointer that would've been needed to force the match to the overtime - an unfortunate tactical mistake at a critical time!
While it's obviously very frustrating for the losing team, and it is critical tactical mistake from players, I guess it's still good that not everything in BB is optimized to the absolute perfection, as these sort of situations can once in a while happen in real life as well, especially as players are in a pressurized situations... Anyone who was watching NCAA D1 Mens National Championship Final this year knows what I'm talking about.

And of course, like you mentioned demars, Les Gueux du Marais was able both predicting your tactics correctly and also guess your offensive orientation correctly, and being able to secure 68,9% of match total rebounds - those factors probably secured an underdog a precious win in this exciting match between French teams this time around!

I just noticed (by checking out your BB league forum) you've been doing/creating these kind of stats for your own leagues' thread for more than couple of years (yes, about 8 seasons it seems!), so now I can better understand where your quickness and routine comes from when it comes to creating stats! :)
It's definitely great to have these kind of stats available for HGL as well, as all these sort of things/additions make HGL feel even more interesting and special, so thank you for taking time to create these!

It's been over 30 seasons since I started with those statistics I enjoy it and every now and then it makes someone else happy ;)

It does :) For me, it adds the warmly welcomed depth to the BB (and to HGL), which is in some parts missing from the base game (at least for us non-supporters, I can't recall how much extra stats are available for supporters), and some of these stats created for HGL aren't even directly available through buzzer-manager.

Oh well, PU match reports/box scores can't be viewed through buzzer-manager anyway (as it doesn't seem to keep track of your teams' PU matches at all), so it doesn't really matter which stats are available through buzzer-manager anyway as far as HGL is concerned.

Speaking of which, just out of interest; how many of you guys use buzzer-manager by the way?

I do but when it has a bug, the world ends in a minute. ^^

It does have few unfortunate bugs (and someone mentioned that it's not actively maintained anymore, was he right?), such as some season statistics missing completely (when you browse old seasons' schedules, not all seasons are visible on the listing of seasons), so that unfortunately renders it totally useless if you'd like to find out your all time player and team stats, for which it would otherwise be a fantastic tool for. I've also contacted the (supposed) owner/maintainer of the site through BBmail, but never got a response...

I use Buzzer-manager occasionally. Mostly when I want to check my team's historical statistics from BBM.

The owner and creator does not play any more BUT, when a problem occurs, some know him and he does what is necessary to end the issues.
I use it since the beginning of BM, so I've all my team's stats.
