The hated St. Leo! And even more hated Moccasins! What are their chances in the tourney Fu?
ReplyDeleteTough region dude. They have a chance though. They play great D. The key is they will have to put the ball in the basket. Shoot ars (Chance, Schuette, Allen must shoot well.) The slower the tempo and the lower the score the better for the Tars!!
