I simply said I had been involved in  one of those exact situations lately and that a team did, in fact, win back to back games.  No inference was made, by any stretch of the imagination, that this was the "rule" or the "exception to the rule".

Almost like playing a team on its home floor.....they at least have a one-game practice on the floor. [/quote]Maybe its to offset the fact that HF gets to sit on their tushes and watch the game Friday night, instead of running up and down the court all night long! [/quote]At this juncture playing the next day isn't that big of a deal [/quote]Although that may be true, the fact that you only have to win one game, whereas the other two teams have to win two games to make the play-offs.......  That's a big advantage. But on a side-note.  Condition-wise, they may be able to play two games in 24 hours, but what if the Friday night game is a double overtime nail-biter?  How will the winner of that game be able to get up for a Saturday afternoon game? [/quote] I have recent personal experience/exposure to this situation and I can tell you that the team that won it all won 2 games back to back.

A normal district game was played on a Wednesday night?

Dove- Have you given any thought to applying for that Wheatley job?  It's never too late to realize your dreams.

Never- when I am not here, several "associates" are keeping me aware of all overt misrepresentations.  Once again, congratulations Mr. Lin on your accomplishments while the talent is healing.  Win-loss record is pretty good, too.

While the district title is a significant one, the more meaningful/significant title is still in the near future.

Because it is accurate.
