COMMERCE REC: Can They Repeat | Playoffs Start This Week
Julio Alvarado Coaching His Teammate After The Game
Coming off the team’s first championship after their first season in Ultimate Hoops, the Runnin' Rebels are looking to defend their championship. GM Rashodd Ross has put together a very solid team. The only problem so far is getting the whole team to show up for every game. With those key players missing, the team has struggled through the season and finished the regular season with a record of 3-5. Even with the team not having those players, they can still be a tough out on any given night.
On last season the Runnin' Rebels became the first team in Ultimate Hoops history to be a 7th seed and win the championship. That might be on to something. As we enter the playoffs they are in the 7th spot again. Maybe that’s what they prefer when it comes to the playoffs. There will be more added pressure this season though while they try to repeat. Last season some think it was luck that they won. This first roundmatch up they will have to play a battle tested C4 team.
If the Running Rebels plan on repeating, they need to have every player available, especially with a tough1st round match up like this one. Hopefully everyone does show up and they can get things together so they can put themselves in a better position to repeat, if not it will be an early exit for them.
