aw sweet i know what im doin at 1 am
The Tuscany Lucky Strikes lost to the Napoli Kool Menthol Lights in round one. In the women's Italian league, the Scungili Virginia Slims took the crown over Parma Alfred's for the second straight year, as Maria Domi scored the game winner.
In 2024, with 24 games remaining, we only needed a .500 point percentage to finish with 94 points and a guaranteed playoff berth. We finished with 91 points and missed the playoffs on a tiebreaker.
Brad is right. Nothing but at asterisk or an 'X' next to our name will stop me from being very worried.
