Coach Talk

Dominators
Hey, it's good to be confident, Dominators. It takes real gumption to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Dallas Goedert and Breece Hall), while still earning the W.
sally's Unmatched Team
Just one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire following this performance... especially since sally's Unmatched Team needed every possible point in this narrow matchup.
