Next game... vs. Sutherland Sharks

I'll try to give a little preview of the teams we will be playing in the next few days.

Tomorrow's game against Sutherland will also be a tough one. I've personally played against this team before and they arent the most talented team but they are really solid and well-drilled. They aren't a big team, but they will be tough. These guys are a lot older than the AIS team too. Sutherland plays in a league which is very loosely a minor league. A lot of guys that play in the National league play in this league in the offseason.

Sutherland are currently 3rd in their league. They only have a few guys over 6'5" so the pilots should have a big size advantage. I'd expect the Pilots to outrebound these guys pretty handily. But this team is very solid and experienced so i think it will be a different sort of game than the AIS one. I would guess the AIS played a very uptempo kind of game. Sutherland are much more likely to play a half-court game.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sutherland pull some guys in for the game, guys that play or have played in the national league. It should be a good hit out for the Pilots. Especially backing up from the day before. Luckily it should only be a 1 hour drive max.

I'll be at the game tomorrow night so i'll post a little review and some pics (if i remember to take my camera to work tomorrow).

let me know if you want me to look out for anything in particular!
