What makes a good tournament team?

There are exceptions, of course, but there are two basic things: you have to be able to stay close, and you have to be able to close strong, because it is the final score that counts.

If you don't play defense, if you have a cold night, the other team will take off and leave you. You have to play defense to stay close even when you are cold.

If you don't have someone who can make plays at crunch time, it doesn't matter if you stay close, because you won't be able to finish on top.
