Depends if the Rookies wil play together or just want to strut there stuff.

Sophomores have a 6 game winning streak, which leads me to believe NBA experience plays a bigger role then talent in this game.

Sophomore team is put together horribly -- the entire team is comprised of forwards, save for two point guards. If they lose it's definitely not because they're less talented, but because whomever picked the team seemingly just chose players without thinking about what positions they play. I guess it doesn't matter too much since it's a free for all, though.
