🦁 ... 🐻, oh my! What a great game and season for both teams, and a couple of very special players. Congratulations Lyons! Rupp looked as full for a Sweet 16 final as I've seen for a while too. 🏀 Official game stats ~

Great minds, and whatnot ... 🤣

Perry dribbling, controlling a possession like Marques Haynes or Curley Neal of the Globetrotters ...

😏 Asking and answering (ikr) - Perry has scored 61 through the Lyons first three games. 17 points through the first half. Needs a Perry-possible 22 in the second to tie Rascoe and Tisdale.

Both teams hot from the field of late: Lyon Co 7/10 Harlan Co 5/6

Lyons 🔥 at the tail end of the first.
