Trinity 67 St. Xavier 38 (7th Region Quarterfinal)

Rocks roll from start. Keep on rolling to RUPP!! Go Rocks!!

Congratulations to the Rocks. My guess is that Thursday's game may be a little closer.

I'm sure it will be. Ballard beat Central by 87-53, so both winners can expect a closer game. Jason Frakes has noted that this is the 7h straight year that Ballard and Trinity have met in the 7th Region tournament.

Trinity defense was very, very good

Only saw St. X twice this season and they were much, much, much better the first time I saw them. Pretty pathetic performance tonight.

I figured T would win pretty handily, somewhere around the 10 point margin. I didn't see it getting hand like this though.

X and T are just on two different levels in the "money making" sports.

What happened in the Ballard and Trinity game(s) during the season?

They haven't played.

This will be their first meeting I believe.

Big difference was that Trinity absolutely refused to let the X inside guys push them around. Without being able to push people around X didn't have anything else. Kiesler would try to back people down for easy shots. Last night the defense didn't move so he had to either pass back out or take a bad shot.

Three wins against X in the same season. Love it. Go Rocks!!!

I love to watch Jacob King play. To me, he tries to play the same type of game as Tyler Ulis did at UK. His quickness will be severely tested with Ballard, however.
