I was responding to your statement that they weren't anywhere near the top 10 in the state.

 

OHHHH, no I meant SK wasn't...which meant other teams could play with them. Sorry for the confusion. Anderson definitely top ten and probably ranked number 2. I just mean they weren't separated from the pack though. I think it would have been a very interesting tournament without Marion in it. But heck, Marion is outstanding and they deserved it. It just took a little away from the entire tournament just trying to guess who would come in second, instead of who might win it. Unfortunately, the winner was a given before it even started.

agreed. It looks like next years sweet 16 will be much more wide open. Had marion not been in this tournament, I think 7 or 8 different teams would have had a legitimate shot at winning it all. I think that's what you'll see next year, making for a really exciting sweet 16.
