Thoughts / Predictions?

This one should be a barnburner. Buckhorn plays very very well at home and hard to beat when their at the Horn. Cordia just got their transfers eligible. I'll take Buckhorn at home by 2. 61-59

I'll take Cordia by a bucket.

Ummm...you got to think Cordia should win just on raw talent alone over Buckhorn if nothing else. I know the first game was very close, but I'm gonna say Cordia by 8+.

Buckhorn will be difficult to beat at home but if Cordia has their two big kids now eligible that's going to give their 6'10 freshman a lot of interior help, and with Cunningham running the show it may be enough to pull out a win at The Horn. But the Wildcats play well at home, are well coached, and have a very passionate fan base. It won't be easy for the Lions.

I think Cordia is ready for this one and have probably taken Buckhorn's best shot. Since then, Cordia has probably gelled with the kids they have playing together.

 

They've also apparently added two more big, talented kids that will be a load for a small school like Buckhorn sheerly because of their size.

 

Cordia by 15.

I hate to miss this game, it's only an 18 mile drive from where I live to Buckhorn, but I have to be elsewhere tonight. This should be one of the better All A games tonight. I believe Cordia will pull it out by around 10 points. Their size will probably cause Buckhorn problems. However, Cunningham and the other guards had better not be lax with the ball, Coach Noble's kids will hound them the entire game. There's no quit in the Wildcats.

I agree with this. Buckhorn is never an easy place to leave with a win. This Cordia team does have a lot of talent though, and should be enough to pull out the victory. If you remember Buckhorn played Cordia close in the Jungle earlier this year so you can never tell. My prediction, Cordia by 12 but wont surprise one bit to see Buckhorn pull out the win, Noble does a good job winning these type games.
