11th Region Tournament, first round game from the Frankfort Civic Center. Who wins, by how much, and why?

Two city schools square off. Henry Clay has been on a roll and it would be a mistake for Lafayette to take them lightly at all. This game will be a war.

Maybe a better question for this one would be whether or not everyone thinks Lafayette might have peaked too soon? If you are of the opinion that they weren't as good as some (like me) thought to begin with, then why did you feel that way? That shouldn't be taken to mean that you are wrong or that I was right, but instead, just asking for an explanation as to why you felt as you did.

Lafayette 65-61.

Jackson is playing outstanding right now. If he stays out of foul trouble, then give me Lafayette.

 

If he gets in foul trouble and Jordan Green has a good shooting night, could be a doozy.

Here's the skinny...I've said it all year long that guard play and perimeter shooting can be (and has been) the achilles heels for the Generals. Lafayette plays all 32 minutes the same...evidence by Harrison Lane taking a 3 with a minute to go in regulation in the district final. They also had key turnovers at the wrong times...as has been the case in their losses. Henry Clay must handle the pressure and score in transition. The two best players in the 11th will be in prime time. The Henry Clay guards and Davis are the keys. HC has no one who can handle Davis so how will the Blue Devils defend him? Double team? Zone? Game plan will be interesting because Lafayette will do the same thing they always do. Clay must handle the pressure...if not, as they haven't in their first two matchups, then the Generals move on. If so, it is anyone's game.

Does anyone know if this game will be streaming anywhere? I've been busy with work and haven't gotten to check on any links yet.

Lafayette hasn't been playing well lately. I have Lafayette winning in the poll but I would not be surprised at all to see Henry Clay win this game.

Lafayette offense goes through J. Davis and no one else. Neutrelized Davis and the Devils win.

I dont think many teams have succeeded in nuetralizing Davis without a little help from fouls. The kid is averaging like 25 pts and 15 reb or something crazy like that.
