Predictions?

Knott County Central by a lot...

 

Anyone know if Muhlenberg County is making a return trip to Hindman next season?

Knott is making a 14 hour, two day trip. They played four games in five days at Myrtle Beach, did not go home, and have been living on a big yellow school bus. The bus driver only knows one note, a constant blowing of his own horn. Knott is staying in Cookeville tonight and will be without the services of their coach, B. B. King, who is in the hospital with a number 9 broken rib and bruised lung. Who knows what Knott will bring to this game? They shouldn't have anything left but heart, which they have a big yellow bus load of. We will see them in Hazard on Tuesday. Good luck, Patriots! Go Ben!

I think Knott Co is good enough that they win this one on talent alone, but I can't imagine they will play well. It will probably be a lot closer than a matchup between these two teams should be.

 

Is there any special reason for this game? It seems like a poor scheduling decision unless there is some underlying reason for the trip.

Scheduling this game now is confusing to me.

Henderson started only one started vs these guys and by the time the starters got in it was a 15 pt lead. A freshman had a career high 15 pts and 12 came in first half. Should be a easy win.

It's difficult to defeat the host team in their holiday tournament. Knott should win but one never knows. Get a couple of key players on the bench early with some ticky-tack fouls and it could even the playing field somewhat. I've seen it happen too many times in these out-of-region invitational tournaments.

Can anyone tell me if there will be any radio coverage being sent out over the Internet? Thanks!
