Hmmm.....Lincoln County beat Boyle County by 20 points on February 27.

 

And...

LexCath beat Boyle by 18 ON Dec 29th. I think LexCath will be favored by more than you are expecting. I know the situation of the 4 games in 4 days, but that is how that Sweet 16 is set up as well. I think the game will be closer than 18, I hope the 12th region advances, but I saw this matchup in December and it was never close.

 

The game was never close, that is certainly true. However, it would be unfair to completely overlook what each team had faced the previous three days. LexCath had played Betsy Layne on Friday (out in the first round of District) and Casey County on Sunday (out in first round of Region). Boyle County had played Bryan Station on Friday (11th Region Runner Up), Covington Catholic on Saturday (9th Region Champ), and Apollo on Sunday (Region semi-finalist).

And BoCo will have to complete a similiar task to make a run at Rupp. It was a tough stretch of games, I was there, they impressed me with those first two games.

I stand corrected. They are still potentially and issue in the top half of the bracket. IMO

 

Not trying to pick on you but Jefferson didn't play against Dunbar and they still should have won that game. Doss threw it away at the end. When they have his size and athleticism to go with their pressure defense they are tough. Doss may get more deflections and hands in passing lanes than any team I've watched all season.

 

I do completely agree about them being a threat on the top half though, or entire tournament if they make it.

 

I've seen Doss and Williamsburg each a couple of times and if this is the matchup I wouldn't expect it to be very close. I've been wrong a lot, so it could be. In fact I'd like it to be, it is always fun to root for the small schools that make it to Rupp.

Not before they play Lexington Catholic, which is the matchup being discussed.

And...

 

And don't let past results lull you into false beliefs. Past results from two weeks ago don't hold true let alone from December. I hope LexCath thinks like you do.

Just ask Oldham County and Lincoln County they both just lost to teams who they beat by 20.

I did say I expected this game to be much closer than the 18 point game in December, so don't sway away from that. I was stating that based on the previous matchup, I believe LexCath will be favored by more than MentschTrachtGottLacht was predicting. Futhermore, I have no doubt LexCath will not be thinking like me, they will be prepared, as will Boyle.

Lincoln County had also last by 23 or 25 to Boyle earlier. So Not many could have predicted 20 point blowouts by two equally matched teams.

I hope LexCath is expected to be a huge winner against Boyle County next Thursday.
