Oldham County/Henry County

Anderson County/Walton-Verona

Excellent draw for Oldham County. Not such a good draw for South Oldham. Oldham County should be in the finals vs. Owen County. I had hoped South Oldham could stay away from Owen County, but I had a bad feeling. Too much Carson Williams in that one for South Oldham.

The Simon Kenton/Collins game should be a very good one. Walton vs. Anderson County is a even game as well. Henry County will have the home floor, but Oldham County is going to be very difficult to beat if they play defense like they did against South Oldham on Friday night.

I hope South is on fire

South Oldham will need to make at least 15 three-pointers to have a chance at beating Owen County. They have the shooters to do it as they have proven many times this season. My concern is that Carson Williams will have 45 points and 20 rebounds in that game. South Oldham's best chance will be forcing Owen County into a fast-paced game on Henry County's floor. I think more possessions could mean possible foul trouble for Carson. Great matchup as two teams with different styles go at it in the first round. Any game times yet?

The South Oldham-Owen County game is at 7:45.

How many 3s did south make at Owen?

Go Rebels! Hope to see yall at Rupp.

South Oldham was 11 of 30 against Owen County from threes in first meeting and still lost. That's why I say 15 three-pointers at least this Wednesday if South Oldham is to somehow pull off the upset.

South went 11/30, which is right at their average for the year.

Owen won the rebounding battle 40-16.

No idea what the turnover stats were.

I havent seen them every game, but it seems Owen has more problems in slower paced, half court, lower possession games (i.e Murray at the All-A Classic).

They actually did not have problems in the game against Murray. Murray just hit some unbelievable shots late to win it. South Oldham is a completely different type of team than Murray and playing slow-down is not suited to their interests. If you go uptempo on Owen County, it forces Carson Williams to have to defend more drives to the basket, more chances at drawing fouls on him. South Oldham has a couple of players who attack the rim very well. The more possessions, the more times Carson and the other big kid for Owen County might have to slide over and try to defend the basket. Just an opinion. My prediction is Owen County 71, South Oldham 63.

Well, since they lost the game....they did have problems. The game had fewer possessions, which allowed the game to probably be closer than it would be at a more conventional pace. Which, in turn, allowed it to come down to a couple of threes late, including the game winner.

 

And, I understand South's style and that means more defensive possessions for Carson and Dunaway, but I still say Owen welcomes more uptempo than a slower game.

1 possession game at their place.
