Mason co may very well lose their next game. But what I find astonishing is how some of the 'homers' on here refuse to acknowledge what a nice team mason has.

I want get into their entire resume' but look at a very few facts:

2015 placed in final 4 of state tournament

2016 they have posted a 27 - 3 record of which is also against a sos of top 30

 

My question for the people on here bashing them and saying we are better is how? Give me one of your teams that can top the above two bullets.

 

Now I realize they may very well lose. E-town lost last year and I can say they would honestly have beaten HC 8 out of 10 games but that particular game wasn't meant to be. Anyone can lose and I sure don't think mason is on any hot streak so from what I'm hearing is your teams (cc and Scott) should role thru them. That's a lot of pressure on your respective teams because if the good mason shows up believe me you have your hands full.

And I have said nothing and will say nothing against them in the least. They have had an amazing season and made an amazing run last year. Take nothing away from thier accomplisments. And they are still the favorite.

 

But I don't think for a second they took Bracken or Bourbon lightly. I do however think the Campbell defeat laid out a road map on how to play against them, which I also believe Bracken and Bourbon were able to follow.

 

In the end no matter what happens in the rest of the 10th Region I look for some great basketball to be played both Friday and Saturday night.

I think you just put a whole lot of pressure on Scott's coaching staff and players.

 

If Scott played them close previously, then logic tells me that since Campbell cnty gave everyone a blueprint for success then maybe it should be a walk in the park?

 

I know you will back away from that but in essence that is what is being said

@RaginRoyal21 still see them running through region?

 

I don't believe I ever said they would but if you say I did maybe I did. But yes, the region is theirs to lose. One bad game doesn't change that.

Excuse me, it was @MasonCoRoyal stating: "You could call me a homer but Mason should run through the region... talent, sweet sixteen final four experience, great coach. what does this team not have? go Royals!"

Someone summed it up in the other thread. If MC plays like they did against BC they will lose. If they hit their open shots and play hard-nosed defense they will win.

 

Personally I don't think MC can consistently play a half court battle with SH and win. IMO they need to create points off of turnovers and push the pace of the game.

Good assessment!

Don't see why that puts any pressure on Scott's coaching staff. And nope not backing away at all.
