1st Round matchups according to the KHSAA website, but if you look closely at the bracket you will see that it is all messed up, so it's questionable whether or not these are accurate. The times and bracket positions are out of whack and I have nothing to compare it to for accuracy.

This tournament is going to be amazing.

Wednesday afternoon games are accurate.

Will all games be on Ihigh like in the past? Is there a link? Thanks

Not sure. If I had to guess you may be able to watch them for a price. I do know that BGP will be providing up to the second updates of every game.

Murray's first trip in 31 years.

Owenboro Catholic's first trip ever

Lawrence County's first trip ever

Buckhorn's 3rd trip in its history, and first since '89

 

Sure there's a lot of familiar faces like Mason County, Trinity, and Christian County, but it's also good to see that there are a handful of Cinderella's making the dance as well.

 

The Sweet 16 never fails to be exciting, and this one seems to be no exception.

This is going to be a great tournament!

The Guru provided this info the other day:

 

There is info on how you can watch, but unfortunately this year it looks like it will cost you.

 

However you can listen free.

Interestingly, 5 "All-A" teams made the State tournament, but 3 of those teams lost in the first round of their All-A Region tournaments.

It might be time to classify basketball. The big schools don't have much of a chance! :lol2:

The state set the game times this year. I guess to help with crowds.

Ihigh went out of business a few years ago.

I think the winner comes from the group of Dunbar, Bowling Green, Christian County, Taylor County or Trinity with Mercer county being the dark horse.

 

I picked Dunbar in early December and I'm sticking with that pick. I think when all teams play their best, Dunbar is No. 1. They play Mercer County in the first round which is a difficult matchup for both teams. That's why I made Mercer a dark horse. If they get past that first one, they're in the mix.

I agree, Dunbar wins it all. Their trio of star players is fantastic & the supporting cast brings additional size & speed.

If Dunbar wins it, they will deserve it. Likely will have to beat Mercer Co., Bowling Green, & Trinity to get out of their bracket.
