Exactly, I just can't see Mason being able to man them. Junk defenses like triangle and 2 and maybe throw the kitchen sink at them as well.

Garrison cannot guard Sloan. I don't know whose gonna win but they have a chance if they have a good inside game and can control the tempo of the game. Good rebounders sometimes gets Q in foul trouble, and it takes away his aggressiveness to the rim. If you can make him a jump shooter the better your chances

Taylor CO is ranked #12 by BGP. Mason is not ranked . Would be a big up set if Mason won. Will be interesting how the sweet 16 teams will be ranked.

Not in the case where a 10th Region team is involved. It happens here all the time. I believe Mason was ranked 10th in the State in 2014 when we (Augusta) beat them in the 1st round of the 39th District.

I think it is important, although minimal, that many coaches are sending Mason Co. tape and scouting info on TC. All of the coaches in the 5th, and many throughout the state, dislike Gatewood and want to make sure he doesn't prevail. That said, I think TC still gets past Mason - Goodin and Sloan are too good. Goodin has to have a bad game in order for TC to lose, and well, Sloan, he doesn't know what a bad game is.

That is the dilemma for Mason. Taylor is most comfortable spreading the floor. They will even go four guards to spread the defense to open up driving lanes for both Goodin and Sloan. You press those two and both can beat you off the dribble, you double team that leaves someone open. It can be a very precarious situation.

No one beats Pig Williams off the dribble!

Thought all coaches had internet access to all games now days?

How many D1 offers does he have? The two guards in question are both D1 guards. Goodin signed with Xavier (currently ranked 5th in the nation) and Sloan has multiple D1 offers and interests. Granted I have not seen Pig play but the other two are not your average guards.

None, but he will be a high level NAIA player. They may not be your average guards, but Pig and Isaiah have the hearts of lions and they show it on the court. If they do their job and Sweeney and D. Williams play their roles I see a closer game than a lot of people are expecting. And a question for you.. Who is TayCo tallest player and how tall is he?

I do not know if Pig is academically qualified, nor do I know anything, at-all about his character. Here is what I know after seeing him play 8 times this year. There is NOT A BETTER DEFENSiVE, SHUTDOWN GUARD in KY!!!!!!! This may be his chance to open D1 eyes. Watch it closely. Think Isaih Briscoe that can hit FTs.

I will venture to say that Sloan will. He is so deceptive, he can "look" totally uninterested in the game and go from to sloth to road runner in a second. Have been watching HS ball for 35 years and have seen maybe 2 faster. He is explosive off the dribble and to the rim, and can bomb from deep. Goodin is good......Sloan is just as good. I am not a TC fan, but I have to respect what is on the court.

Guys lets please try to have an objective discussion here

I think Goodin is their tallest player, but they have a couple guys in the 6-4/6-5 range. They don't have a lot of height. If Mason Co. has some size inside it could cause problems for TC, as long as the Royals can handle the Cardinals' press and finish in transition.

Tallest on the team is a 6'6" senior. You may see him only in the waning moments of the game. He has signed to play college football. Tallest starter is Rafferty at 6'4"

I will venture to say that Sloan will. He is so deceptive, he can "look" totally uninterested in the game and go from to sloth to road runner in a second.

Realreason, you are making this a don't miss game. My competitive juices are flowing. Going to be exciting for a 14 point underdog fan. Go Royals.
