That's the great thing about opinions, yours is no better than mine. Again, in my opinion just because Dunbar won it all does not mean they were the best team. Duke won the NCAA last year, but no way were they the best team in the country. Just saying.

 

Truth.

Thank God they don't play the game on paper.

:rolleyes:

After having seen some of these teams play multiple times and others only seeing them at Rupp, ranking them after the State Tourney.

 

1. Mercer County - I still think this was the best team in the State, unfortunately they gave one away when it counted the most.

 

2. Bowling Green - This was the second best team in the State, and just as Mercer, they gave one away when it counted the most.

 

3. Dunbar - Although they won, can't deny that, very good team they were the recipients of some fortunate breaks, which a team has to have to win it all, but not the best team in my opinion.

 

4. Christian County - What a time to have a bad game in the Sweet 16, but this was one of the top 4 if not the top 2 teams in the tourney.

 

5. Newport Catholic - was very impressed with this team, and could have very well be playing on Sunday as well.

 

6. Trinity - All it takes is one bad shooting performance and you get beat. But over the course of the season this team was very good.

 

7. South Laurel - This team was better than I expected. The big boy inside is nice.

 

8. Taylor County - Was a much better team in Lexington than I seen around Christmas Time.

 

9. Doss - Still can't believe this team made it to Sunday.

 

10. Lawrence County - Better than I thought

 

11. Mason County - Wish I had got to see this team at full strength

 

12. South Oldham - Again one bad shooting night and your done.

 

13. Owensboro Catholic - This team was much better than they shown at Rupp

 

14. Murray - Lucky to get out of the 1st

 

15. Elliott County - How bad was the 16th region?

 

16. Buckhorn - Good thing every region has to have a representative.

 

15th Region is always better than what people think. Ive been saying for years that basketball in this region is solid and we always send a good representative to Rupp.

How many of the other 15 schools in the Sweet 16 could endure Dunbar's schedule!? From tournaments, to showcase games, to district games, to region games, to the gauntlet that was placed in front of them in the state tournament. Nothing was giving to the Bulldogs, they earned it and at times had to go out and take it. Say what you want, when the smoke clears, they're still the champs!

Yes they are and yes they sure did earn it..to me the purpose of the post was that it was a shame that PLD-Mercer-BG had to play each other in the first two rounds....hands down they were the top 3and once it got to the 3rd round i think the suspense was over...i bet u KHSAA would say the same thing if they could.
