Would be major upset if the Tigers win. Big guns of Trinity VS the young Tigers.

Trinity leads the state in the number of 3-pointers attempted and in 3-point accuracy. If I'm Coach Klein, this is where I would put my focus on defense. T may have some trouble with X's big man, Kiesler. I would not be surprised to see X play deliberately on offense....which they can likely do because they are always well coached. These rivalry games against X always make me nervous. Go Rocks.

Didn’t know much at all about X until this thread. There’s another Kiesler? Their parents must have gone half-broke feeding that family. They’re all giants. If he’s half as good as the others, he’ll be a handful no matter who they’re playing.

Actually the Rocks are very young. Only 2 seniors.

 

Both teams are led in points and rebounds by Seniors(Scrubb and Keisler) who have very similar stat lines.

Scrubb 19.4/7.1

Keisler 18.1/8.1

 

If X extends to defend the 3, then you open up the middle for penetration. I believe Trinity is the best 3-point shooting team in the state as of last week, so keeping that number down is key. I think X may best be served by having tremendous full court pressure. Trinity has played a difficult schedule and has been tested early in the season. They have one mutual opponent. They played Seneca 4 days apart in early December. Trinity won 70-57, St X lost 62-61. I believe Trinity is the much better team, with better individual players. This however is a rivalry game and anything can happen. Worse case for X is Keisler in early foul trouble. I predict Trinity by 17. Good luck to all.

I think this is really good analysis. Good luck to all.

Trinity's freshmen and JV's have both win their games played at X this week.

Game is sold out. I’d like to see game played at freedom hall.

This one is a bit tricky. Bellermine's Gym is 2,200, not enough space. Freedom Hall is 17,000, a bit much. Broadbent last year was a poor venue for basketball. If they could find a gym that was about 4-5,000 it would be about right.
