After what will be nearly two weeks off due to games being rescheduled and postponed due to the flu, Ashland will visit @zebraman's number two team in the region this coming Tuesday (2/11).

 

So what are everyone's thoughts? Will the Tomcats continue to roll or will the two weeks off have them out of shape/practice? Or is Rowan County just the better team playing at home?

 

Who wins and why?

Figured I'd give this one a few days before I bumped it back up. In my opinion this one could go either way but I feel like the Vikings hand the Tomcats their first loss of the season.

 

Rowan has been playing really well and their inside presence will likely cause Ashland some problems early in the game. With nearly two weeks between games I'm not sure Ashland can overcome a slow start in this one. For Ashland to get the win in this one they're gonna have to come out playing like they were in the AIT and I just don't see that happening.

I think Ashland wins by single digits but it won’t come easy. They’ll have 12 days between games and there will probably be some rust. Also they’ve had a few nagging injuries, most notably a sprained ankle to Bradley a week or so back. He’s a very important spoke in their wheel.

I have Rowan beating Ashland. If the Vikings can't win at home on their 9'10" rims and Ashland on a two week break, they'll never beat them.

Could go either way, but if Rowan County wins it will be by 5 or less. If Ashland wins it will be by 5 to 15. I'm going with Ashland by 10.

Ashland still isn't 100%, even with the time off. It's hard to tell how much that will effect this game at the moment but I feel like Rowan gets the win.

Agreed, Ashland's not 100% but there are several players who can step up for them and take up the slack. I look forward to see how they play tonight.

At least one starter out. Another player will likely see limited minutes. Hard to tell who wins this one. If you can't tell I wouldn't be disappointed with Ashland picking up a loss prior to the tournaments hah. This is the perfect game for that to happen.

Definitely a recipe for a loss.

Final Ashland by 6.
