Cov Cath and Newport played back on January 10th in Park Hills and the Colonels won 68-56. How does this one turn out at BB&T Arena on Saturday?

 

Tip-off is at 1:30pm.

Covington Catholic will have presale tickets available in the school office starting on Wednesday. Presale tickets are $8 and tickets purchased at the game will be $10.

I've seen under-manned Newport teams take CovCath to the brink of elimination a couple of times over the last few years at BB&T, and it wouldn't surprise me to see another nail-biter.

Nope, I just don't see it happening this year. CCH in a cake walk.

This will be the most lopsided game of the tournament.

Certainly has a chance to be.

Well Cov Cath should win....but upsets happen. Not sure if this would be the upset I would predict in the 9th Region....but I guess that's why they call it an upset? I feel the 9th Region is Cov Cath's to lose...all the other games are toss-ups with no clear favorite. IMO

26-5 CovCath taking on the 15-14 Newport Wildcats. Please provide updates in this thread.

Newport leads 10-9 after 1. Before the game started CovCath was given a technician foul for "dunking at the free throw line during the warmups"? Not sure exactly what happened but the game started with a 2 point Newport lead.
