Elizabethtown with too much speed and quickness for Knott Central. Rebounds and steals and they were off to the races with baskets on their end. The Panthers will be a tough out.

Whole lot of up and down the floor with quick baskets.  Forced a ton of turnovers.

Next game at 2:00. Just might do that.

Very clean game by E'town. Only committed four fouls and seven turnovers. Conversely, they scored 34 points off 20 KCC turnovers.

KCC coach said in pregame that defense was not their strong point. He wasn't kidding.

So, I am guessing E-town is short and lightning quick.  If the KHSAA website rosters are right, the top 6 kids are 6', 5'9, 5'9, 6'4, 5'10, and 6'1.  Presumably, they are susceptible to a big front line/good rebounding team (also presumably, that's how CovCath handled them so easily?).  I'm not sure if there are any such teams in between E-town and the state finals......

When donkeys fly.

Serious question. Does the NCAA- sized floor benefit a team that plays E-town’s style?

I would think so but I am not an expert here.
