Predictions for tonight's match-up between two teams in the top 5 of the 12th Region?

I will give live updates at the end of each quarter in this thread.

I think this is gonna be a good game, I haven’t got to watch Lincoln play yet this year but they are always tough, especially at home.  West had some struggles with turnovers in the first 3 games but have started to play well together in the last 2 games with all 5 starters averaging double figures. West will have to  speed the game up and get out on their shooters to get the win I think, should be a great game. I’ll go West Jess 63-60

I'm excited to see this game as well. Speeding Lincoln up is a difficult thing to do as we all know. If West can do it, Lincoln could definitely be in trouble because they aren't very deep and fast play correlates to fouls in the high school game, unfortunately. This is definitely a 12th region tournament sneak-peek.

On paper Lincoln should win, but I don't think they have played up to expectations.  I'll take West Jess in a close one.
