Who:  North Oldham (12-5) vs. Lloyd Memorial (6-3)

When:   Saturday, 1/7/23    Tipoff at 6 pm

Where:  North Oldham HS, Goshen, KY

Broadcast:  Free, live, hi-def video coverage starts at 5:30 pm ET on www.pegasussportsky.com

North Oldham has 5 of its last 6; Lloyd Memorial has won three in a row.   Something has to give tomorrow night in Goshen as the two teams meet for the first time in the two programs' history.

North just scraped by on Tuesday, sneaking past a scrappy Seneca team, 65-64, on a last-second offensive putback by Luke Anderson, who finished with 12 points and 9 rebounds.   Dallas Roberts had 29 to lead the Mustangs.     The win kicked off a four-game home stand (prior to the Seneca game, North had been home for only 4 of 16 games).   After LM, North will face Dixie Heights next Tuesday (live coverage on www.pegasussportsky.com) and Meade County at home on the 13th.

Lloyd - wo will face Holmes on the road on Friday the 6th, the night before this game - took out a gritty Beechwood squad, 61-53, on Tuesday night behind 26 points and 11 rebounds from Jeremiah Isreal, who spent practically all night at the line:   He hit a whopping 14 of 16 free throws.   Isreal is averaging 20.9 ppg and 8.9 rebounds.   This will be the third game in a six game road trip for LM, which started with the Beechwood win.

 

North by a bunch.

I'm inclined to agree, but I haven't seen LM this year.    I understand they have two D1-caliber kids, but do they have the supporting cast?  As North found out Tuesday night against Seneca, sometimes one player can ruin the party (see House's 31 points for Seneca on Tuesday, a game won by North on a buzzer-beating putback)
 

They haven't played nearly as many games as North, or as stiff of a schedule, so one would think North is further along in their development this year...  Could it be that Lloyd simply hasn't stretched their legs yet?

I'm really curious to see the Juggernauts.    

Early game (tip at 6 pm).   Pegasus is on air at 5:30 pm.

For some reason Lloyd didn't have a game scheduled until Wednesday of the second week of the season.  The Israel kid has signed with NKU, time will tell how that plays out, he's a senior. The Walker kid is a sophomore, about 6'6", has a D1 body, but imo has a long way to go in his development to become a D1 player.  Again just my opinion and time will tell.

I agree with the sentiment about EJ, he has to develop a go to game. He’s kind of a tweener, I don’t know if he is athletic enough for the wing position at that level. But he isn’t big enough to play a big either, great player and will play at that level. Just would love to watch his game develop into a high level D1 kid he has the body that’s forsure.

Walker is a sophomore with a high drive and a strong work ethic to be special. He has multiple big 10 offers already and by the time he is a senior he will be the biggest recruit in 9th region history.

I highly doubt that he will be the biggest recruit in 9th region history.
