DeSales vs. Covington Catholic Predictions/Updates

[Runcible Owl]

🟤 vs. 🔵 The Colts have traveled almost two hours for tonight's game with the Colonels. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30. Please post predictions and updates here.

• DeSales features not only the  frontcourt play of the Gibson brothers, Crew and William, but a strong guard trio of Brady Cummins, Tyler Klein, and Julian Bunton. 

• Does Cov Cath open with a "big" lineup - Colin Detzel, Aiden Jones, with Evan Ipsaro, Brady Hussey, and Kascyl McGillis? 

• Cov Cath (19-2 BGP #2) won the last game these two played, at DeSales (January '22), 68-22.

• DeSales (15-8) has spent much of the season ranked in the BGP Top 20. They've played one of the toughest schedules (Massey Rankings, SoS #4) in the state.

🤔 The score from the last meeting, in the OP, was in 2021, and the score was 68-62 CCH.

I would love to see the Colts pull of the upset, but I'm afraid Cov-Cath is just going to be too much for them to handle. In order to pull off the upset the Colts would have to have an outstanding night behind the arc, cut down on turnovers, and shoot at least 80% from the free-throw line.  Possible, but not likely.
