McCracken County vs. Russell Updates (Girls' Sweet 16®)

[16thBBall Fan]

This is the 1:30pm game. McCracken is a good team as is Russell. McCracken has a RPI of .66827 compared to Russell's .64582. They do have a common opponent in Cooper who is representing the 9th region in the state tournament. Russell lost by 14 at Cooper in mid-December and defeated McCracken 4 days later by 12 on a neutral court. I will be rooting for the 16th region representative. It should be a very good game.

This one tips in just about 45 minutes should be another good one.
