McCreary Central enters this game winning 12 of their last 15 games, including 4 straight. Lincoln, ranked #1 region by most papers, picked up their first region loss to Boyle County at home and play at Madison Central on the 27th. The Raiders snapped a five game losing streak to Southwestern Friday night and the previous Friday won at East Jessamine. Lincoln beat East at home earlier this year by 20. McCreary was an underdog in their Southwestern and East Jessamine games and came away with wins, but this is an extremely harder task for the Raiders.

 

My brain says Lincoln County 70-55.

My heart, and good shooting by the Raiders, says McCreary 70-66.

^^^^

I think and hope the Raiders can keep it close, but i think Lincoln will be too much... Lincoln 72 McCreary 58

Lincoln Co. 67-60.

Lincoln Co will win big. 15+ points.

You did pick East Jessamine 10+ over McCreary... I hope you're wrong again, but I have a feeling you probably won't be. :(

 

Lincoln Co. 67-60.

 

You picked Southwestern over McCreary by four at McCreary and E. Jessamine by 13 over the Raiders...

I just hope you all don't have a good night of projecting winners.

Just going with my predictions.

I'll take Lincoln Co. at home 72-65.

I'll take Lincoln Co. at home 72-65.

 

I am never happy with a loss, but a 7-point loss @ #1 team in the region should only help in the tournament.

I am picking the patriots to win by 10 in this one, they will be without Noah Keeton, and point guard ryan young.

SSF I hope I am wrong also. I would like to see McCreary win. The McCreary/ East game suprised me because it was at East. I just think Lincoln is the top dog plus they are playing at home.

 

Good Luck to you all tonight

A good effort win or lose certainly won't hurt come tourney time. McCreary already has a big road win at East and with the region being so wide open anything could happen, both at Lincoln and the rest of the way.

I heard Young wasn't playing for Lincoln. If that is the case they will really struggle with McCreary. He is their main ballhandler. Without him Overstreet will have to move to point. Don't be surprised by a McCreary victory tonight. (but then again don't get to excited about it because I don't think they can beat Lincoln with Young)

Where is Young?

 

Expect big things out of McCreary Central point guard Adam Swiger. He was 6-8 in threes for 20 points at Oneida, and came back with 4-5 threes in a win against Southwestern for 17 points.

 

I'll be at the game tonight!

So, it might be a while, maybe tomorrow, if I update on how McCreary played.
