Upset brewing.  Cumberland leads 54-50 with 1:25 to go 3rd quarter.

Adair missing layups and playing very little defense.

Cumberland 60 Adair 52 with the 4th quarter to go.  Adair radio guys indicating just poor energy from Adair.  

64-60 Cumberland.  Bout 4 minutes left

75-692” 2:30 left.

Cumberland wins 82-77.  Congratulations.  Probably their biggest win in recent school history.

Adair better figure out how to play defense and rebound or they will get crushed with their schedule.  

Surprised by this one.

I don't know much about this game other than reading about Adair County being a top ten team in the state and Cumberland County being unranked in the state.

Cumberland County was 18-14 and a region semifinalist last season and they won the All "A" region tournament the year before, so they've been getting better. This still comes as a surprise considering the high preseason ranking for Adair.

Cumberland Co. is a good team, and return almost everyone.  They may be the best threat to Bowling Green/Warren Central powers.  

Cumberland will be competitive this year and should return to the regional tournament in the 4th region but this is still a huge upset and a big victory for them. You can't always put much stock in scrimmages but Marion County, who only won a handful of games last year defeated Cumberland in a scrimmage by 7 a week ago. This sounds to me like Adair overlooked them, expected a fairly easy win and have believed their own hype. Thankfully for the Indians, it's very early in the season, but they have to put this game behind them immediately and figure things out because Taylor County waits for them on Friday night.

Back to Backs can de difficult, and bleeds to what you said overlooking an opponent.
