? ? | Round 1 of the Louisville Invitational Tournament at Valley Station.

Both teams are now 12-4. The No. 4 seed Bears advance to Thursday's 7:45 quarterfinal vs. Eastern / Seneca.

I was at the game, Dubois was down 21 at half. They tied it up late with like 20seconds to go. Dubois turned it over and refs missed a blatant Butler travel at mid court. The same player  was fouled shortly after. He hit one of two foul shots and Dubois didn't have enough time to get a shot off.  It was a one point Butler win. That score is incorrect.

Sounds like you saw a great game. Thank you for the follow-up. The OP score was what I read on the Riherds Scoreboard yesterday, and owl things considered, it has since been corrected there, here, and in the LIT thread.

My neighbors son two doors down starts for Dubois. His little brother passed away last year, and I got to know a few of those Dubois folks because we helped with the funeral etc. They are really fine folks. I live in the South end of Louisville and I have friends who`s kids played for Butler in the past. I had mixed emotions on the game but was pulling for Dubois. It was a great game! Both teams played so hard.

Eastern/Seneca is going to be a war! Eastern has those quality bigs , and Seneca just picks you up from the locker room and tries to suffocate you. I think both coaches are very very good at what they do. I think the keys to the game will be how Eastern guards handle Seneca`s intense pressure. If they can handle the pressure and get it inside, Seneca will have its hands full. If Seneca can turn Eastern and turn it into a foot race they will win.  I like Seneca in a close one here.
