How strong is the 11th this year :scared: Lex. Cath., Scott Co., & Bryan Station are all top 5 IMO.

 

Bad thing is that only one of them will make the trip to Rupp.

To early to peak,??? I thought you play hard and try and win every game, The King Boy played well and Im sure Mason will rebound , But bench play was a major roll once again

 

Yes, you try to win every game. But what he is trying to say is that now is not the time to be playing your best. It's okay to have a few off games, like Mason has been having, and then peak in tournament time, when it's for all the marbles, so to speak. It's better to be playing your best ball in March, not January.

11th region tournament could be as entertaining as sweet 16 this year.

Peaking means that you're playing the absolute best you can play with what you have on your roster. I agree that it is too early to be peaking. That needs to come in February and March.

I heard Middleton and Setty had been sick all week and didn't start because they weren't able to come to practice???

You do play hard and try to win every game. But every team peaks at some point during the season, by peak I mean the point in the season when you are playing your best basketball. Nobody wants that time to be mid January.

Yes, both have been sick.

This was the worst overall game I have seen from the Royals in a long, long, time. Yes, Darius got into foul trouble. Yes, Trevor and Russ were recovering from illness. Yes, Mason Co was short their 6th or 7th man. Yes, they shot the ball extremely bad from the free throw line. Add all that together, and Mason Co has several excuses. But there are no excuses for a game like that.

 

With the exception of a few players, I feel like Mason Co showed a lack of heart. They didn't seem like they wanted it. At times, they were very selfish and seemed like they didn't even care.

 

Don't get me wrong, Mason Co. has all the potential in the world. When they are playing at their best I believe that they are the number one team in the state and the most talented team in the state. But they aren't showing it. They run no offense what-so-ever and just try to take their man one on one. That doesn't work against good, well coached (as much as I hate to say it) teams like Scott Co. They were outcoached and simply outplayed.

 

Luckily, this was just a regular season game. In the big scheme of things it means nothing. NOTHING matters until tournament time. There is still pleanty of time for the Royals and Coach O'Hearn to right the ship. You have the whole city of Maysville behind you guys, show us what you can do and make us proud. We know you can do it and you know you can do it. Step it up! Show the state who wears the Crown!

What was the crowd like?

I heard it was packed!

He's the best in the state IMO.

 

:laugh:

What was the crowd like?

 

It was a normal crowd for a big game like this. Not packed but there were alot of people there. It isn't packed unless the seats on the stage are open and they were not for this game.

First I want to let everyone know that I am not a Scott County fan or Mason County fan but how come when Mason County loses its because people are sick and their star was on the bench in foul trouble. As to the sickness, something you can't control, but FOULS are something Darius did do and commit. So, its his fault he ws in foul trouble right? Give credit where credit is due. Why always make excuses?

 

I will go on the record and say this. I still believe Mason Co. is the best team in the state. Tonight they may not have played like the best team in the state, but I can tell you this, watch out come March...

This is at least 3 in a row where Scott Co. tops Mason... 2 on Mason's home floor.
