CentreRocks Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Who wins the game? I'm looking forward to seeing Trinity's Sophomore Josh Sewell and Madisonville's Junior Jon Hood go at it.
Lion Mania Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Madisonville by 3. I have not even seen Jon Hood, but he must be impressive to have offers from UK, Georgia, and Tennessee among others as only a Junior. Until about 4 weeks ago this guy was not even on the radar screen for fans in Central Kentucky. They probably have to get to Rupp this year, because besides Hood they are a senior dominated team.

gymrat94 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Who wins the game? I'm looking forward to seeing Trinity's Sophomore Josh Sewell and Madisonville's Junior Jon Hood go at it. Go at it? Was a one-sided show, with Hood sharing the ball and not forcing the action. Can't say the same for Sewell. 24 vs 7 in scoring with Sewell taking as many, if not more, shots than Hood. Seems to me that Sewell always takes the majority of shots for Trinity, rarely has double figures and Chambless is the leading scorer at the end of the game.? The game plan never changes though.? Another opinion Trinity fans?
thsrocks Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Simple, two 6'7" guys with some ability will usually win out over a shorter squad. If Robey had chosen to play basketball, the Rocks would have a much better record. Many of the better basketballers chose to attend other schools. There are several reasons including the slow down style Trinity plays. Of course the Rocks play at a slower pace because Mr. Szabo may not have the horses to run. Jefferson County is blessed with several outstanding basketball coaches and the kids can choose where they go for the most part. Sounds like it was closer than expected.

Jefferson County is blessed with several outstanding basketball coaches and the kids can choose where they go for the most part. Sounds like it was closer than expected. Good point about Robey, if he had chosen to play for Desales then they would prob be undefeated also, right? How do they win with a 1/3 of the talent Trinity has? They don't have two big guys? At some point, get past Robey not playing and use what you have. Sewell (top 100 soph), Chambless (3 yr starter), Tierney (2 yr starter), Kupper (6'5", 2 yr starter), Little (athletic swingman), Epley (transfer who can shoot the 3). 8 losses. All of a sudden a new offense is incorporated this year and Sewell (who will be an excellent player, but not there yet) touches the ball on every trip down the floor. Kupper gets very little touches in the post, very little screens for shooters or pick & rolls ran and the "one-on-one" offense begins. Typical game: Trinity gets down early (usually scores 8 points in the 1st quarter), battles back, has a terrible 3rd quarter, gets down by 13 in the 4th, hits a few shots in the last 3 minutes to make it respectable and loses by 5,6,7 points consistantly. Maybe I am way offbase, but that is my take.

gymrat94 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 What makes Sewell a top 100 player nationally? You mean what skills? Based on his summer performances he, Euton and Jackson are in the top 100 from Ky from their class.
tcjkbt Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Don't know for sure but probably not tough enough.

Desales just beat Madisonville easily, have you seen them? Without Robey or much athleticism. THSROCK, hope you are not part of the ball program at Trinity or you guys will never beat a team with 2 good size guys with your theory and your 2nd paragraph is bogus as well.
