Congrats Rockets.

Didn't think this would happen especially at McCreary Central.

Couldn't attend the game tonite, but heard that Watts had a poor game. I also heard that Swiger, Phillips, and Wright are sick. Is this true? Did they play?

 

I wasn't able to attend the game either but I had heard Watts may have the flu. I don't think Phillips was a 100% from an illness early last week, not to mention the hard fall he took during the LC game. I hadn't heard anything about Swiger or Wright but there seems to be a lot of absences in the schools due to illness. The word from most people that did attend the game was, Rob Jones didn't do a lot of coaching, he sat on the bench most of the time. They felt like the team didn't have a leader. I wasn't there so this is not my opinion, its just a few things I heard.

Watts just didn't show up. Phillips didn't play like himself either. Swiger, Lay, Roark, and the defense of Hale helped McCreary lead nearly the entire game. McCreary had three straight possesions where Watts turned it over each time and acted like he didn't care.

 

Jones didn't do much of a coaching job either. The layup that won the game could have easily been prevented. Keep one person on the inbounds to make sure they can't roll the ball, and then keep everyone back to make sure they don't get to the basket or an open shot.

Your strategy worked real well when UK played Duke a few years ago.

I guess Lincoln is the favorite again

I forgot to mention that this happened and Rockcastle was without their starting PG. :eek:

Did you have to bring that up? We usually don't have to see or think about that until the NCAA Tourney each year.
