Dixie beat Conner in the opening game of the season 57-46 and then 57-42 in the Kenton Co tournament midway through the tournament.

 

Can Dixie beat Conner 3 times or will the Cougars pull the slight upset on their home floor?

Im going with my boys from Conner 57-52. Two words Jim Hicks.

Conner by 6 in the upset.

I believe with Dixie being healthy for this game they pull out the W by around 5-10.

Connor by 7

Dixie by 2

Conner by 4.

Conner needs above average performances from 3-4 guys beyond Thomas and Pugh - similar to what they got in the Boone game. When they don't get that - such as the St. H. game - it's going to be tough for them. Even at home, I just don't see them putting together another performance like Boone, so I'll go with Dixie by 8.

Would someone give the Jim Hicks resume that makes his team such a tough out come tournament time?

See Covcath in 05 when Conner knocked them off on their home floor when Covcath was #1. I believe they also beat Holmes (#2 at the time) in OT to end the regular season in OT that year as well. (?) Also Hicks has had his team in the district championship the past 3 years despite being the underdog each year.

Dixie by 10.

Regional history:

2003 didn't make region tourney

2004 lost first round

2005 lost in finals

2006 lost in first round

2007 lost in first round

I don't understand the tough out comment either.

Although the region tournament history doesn't show it, Jim Hicks always has Conner ready for tournament time. Just look back to '05 when Conner upset Cov Cath who was then #1. Although they have not made it far in the tournament, they always give teams very tough games.

The 05 team had more horses than this Conner team does. Lets not forget about that.

The 05 team also knocked off #2 Holmes in OT at Holmes.
