Your correct... It was the Red Colonels third time they beat Conner this year. Hicks is a great coach though, he had a great game plan the Triangle and 2 really bothered the Colonels offense. Lawson only had 2 points and Kendall had 12

 

Just curious, if they packed it in with a tight 2-3, do you think the outcome would've been different? I'd say almost all of Dixie's points came from within 10 feet of the bucket outside of the 2 threes as they just weren't able to knock down the outside jumper.

Dixie missed A LOT of jumpers. I think had Conner packed it in a 2-3 zone it could have made a difference. Why Hicks didn't do this as Dixie was ice cold from outside of the paint still puzzles me.

If you watch the game close Hicks always had a guy on Kendall who would help a little, then a guy on Lawson who didnt help off at all. The other 3 were close enough to the lane to try and cover Mace. Mace hit many shots tonight that he usually struggles with. For the 2-3 zone they tried that the first game they played and Lawson shot them out of it. That is why he went with the game plan he had. His game plan worked out just couldnt pull it out at the end. This game was closer due to the D they were playing and all the quick hitters they were running.

The shot of the game may have been Mitch Boese's 3 pointer to end the 3rd qtr. Conner had completely dominated the quarter but his 3 brought Dixie back to about 5 or 6 points. Huge shot.

Hicks did make that adjustment in the 1st after Mace score 8 points. 44 sagged off of Kendall to help double Mace. I was disappointed to see Chevalier not counter that move. Instead, he kept Kendall down low, which allowed 44 to stay down there. Plus, with Kendall not hitting the outside jumper, 44 could stay home. Hicks got away from that at the end and Mace took advantage again scoring 6 quick ones. I just think regardless of the last game, if a team is cold, you pack it in and force them to beat you from the outside. If the outside shots start falling, then get out of the zone. Granted, I wanted Dixie to win, I was just baffled by the coaching decisions during the game by both teams.

Thats right they did sag of Kendall after the Mace went of real fast. I can understand why Chevalier didnt go to Kendall. He only had 6 points in districts against 2 teams who are not very good. He has been struggling and I would think it would be to big of a game to go to someone who is in a slump. I really dont think Dixie was cold last night. They didnt shoot many three's at all (maybe 10) The best shooter they have only took one 3 point shot and missed it. So I liked how Hicks coached the game just only having Thomas to go to at the end killed them. But I would pack it in if a team was cold but again dont think Dixie even really shoot outside.

10 3's in one game is actually a lot my man. Dixie was missing everything both inside and out, other than Mace.

Congrats to Dixie Heights on the win.
