Here's a great little lesson for you that I've watched many time - any team is beatable on any given night. I wouldn't be so confident until I saw my team cutting the nets down.

Saw this a couple of years ago....don't plan the party yet....

Exactly. The tournaments are a whole new season.

Both defenders that he shot over stood there with their arms straight up and made no attempy to block the shot and made no contact...it was clearly not a foul. There will be highlights from the game tonight on channel 12 news sports.

 

10th region officials.

 

Very bad call... You let the kids determine the game and swallow the whistle in a case like this... If you foul someone it should be called but they completely missed that one...

ER...I'm not sure if it's the lack of BB knowledge, or the fact that some just want to root against Holmes, or a como of both. There is so much more that goes into a good basketball game, or any sport for that matter. Just because a Team seems unbeatable on some nights, doesn't mean your going to blow out Teams every night, especially here in N.Ky. Holmes was pushed to the limit today on sooo many fronts and still responded with a win.

 

As for Scott, I hope you guys can build off this game and represent the 10th. I don't believe there's anyone who can tell me that Brad Carr isn't one of the top 2 Coaches in the region, if not the best. Brad also went to and played for Holmes in the late 80's, you don't think those kids turned it up a notch today for Coach? Hopefully Scott will play the rest of their games with such grit and make it to Rupp.

 

ER, You are the man bro. We are going to a game real soon.::thumb: :ohbrother:

If Scott plays the way they did today, we could very well see them at Rupp.

I second that one... I just couldn't believe how well they played tonight, after just watching them lose to Dixie @ home last week...

I have seen heavy favorites walk into district or regional play with their we are mighty attitude and get slaughtered by teams that are ready for tournament play. There are never any givens in sports - especially when kids are involved.:sssh:

 

 

I think you missed my point. Holmes could lose on any given night.

After today I doubt very seriously Holmes overlooks anyone from here on out.

Tonights game was all about the free-throw line down the stretch... If Holmes makes their last one before the OT then Scott doesn't get to the line to miss their last one before the OT.

Scott only beat Lewis by 10!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think they overlooked Scott today, either. I think Scott just outplayed them today in many regards. Just my opinion.

Lewis County?

I agree. Without Smith though, Scott probably loses by 10+. He was huge for them. I can't stress enough how impressive he was today.

Stats for Scott? Anyone?

All of the fouls called on Pittman were VERY questionable though and 3 should have been offensive fouls. On two of them he got absolutely bowled over while standing still to take a charge and on the other Nikola threw an elbow at his chest, knocking him on the ground, but the foul was called on Pittman? When Pittman fouled out in OT the refs had came over and said something to both him and O'Conner about talking back and forth and not even 5 seconds later Pittman went up for a rebound and got the stick back but they call a foul on him? :confused:

 

Anyone who has seen Riley knows he NEVER gets in foul trouble which plays even more in to the fact that the refs were absolutely terrible.

 

You just had to be there to understand where myself and a few others are coming from. I'm sure the Scott fans would agree as well with the calls that went against their team.

 

 

I hate to say it Eta, but there are only 2 people in the gym who don't care who wins and they happen to be put in the best position to call the game. I know that you are a true Holmes fan, but some of your commentary about how they are treated by officials make it tough for others to sympathize.

 

Good win by Holmes and I would guess that Henley is glad that this game happened at this time.

 

Go Bulldogs!

I don't think they overlooked Scott today, either. I think Scott just outplayed them today in many regards. Just my opinion.

 

So you don't think Pittman being out of the game in foul trouble for two quarters during regulation had anything to do with the close game? Or Riley being out for a full quarter had anything to do with it? Please...

 

Not sure how you can say Holmes overlooked Scott and got outplayed when you weren't at the game. Holmes had a lot of UNFORCED turnovers today which led to Scott staying in the game and almost pulling it out.

 

Let's also not leave out the FACT that Holmes was playing against a TOP TWENTY team on that team's home court in front of a HUGE crowd and still beat them despite all the adversity.
