As shown in last weeks victory for the Wildcats over Brossart they can play in a half court setting. Typically they would much rather get the ball out and score as many fast break points as possible. I look for this to be a hard fought battle by both teams. Monday was a wake up call for the Wildcats look for them to come out with some intensity and upset the Birds by 3.

I am a Newport fan tonight but it will take alot for them to pull this one out. They definately didn't do much to impress me vs Dayton, I know they are better than they played that night, but can they go from playing that bad, to playing good enough to be Highlands in 48 hours? I don't think so, but I have been wrong before.

 

My heart says Newport will win, but my head says Highlands by 10

Newport by 1.

Highlands by 7, they are tournement tested .

Highlands by 13

 

I say Newport has problems in the 2nd quarter and never recovers. Seems to have been there pitfall in every game they've lost this year.
