I agree. I didn't think Elliott played overly hard in the first quarter. Maybe they didn't want to blow the other team out? I don't know, but they are certainly very capable and the Tomcats will have an uphill battle with or without Timmy Knipp. Here's hoping his ankle heals and Ashland can play the full team. Best of luck to both teams and congrats on getting this far!

 

Still put up 80+ points without playing too hard ha ha. I hate too see what happens to Ashland if Elliott decides to play there game!:sssh:

GEEE, really ? They only scored 31 in the first quarter. That's more than many scored in one half, and some in a whole game this year. They had 4 in double figures without playing the fourth quarter.They also hit 11 threes and they finished with 88 points. I guess some of you have really really high expectations.:ohbrother:

Elliott Co. will also take this one, no problem.

Any updates on T. Knipp? Whether Elliott wins by 35 or 20 will depend on if he plays or not. They can win the region without him but they will need a 100% T. Knipp once they get to Rupp.

Elliott could probably sit T Knipp and both Faulkners and win this game. I really don't see Elliott giving their best effort in any game in the Regions because they won't have to? Nobody in the 16th can challenge them, and their boys know it. Hard to get fired up under these conditions. I think it would be best if they rest Knipp and make sure he is completely healed for the State tourney.

You got far from a full dose of Elliott County.

EC by a dozen and a lot of subs , Tue night back to the starters. Go Elliott. ! ! ! !:dancingpa:popcorn::clap:

Elliott County by 20.

Elliott by 20+ no Kouns to control the outcome.

 

Good one!:dancingpa

Elliott by 17.

Elliott by 20+ no Kouns to control the outcome.

 

Only ones that are going to control the outcome are the players. Then again, it seems that it wouldn't be a 16th region basketball thread without a mention of referees in some way.

 

Elliot 77

Ashand 60

Elliott County looked like they knew they were going to win last night and didn't play on the offensive side of the ball like I thought they were capable. They looked bored out there. I look for them to step it up a notch Monday night and win by 20+.

 

Then why did you choose Ashland in the poll? Was it a sympathy vote?

My comment that EC didn't appear to be playing overly aggressively was a compliment to them. I believe you misunderstood me. It was obvious they could have poured it on even more than they did! However, why bother? There is no point in running the risk of injury before the championship game.

Does anyone but me notice that the Elliott Co. team can't seem to win with some people?:D If the team had come out and keep the pressure on that was seen in the first quarter, it would have been an even more lopsided score and IMO unneccesary and nonproductive for both teams. Can you imagine the negative feedback if they had blown the score out to over 100 points?:idunno::idunno: However, when they slowed the tempo down and subbed, some complain about a "boring" game or accuse them of not playing "overly hard".:idunno:

 

There was also another comment on this thread about the players smiling or enjoying themselves (never at inappropriate moments, IMO or FWIW). They do have some big smiles on their faces and are enjoying the ride; most of them realize what a special time this for them and are cherishing each and every step of the way.:ylsuper: Good Luck Elliott Co. Lions and continue to stay in the moment and savour all of them!

I didn't choose Ashland in the poll. I chose EC and have chosen them everytime. I think you made a mistake. :thumb:

I am with TruBlu on this one. I think it is awesome that Elliott County is good enough to put up 31 points in the first quarter and do it "bored". I am actually paying them a huge compliment. Name any other team that can go out and play that way and win by 25? I can't. I am excited for them and can't wait to see them cut down the nets in Rupp.:isurrender:
