Horrible officiating, African American ref kept CC in game, period. I thought I paid money to watch the boys play basketball. Not how good the refs wanted to look. Typical :puke:

My understanding was, both teams were woofing at each other quite a bit and I think the officials wanted to keep a handle on the game.

Are you serious?

 

Man, some of you sure make it hard for to pull for Holmes even though I'm a 9th region fan

They were a little bit. Second half officials were fine but first half they weren't very good.

Congrats Bulldogs!!! It will not be easy, but remember that feeling you had last year after the Championship.

 

Good Luck guys!!!

I dont think you really need to. They are doing a good job of defending themselves on the court where it really matters.:thumb:

Your right, my good freind Big Marc sitting right here in the hotel room said take a chill pill. So I'll be :sssh:

Wise move there Dawg81....

Exactly. The 9th Region defense is so underrated. People made a huge deal about Holmes only scoring 32 last week, but today they had that in the first half. You don't see defense as good as Boone's down state.

A lot of people confuse defense and tempo control ... in this case, I suspect it's more of the latter.

Riley was on fire from beyond the arc for most of the year. Cooled off late in the season. If he stays hot, Holmes will be hard to beat (and if he does not stay hot... well, they will still be hard to beat). I agree that Rico is the MAN. In addition to great talent, he carries himself very well on the court. Coach Henley has done a superb job with the Bulldogs. Best of luck the rest of the way.

Wasn't there but the radio guys did say that Pittman seemed to be out of his game a little due to jawjacking.

This was a fun game to watch. Both teams play a pretty exciting brand of basketball and it made for a good game.

 

First off hats off to Christian County they played a nice game and played hard the whole game. #11 for CC is a freaking speed demon with the ball in his hands. He gave the dawgs fits several times with his quickness. If there is a player faster than him in the tournament I wanna see him.

 

Thought the dawgs looked pretty good but it could have been better. They seemed to come out a little gun shy and afraid to push the ball and attack the press. Not sure what the game plan was but I thought they played right into Christian County's press by slowing the ball down. They did a little to much dribbling against it and not enough passing and they didnt attack the middle of the press at all which is where you need to beat it at. They would dribble up the court a little and then instead of looking ahead they passed the ball backwards into the press. I thought they made the press harder on themselves than it should have been.

 

CC was said to be a running team and they were but I thought Holmes could have out ran them and beat them at their own game if they wanted too. After Christian County scored the first 4 points of the second half I thought the dawgs showed a glimpse of what they could do when they really want to push it. They were up 32-30 and then they went on a nice run where they just pushed the ball hard offensively up and down the court and really got after it on defense and boom they were up 40-30 just like that and CC called a timeout. Thought they were going to run away with it at that point. After the timeout tho Holmes went back to slowing it down and not attacking like they were and I thought it kept CC in the game.

 

IMO Ricardo Johnson is the best player in the tournament. That kid is so money and can really carry this team when he needs too. Hats off to Housely as well he played a great game. His dunk over the CC defender was nasty.
