Not in favor of how this tournament was structured. Although it did not hurt SK in POOL A.

 

4 teams in one pool and 6 teams in another. Cooper (1st season) being one team in large pool really upset the stats in POOL B. Very large runs scored on them and this became an issue in tie breaking. Macon Co (TN), Calloway Co. and Beth Haven all had a reason to be upset in POOL B. Should have been resolved with team stats only for those involved by "head to head." (JMO) :idunno:

 

(IMO) A host school should run the tourney and sit out or play in pool but not be eligible in elimination series. Not because Lou. So. beat SK (it was a great game) but because the earlier events put a shadow on the event :popcorn:

A win in the final would have meant 29 wins in the last 30 games. 7-1 start still makes a pretty strong statement.
