I can't go along with the philosophy that the best team always wins. There could be a lot of factors involved that would prevent the best team from winning such as a few bad calls by the refs, playing on the opponents home court, injuries during the contest and other factors. I remember in the 39th district one year the clock didn't start for about 15 seconds allowing the best team to get beat. I remember well in 1957 when Allen Smith and Bobby Jones were playing for Maysville(2 first team all state boys) got beat in the regionals by Nicholas Co . Maysville had twice the talent of Nicholas and got beat. In ball you can never tell. Sometimes the best team doesn't always win.

I agree the best team doesn't always win. That is why you play the game, if the best team was going to always win, Why play? Case in point, Villanova and Georgetown in 1985. Georgetown was the better team and had already beaten Nova twice and but for a lucky break on the the last shot by Wittenberg would have won for a third time.

In a best of series the better team probably does win, for example the MLB playoffs and the NBA playoffs. But in a one and done any team can win that one time with just the right breaks.

Lorenzo Charles' putback on Dereck Whittenberg's miss beat Houston, not Georgetown.

 

Michael Jordan's shot beat the Hoyas in 1982.

The better team wins that night.

I am sure you would be singing a different tune if the region was held on our court every year. :walk:

 

If you build it, they will come. Montgomery County stepped up to the plate with their beautiful arena. Why doesn't a large 6A school like GRC try and do the same thing? I have been in the GRC facility, and there is no way it could ever hold a major tournament.

I believe they have had the regional tournament there before, so they did.:sssh:

And the reason it hasn't been back there since is because they had problems in 1969. No way a regional tournament could be held there in 2010 or beyond.

That was my senior year in high school and I remember it there but can't remember the problems. What were they? I know it's size would be a problem today.

You missed my point. If we had the facility and had it evey year, Mason fans would be the strongest to complain. Heck you all complained the last two years because Mason Co didn't host it. Remember the threads on hosting the 10th region....:lol:

I do remember the better team winning those years though don't you? :popcorn:

Not close to enough seats. Hundreds had to watch the game in the cafeteria on closed-circuit television, I believe. That's why it never went back.

I may be wrong but I don't think they used closed circuit tv back in those days.:idunno:

Then maybe they just used the school intercom system and didn't have video (which would have been worse).
