So... I'm at work and it's somewhat slow and I'm bored.

Let's say instead of a regional tournament and draw there is a selection committee that chooses 16 teams throughout the state and seeds them. Who ya got and where do you put them?

This looks pretty good.

You both have 6 teams from the 7th region! I'm not disagreeing, it just goes to show the 7th region tournament should be an unbelievable show this year.

When the NCAA brackets their 64(65) team tournament, no conference can have more than 2 teams in each bracket of 16, so that those teams cannot meet until the regional final. Let's say that for this Kentucky Sweet 16, that no more than two teams from a region can be in the tournament so that they cannot meet until the State Final. What two teams from the 7th region would be in and how would that bracket look? I know it is comparing apples to oranges, but I am just curious to see what you come up with.

Does anyone know how many of the six 7th region teams listed above participated in the LIT this year?

all of them

Hmm...I sure missed a great tournament then.

Can't believe you left out McCreary Central when they beat Corbin. I also think Christian County and Shelby Valley are seated to low. JMO

I thought this one would be fun to go by. I stayed true to NCAA form and have a play-in game even. Some of the match-ups couldn't accurately reflect exactly where I thought the teams were considering that teams had to be in opposite brackets. Anyway, I tried to make this one in consideration of having as much separation as would be reasonably possible in making the first round match-ups; i.e. a match-up between Christian Co. (2) and Shelby Co. (8) was more attractive than a match-up between Christian Co. and Warren Central (4).

 

Anyway, here goes::banana::banana::banana:

 

1. Trinity (7)

16. Play-In: Corbin v. Knott Co. Central (13 v. 14)

 

8. Clark County (10)

9. Warren Central (4)

 

4. Holmes (9)

13. Iroquois (6)

 

5. Scott Co. (11)

12. South Oldham (8)

 

-------------------------------------

 

3. Lexington Catholic (11)

14. Boone County (9)

 

6. Christian County (2)

11. Shelby County (8)

 

7. Shelby Valley (15)

10. McCreary Central (12)

 

2. Ballard (7)

15. Bowling Green (4)

I honestly forgot all about McCreary Central.

 

In that case, I'd move them to #13, and drop Seneca, Bowling Green, and Boone all down one spot. That drops Corbin out.

 

As far as Christian Co, it's tough to put them ahead of Warren Central when they just lost to WC by 8 a week ago.

 

Shelby Valley has played two legit KY teams all year...PCC and Christian Co. Both losses. They'll have a chance to prove themselves tonight against J'town but as of right now, I don't see SV as a top 10 team. Who in my top 10 would they beat??

With SV loosing to PCC and GRC's big win over Ballard last night, can see these picks now changing some.

Wow I am glad this isn't true. Beings that most didn't even speak of McCreary and they have wins against some you guys put in. Bias opinions is what appears here.
