Final from Wayne Co.

Monticello needs to find some chemistry from what I've seen they don't seem to play like a team at times.

I believe at least the Elite 8 and Final 4 is not out of the question. John Wall would be a huge assist to any team, but even without him I think Bledso can do the job, and I also believe Liggins would bloom and look like a totally different player under Coach Calipari. If I'm not mistaken didn't Calipari recruit him at Memphis.

If all that happens along with Patterson coming back, it will feel like Christmas in May. Couldn't get much better.

The 12th region is spread far enough now, when you consider Wayne and McCreary County to Jessimine Co. and over to Mercer Co.

I don't know anything about Hazard but if they expect to win they better have some really good defense. Polson is hard to handle. He's got one of the quickest first steps I've seen in high school, not to mention he's very illusive and somehow finds his way to the basket. I pick West to win this one.

Congratulations West and good luck in the sweet 16

Eastern by 10 I've seen both teams play this year and corbin is very good but don't think they can handle eastern. Either way should be a great game to watch.

West did beat Wayne by 63 to 61 ( I believe). If Wayne plays with the same intensity as they did against Rock should be one heck of a game.

True they did shoot better than they were during there slump but defensive was much much better than it was during that stretch of games, they also played with much more passion. If they would have played with the same intensity they would not have lost 6 straight.

They looked like they have found their passion and the desire to when, much like they had at Christmas. If they continue to play like they did tonight they could be hard to beat.

Final

I pick Wayne by 5. Even if McCreary wins this game I sure don't see them winning the region. I don't believe they have the team unity it takes to win the region. It takes more than just talent.

Congratulations, good win girls. Good luck against southwestern.
