Does anyone realize that out of the 20 teams ranked on bluegrass final rankings, only 4 of them are left? And those four teams face off tonight. I think this session will be the best session of the whole tournament. Anyone else agree? Could this be the best session in years?

Holmes by 12 to make the semis for the third straight year.

I was really impressed everyone contributed to the game today, only thing that scares me is their lazy passes and no help when a ball handler is in trouble. I agree the refs were whistle happy today and in my opinion there were a lot of ticky tack fouls on both teams. But glad to see Holmes pull it out. 1 down, 3 to go. Go Dogs!

Is everyone satisfied with the points Holmes put up? All week everyone talked about lack of scoring from Holmes, I think this game took care of that statement.

Does anyone know why they quit alternating between Freedom Hall and Rupp Arena?

How many of them have tournament experience? I too would love to see this game and see which is better, elliot county's offense or holmes defense. Would make a great game

Holmes because of their defense.

I thought you win games by scoring more than your opponent? Not the amount you score? Holmes by 11

This game was a great game, all the way to the end, I love seeing close games like this no matter the score, it makes the game more interesting, and it came down to the final shot. Hats off to both teams. GO DOGS!!!

I said it before and I'll say it again, Offense wins ballgames, but DEFENSE wins championships. With the way this team is playing defense, it's going to be a fun time in Rupp.

Will the gym be cleared in between games? Guy from my work asked me this and i didn't know, told him i didnt think so.

Most students didn't buy their own tickets as their high school principal bought 300 tickets for students and faculty

3-Time 9th Region Champs heading to state for another run at a title. Holmes in a close one by 6. I will be there at 5 to watch both games. I want to make sure I have my seat.

Holmes by 8, doesnt the only thing matter in the end is the final score? Not point total? Just my opinion.

Highlands by 7.

It seems that unless you blow teams out of the water, any team can upset you. While the dogs have had close games this season, its those games that measure your toughness. I believe the dogs can go all the way this year.

Holmes by 15

Boone by 7

All in all it makes one heck of a tournament. I will definitely be there thursday night to support the dogs all the way to state.

I myself am an alumnus of Holmes, and it is down right pathetic that we have no student section. I have been attending games since I was 10 cause my brother went to school there as well, and the only time we even had something close to a student section for basketball was 2001-2002. Everyone is more worried about talking to their friends during the game rather than cheering on their team. When I went to games and still go, I root for the team when the game is going on. I'm not saying I want a section like Cov Cath's, although it would be nice, but lets fill up at least part of the end section. I believe kids are worried about getting made fun of if they are in a student section.

See ya march 21st at 8pm! :jump: GO DOGS!!!

Very true. as the old saying goes...Offense wins ballgames, Defense wins CHAMPIONSHIPS!

64-43 Final
