Holmes is 8-1, with lone loss coming to Ryle and beating CovCath and Newport twice.

Who makes it to Rupp?

Switch Boone and Dixie and your draw is right

I love Evans Fieldhouse. Its wide open, no backboards hanging on the sides, no bad seats in the house, can always see the scoreboard.

Thats what I mean, anyone can beat anyone. According to everyone, Holmes is beatable, and I would put Ryle at #2 the way they demolished Boone and have already proven they can beat Holmes. I'll still take Holmes to make it 4 straight to Rupp.

I'd say brackets are pretty evenly stacked. Good teams on both sides.

I'd like to see a Sewell/Johnson matchup happen in the semi's of the Sweet 16. Winner goes to championship game and pretty much seals up Mr. Basketball. Anyone else agree on this?

I totally agree, everyone has seem to have forgotten about him just because Holmes has not blown people out and he is not scoring 20 points per game. He is a team player and always guards the other teams's best player and usually shuts him down. I think the Sweet 16 will determine Mr. Basketball, especially if Holmes meets Trinity or Ballard in the tournament.

49-41 Holmes 3+ left in 4th.

Holmes defense this year is the best I have ever seen. And their press makes them scary good.

Wow, does this count as an upset?

31-19 Holmes at half.

Are you there or listening to it?

But Highlands was expected to be the 2nd best team in the area, I'm not saying that their not a good team, just wasn't expected.

Holmes is 7-1, with the lone loss to Ryle. But they play Cov Cath tonight in Park Hills

I was not impressed with the Fieldhouse, if you sit in the upper section it is hard to see a scoreboard because the side rims are in the way.

I'd say it was an upset seeing how I dont think anyone expected Newport to be this good this year, and Highlands was expected to be the 2nd best team in the area behind Holmes.

I think this game will come down to the end, Cov Cath is always tough at home. I think the colonels will get some extra energy from their "Colonel Crazies" in the stands and put up a fight that will push the Bulldogs to the limit. But in the end Holmes wins this with their defense.

I don't like it being at the BOKC either. If it was packed every night, I would have no problem, but even last year having 2 regional finals in one night couldnt pack the place. Hopefully the 9th comes to its senses and goes back to the 3 school rotation.

Will actually be their 4th straight title if they win it this year, which I believe they will do. They have stepped up their pressure in their past two games and will continue to dominate defensively, as the old saying goes, offense wins ballgames, Defense wins championships.

If Holmes presses I think they will be tough to knock out of the region.

Can anyone provide score updates?

Good, I was hoping they would, I think their size and athleticism is too much when they press.

Is Holmes pressing?

I would rather see HC stay in the 35th as its always fun to see Holmes/Holy Cross play each other, because its always a game between people who know each other for a long time.
