If you are just using that as a figure of speech, no problem. I have grandkids until 11:000 and then plan on heading down. I may see some of you, but I expect a large NKY contingent.

Really, let me know how much!

I have no grandkids tomorrow and the lovely lady is flying out at 9:30, so I think I am heading down.

No effect, they played at NKU for the regionals and at least one other time. They may have played several more times on others, I am not sure. Hendrix is playing football at Indiana State and I think McNeil is headed to Bellermine

Have I ever told you I dislike spellcheck.

I'm pretty confident it will be fixed. They are better than Scott on the boards. BG's bigs, though, give everybody trouble. This should be a good game an dI still think whoever controls tempo wins.

Cooper only had trouble on the boards tonight. Very impressive every where else. This one will be very good. Cooper wears teams down. If BG can't control tempo, opera wins. If they can get in their 1/2 court and get it to their big guys, they will win. This is simply who controls the pace and play.

Two titles in 7 years. If Cooper wins that will be 3 of 8, very strong. And will be around the next couple, I believe. Final Four in 2007,08, 09, also.

Lots of time. The Jags make their free throws they win. they will really take the air out now.

Cooper just wears you down. They are relentless defensively.

That's unusual

Florida up 12 with 45 seconds left in 1st half

A Cooper type of game, I see.

Yes what happened!

Hats off to the Eagles. They came to play. Congrats to the Purples.

Letting them hang around. That will get you.

About what I expected up to this point. BG protecting the ball and shoving it inside. That is a tough combo for the Eagles. But with the way Scott can shoot the 3 they can get points in a hurry.

I doubt it also but my point is if they do, it gives Scott a better chance. BG's A-game would be too much.

Beating a quality team 4 times in a season is more than impressive. ....and there goes my pool.

41 fouls, wow. Must be a physical one.

So that's who NKU gets in the next round?

They look really good. Under control and tough.

I agree it is easy, but most people are casual fans across the state. I am much more familiar with players in the 8th, 9th, and 10the regions than the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Most people also don't have the time to watch games of every team. Lots of very good players that never even get what Jake is getting and that is an opportunity with a large captive audience. Coaches probably know about him and good players but I doubt a 1st region coach studied him at all. Too busy worrying about who they play.

The Cooper team that played tonight is a handful for anyone.

Cooper has been Top 10 all year. This is not a surprise. They are really good. Now Scott lost some head scratchers but have played well, really well when it counts.
