Have seen both teams play this year. Sacred Heart has a few good players. Sivils, Berger, Harriss and a big. I just don't think they have the depth to contend with Eastern. Eastern won by 2 last year and Sacred Heart lost the majority of their scoring but gained a really good freshman. I just don't think she will be enough. I say Eastern by 15...
E-Town also has Stinson. She is athletic player and very difficult to stay in front of defensively. She just has to know when to pass and when to shoot. Boley is Boley. Male lacks depth at the ball handling positions and that could hurt them with a trapping team. But they are very long and could easily get 2nd, 3rd and 4th chance points. Not impressed with Sacred Heart. Butler was tough against Male and held Green to 6 points, I think. Penn is the real deal!
Not sold on Eastern yet. Mercer Co., E-town and Bowling Green before they make the finals. Eastern is deep but don't play well together. Have to see them against a good team. E-town stomped Butler in a jamboree earlier this year. Mercer Co. is a good team, well coached and they play hard all the time. Should be fun to watch.
5 out of your top 10 and 8 out of your 20 will be playing in the Lexington Catholic Tournament next weekend. This will almost be like a Sweet 16, minus a few key teams but great basketball none the less. Looking forward to it. Plus deep enough in the season to make some quality assessments. Then lets see the top 20...
Eastern at J-Town tonight. What is the spread? This will be Michler's 2nd game, Eastern will probably avg. 80 pts a game this season. Very deep and very talented. Just not big...
