  1. I'm in the same boat as Massey. I'd say close for the first half and then the Rocks pull away in the second and win comfortably, but not a blowout.
  2. I've always interpreted them as "fire marshal" numbers more than actual seats.
  3. It is wild that he's been there for 40 years. They've had a lot of success, too.
  4. Is Dayton a lock for the tournament no matter what? If so, there's definitely going to be a bid-stealer win the Atlantic-10.
  5. The ability of college athletics administrators to bid against themselves and cost their programs millions of dollars is staggering. Why are you extending a guy who wasn't going anywhere?
  6. He's been interim principal for eight years?
  7. Parking for that event at Memorial Coliseum would definitely be a challenge.
  8. This is the bane of new gymnasium design. I see it at almost every new school. It's almost like the architect has never sat in the upper deck of a high school game.
  9. They haven't looked good for a month. Several ugly losses on their resume. I'm very interested to see what seed the Jayhawks get.
  10. I hadn't seen Cincinnati until last night. I left thinking Skillings was very impressive and also kinda looks like Shane Battier except with more hair. Anyone else?
  11. Interesting. I would assume they would cut into the concession stand end where all the open space is?
  12. Hasn't Bowling Green hosted the NAIA Mid-South Conference tournament a few times in recent years? I'm assuming they have a 94-foot floor, shot clocks, etc. Obviously it will stay at Diddle Arena but Bowling Green seems more than capable as you said.
  13. I think, size wise, Pulaski County is the best spot for the boys and Lincoln County is the best spot for the girls (just because the girls tournament typically doesn't draw quite as big of crowd).
  14. All different, all good coaches. I'm not sure there is a home run hire out there this cycle but I do think any of these four would be an excellent choice for Louisville and would succeed sooner than later.
  15. Didn't seem as though many people liked the way he framed that. This isn't exactly a Carr Creek/Brewers/Hickory High story. However, Evangel is a very good team and will be an extremely difficult out in the state tournament.
  16. I don't know about Wednesday but if they win their first round game, I suspect there will be a large crowd to see them on Friday afternoon.
  17. It does - 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, and now 2024. Since they seem to win back-to-back, does that make them the favorite going into next year?!
  18. Specer County was runners-up to North Oldham in 2011 but beyond that they'd never really even been close. This is only the 14th region tournament in school history dating back to 1922 and only the eighth region tournament game the school has won (they beat Versailles and Finchville in 1926; Gallatin and North Oldham in 2011; South Oldham in 2019). This is the definition of "a long time coming."
  19. Looking back through the records, Butler County was 0-6 in regional finals before winning last night. All six losses came in a ten year stretch (1954-63), which just had to be absolutely brutal for their kids and fans. 1954 lost to Central City 1956 lost to Central City 1957 lost to Hartford 1961 lost to Beaver Dam 1962 lost to Caneyville 1963 lost to Hancock County
  20. The 12th Region has rotated boys and girls between Lincoln County and Pulaski County for over a decade. Prior to that, there was a rotation of about a dozen schools that hosted. There are several in the region large enough to host, and occasionally Mercer County and McCreary Central make a little noise about wanting to bring back a rotation, but it seems like most of the schools are pretty content to keep it where it is, which is centrally located in the region. I'll add, there are three college gymnasiums in the region (Centre, Asbury, CU-Harrodsburg) but none have anything close to enough seats to host a region tournament.
  21. I streamed them through Fubo last year. It worked fine. My complaint with Fubo is they don't have TBS/TNT, so I've canceled it for the time being and subscribed to Hulu so I'll have access to March Madness on the Turner channels. I'll probably go back to Fubo afterwards if the Reds aren't picked up by any other services.
  22. First regional title for Magoffin County. Three previous times they had advanced to the final, losing to Johnson Central in 1984 and Paintsville in both 1995 and 1996.
  23. 1355 kids in the building per the 2023-24 data from the KHSAA, the largest in the 12th Region. East Jessamine has 1222 kids while Southwestern and Pulaski County are both hovering around 1200 kids. https://khsaa.org/reports/enrollments/20232024schoolenrollmenttotalsbyenroll.pdf
  24. I doubt it. One, NKU was the five-seed in their conference so they didn't have a great regular season. And two, the conference champions that lose in their tournament no longer have an assured NIT bid. I could see NKU winding up in the CIT down in Florida, an event for non-power 5 schools.
