A lot of coaches don't like to call the timeout in that situation, preferring not to give the other team a chance to set its defense. Given the experience South Laurel puts on the court, it's a good bet that Steve Wright trusts his team to execute in such situations.

I understand that, but if you watched the game that I did, SL looked very disoriented while attempting to get off that last shot in regulation. SL had the better talent on the floor, I think calling a set play might have worked out a little better for them.

I was more puzzled as to why SL didn't call a TO at the end of regulation. They had plenty of them, and killed plenty of clock to take the last shot.

I do think though that they lack the depth to compete with south's bench, and South has better athletes that take care of the ball.

Depth? SL plays 7 players. They may have quality depth, but they NEVER use it. I've seen them up 25+ in the 4th, and still have their starters in the game.

I think SL wins this game, relatively easily. Hopefully Wright will rest his starters as much as possible, they'll need that rest come Saturday morning.

Football. I know that in KY that basketball is king, but football is my favorite.

Every other region in KY has schools that are more "centrally located", but they still rotate the host site, or play at a neutral site. It is simply not fair for one school to have home court advantage every single season.

So why do the AD's and coaches from the other schools vote to have it played there every year?

That's what I'd like to know. Why is this allowed to happen every year. Is it the voting of several of the small schools that have no chance to make it to Rupp?

I've never understood why Mason hosts the regional tournament every year. It appears to be a definate advantage for the Royals.

I'll be there, just picked up my tickets. Section 14, Row E.

4th or 13th

I'd say that the rest of the 13th would have been happier with NL, SL, Corbin, & Clay all in the same district.

The big question for Pulaski now is where will perkins be next year??

 

:fight:

No, isn't the big question who will be Pulaski's coach next year?

I If the Corbin radio guys have some way of checking, I'll bet they will find that this is one of the best attended 13th regional tournaments in a long time.

Maybe so, why do you think that is? Pretty good trade in NL & SL for Rockcastle when it comes to attendence, especially since Clay is so close to Laurel County.

I think they've done a pretty good job. The parking situation was handled great (buses), and the concessions are well stocked and manned. The traffic issue is BAD, but I put that on the local law enforcement, not Clay County HS. If the local police would just help the flow, it would be fine, but I've not seen any out in town.

People ALWAYS complain about the split sessions, and I'm of the opinion that they're not necessary in the first round games. I've decided to just watch one game, not stick around for 2. There is WAY too much time in between games.

North-67 - Bell-64

South-85 - Lynn Camp-48

Cawood-66 - B-Ville-59

Clay-69 - Corbin-60

I couldn't have picked them any better. I see the first round games about the same as 51513. :thumb:

The official that called the game told me exactly what he said. If you want to know PM me and I'll tell you. I would probably get kicked off of here if i used it in the board.

I can't wait to hear this. Pm on the way.

sorry I do not believe for one second thats the reason the T was called on Allen.

Now you know how Allen feels. That is EXACTLY what happened.

Why do they wait until Sunday afternoon to draw? When do the first round games start?

Stuart Miller, Middlesboro - UK & U of L

Hats off to Red Bird, and a hard fought game. They obviously came in more ready to play than NL The Jags had no one that could stop Red Bird's Berry from driving to the basket. NL finally woke up, and their depth prevailed, pulling away in the fourth quarter.

Blanchester must not be very good...at all.

 

Are we in the OHSAA playoffs yet?

Blanchester is a very small city school. Not much of a basketball program, but excellent football & wrestling programs.

Uh Oh!

Look for Rockcastle to be shipped back to the 13th now. :lol:

I see SL taking out a little frustration on the Bobcats. SL will ROLL in this one, by 25+.

Clinton Massie HS (OH) - 1981

Not that any loss is good, but this one should definately get the focus of SL's team back where it needs to be. SL should win the 13th, but I don't necessarily think it will be as easy as some think it will be for them.

I also agree with a previous poster in that Boyle now has to be the favorite to win the 12th.

North Laurel will be there.

I was shocked to see the play of Pulaski's team. There was not much heart or effort that I could see. It was, without a doubt, the poorest showing that I've ever seen by a PC basketball team. It's got to be hard for these boys to have their coach quit on them mid season. With all that's gone on, this season must surely be a low point for PC's basketball program.

Good luck to them in finding a coach that will get them back to where they belong.
