I think this is going to be a very close game. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Conner play NDA already this year? If so who won?

Sorry about the spelling error on the title

I dont know if anyone has started a thread about this yet.. But what are your predictions?

Way to go lady cougars! Good luck against NDA

Conner by 7

It was a close game the whole time. Conner took the lead late in the third and lost it in the final minutes of the fourth

The 05 team had more horses than this Conner team does. Lets not forget about that.

Very true. But I think Conner will win tonight. They play with so much heart. The only hard part will be containing Luke Mace. Kid is HUGE.

Do you have a link to it? I tried to look for a thread on it but I couldn't find one.

I'd love to see Conner advance to the finals and have a rematch with Boone. Im taking Conner in this one. Hopefully the Cougars dont overlook HC like they did last time.

Any predictions? I know Dixie beat Conner 2 times already this year.

Also i agree with atm. Great officiated game last night. I dont why anyone would think the refs did a bad job. Probably one of the best officiated games I have seen all year. Conner only shot so many free throws because they were up late in the game and highlands was forced to foul. But good game Highlands. Good luck in the future

Great game Lady Cougars. Good luck the rest of the way!

Do you watch these teams play much?

Yes I do watch these teams play often.

I am going to have to say Conner will win the region if they can get past Highlands. I know that Highlands has beat them two times already but it is very heard to beat a team three times in a row. If Conner can get past Highlands, Conner will win the region. If Highlands beats Conner in the first round, it's Highlands region to lose!

AGREED!

Although the region tournament history doesn't show it, Jim Hicks always has Conner ready for tournament time. Just look back to '05 when Conner upset Cov Cath who was then #1. Although they have not made it far in the tournament, they always give teams very tough games.

I don't think anyone is really saying Conner isn't a scary team to play at home come tournament time. Everyone remembers the upset they pulled against #1 Covcath 3 years ago.

 

They have been beaten by Dixie twice this year, both by double digits but Boone did the same thing and got upended by them in the district tourney.

You may beat Conner in the regular season by double digits but when it comes tournament time they will give you a very tough game. Hicks is one of the best coaches at getting his team ready for the tournament.

Boone is very impressive but they rely heavily on Behrens. Also Bradley seems to crumble under pressure sometimes when Boone is losing. NDA is very good. But I think Conner is very capable of making it to the finals and winning and I think they will do so. Hodges is a very strong inside force and Long runs the point very well. If they can get past Highland then I see them facing Boone is the finals.

Im going to take Conner vs. Boone in the finals. Conner looked sloppy in the district championship against Boone. I think they will step it up big time and beat highlands tonight.

Hicks will once again have the cougars ready to play. im going with conner in a close one. plus the homecourt advantage always helps. the conner student section is crazy come playoff time

Who gets the win in the 33rd district title game?

How will this win effect the draw for the 9th region tournament?

I'll take conner by 5. Allison Long is a great shooter and great ball handler. Plus Conner homecourt advantage.

Boone seemed to put there attention on a few key players and the rest of the team stepped up big time (Stephens, Brake, Broyles) to really hurt the rebels.

Very true. Boone seemed to game-plan mainly against Thomas and Pugh this took their attention off the other players and it hurt them badly in the end.

Homecourt advantage will mean alot to this conner team. Seems they always play great when they have a big crowd cheering them on. Look for them to suprise some teams.

HUGE win for Hicks and his cougars. Hicks does an outstanding job getting his team ready come playoff time. Aaron stephens stepped up and played a great game. Erik Thomas also was solid for conner. Great game Cougars. Goodluck friday night. I also cannot wait to see a rematch of last years district finals. Should be a good one.

Coach Hicks always has the Cougars ready come playoff time. Im picking conner in an upset at home.
