Separation Tuesday in the 5A West?

[sevenof400]

In an interesting scheduling quirk, Tuesday's boys and girls games in the 5A West all feature matchups of teams in the top half of the standings versus teams in the bottom half of the standings. 

One possible outcome of Tuesday could be a two game separation between fourth and fifth places in the conference and while that is not a huge gap to overcome, with only eight conference games remaining it is not insignificant either.

Weird, but fun!

As stated previously a million times, the west (boys)is very evenly paired this year!  Although Clarksville has come out on the short end in conf.  They have the ability to beat anyone in conf play!  I am not sure we know playoff seedlings  in the west until the last game!  A race to the end, good luck to all

There are really no gimme games on the boys side.  Maumelle has been impressive so far, but Greenbrier or Harrison could trip us up this go round, and who knows what will happen in the second half of conference play.  It's gonna get interesting with the middle of the pack vying for the final 1 or 2 playoff spots, and the top 2 or 3 playing for seeding.

I went back and looked at the last 5 game's score of a team's total points (+) won by and a team's total points (-) lost by.  There have been a few close games played for the team's win or loss column.  The next 2 games will be very interesting for the midway point.

The bolded +6 for Maumelle should be +16. Maumelle won that game 72-56.
