Blowout....Correct me if i'm wrong. I've seen LR Mills and they will have to play absolutely terrible to not get the one seed in the East Region? Could they be upset by anyone??

Livewire

It will be worse than a blowout.  Expect to see mercy rule invoked at start of 4th quarter.

Back to back mercy rules, eh?

Livewire

I'd say the only way it wont be a Mercy game is if Bobby holds the ball at mid court all night.
Which he is apt to do!

Brookland has been overrated all year.

With a loss to Brookland and Southside, one might agree.
Lets see how they do in the rest of post season. ;)

I think that the East regional will have tougher games than the 1st and 2nd rounds of state.

I Agree , It will be a tough task to knockoff LR Mills!!  It was a tough task to get a W at Westside but they did it, anything can happen in the post season!!

Westside has 2 bad losses all year and somehow they're overrated? Makes sense. Shouldn't have lost to Brookland or Southside.

Besides those,  you take your hat off to the other teams and call it a loss.

I totally agree!! That East region is going to get good with only 4 going to the state tourney. I don't think Mills will be upset but the 2, 3 and 4 seed could be different than some predicted. The 1 and 2 seed from the East will get a 1st round bye in the state tourney. First in the south (which should be barring any injury the Magnolia Panthers) and 1st from the North which possibly could be Pottsville will both get a 1st round bye as well.

Thoughts?
I think the home loss by Westside at the hands of Brookland when you predicted sewing up the conference championship has hurt your feelings so bad you had to start this thread to rub it in Brooklands fans faces.

Mills would/will dump Weeside pretty easily if/when they play. Enjoy residing on the top of the little mountain that you have built for yourself.

If you're assuming every Westside naysayer is ole Randy, then I'm guessing he has a lot of screen names!

You guys are lucky.... If Baptist Prep was still in 4A the state title would be Prep vs Mills. Westside and Brookland could play in the consolation game though. Brookland could be better, but their coaches offensive philosophy involves throw it around the perimeter for a minute straight from time to time.

That has been a complete failure for every program that has tried it this year that I've seen.

Fun and useless fact! Both Coaches, Mills (Cooper) and Brookland (Gross) both played at A-State.....I believe at the same time!!! Has no bearing on the game! Don't know bout Gross but Cooper was a baller at Sylvan Hills. I watched and played with him....

Osceola beat Manila by doing this, at Manila for the district championship.

Brookland girls beat #1 Batesville by doing this, for the district championship.

Nettleton boys beat Jonesboro boys last night, by doing this.

Fans hate it, but coaches love to have it in their toolbox. Especially against a team that will sit back in a zone and not come out and guard. Love it or hate it, it works.

Brookland won't hold the ball, they'll just run their offense for all 8 minutes if they can.

I imagine Mills will jump out and pressure them. Brookland really isn't built to come back from a deficient over 6 points or so.

I think you are exactly right. Mills is going to take it to them. In the three examples above, each of those teams stayed back in a zone and allowed the other team to hold the ball.

Mills will get after the Bearcats as soon as they get off the bus.

J12

Yep. Holding the ball sucks. Sitting back and playing a zone is equally as dumb.

That's all I'm going to say about it.

I started this thread with honestly wanting feedback. My thoughts - Brookland plays closer than most think. IF Mills plays well and gets up early, they'll win easily.  Longer Brookland can keep the game in the "8-10 points per quarter" area, the better off they'll be.

Brookland DID NOT have to play that style to beat teams this year, they were instructed to. They have talented players who can play up tempo. Hard to do that consistently however.

4 minutes to tip-off. Here we go!!

To my regret, I have fallen victim to Montezuma's Revenge, and it has me on a short leash that starts in the toilet and ends about 30' from there. Ergo, I am not in attendance, so updates on the score at regular intervals would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck to the Bearcats, and prayers for an injury-free game for both teams.

Brookland players were ready for that one. Hats off to them. Those technicals absolutely cost Brookland at a MAJOR upset.

Sad.

Were the technicals legit or did the officials react to Bobby's over the top behavior? Not every official has seen the antics of Bobby G so I could understand if some new guys came in and put the brakes on him. 

J12

2 officials were NEA refs. One being Brad Davidson.

boss85

Davidson was not one of the officials. Ernie Murray was one of them. The first technical was for being outside the box. I didn't like it. He was not WAY out and was not going nuts at all. As we all know, after the first T the coach has to stay seated. The officials actually ignored him standing up after that a few times but he only got up for short periods of time. Then he stood up and was yelling at one of his players and the little short official gave him his second T and he was ejected. I don't like referees being a deciding factor in this way but Gross kind of brings some of that on himself.  He should have kept his butt in the chair. Thumbs down to the referees on this one.

Nice recap of what actually happened Boss85! I'd say giving a guy a 2nd T for getting out of his chair in a 1 point game with 2 minutes left is lousy officiating, especially if he was talking to players. You got to watch these little short refs, some of them have a chip on their shoulder.

J12

I don't agree with it either BUT as a head coach you CAN NOT cost your players a chance to win the game and that's exactly what he did.

Dude can not show any restraint. It's crazy.

Those players played a great game and deserved the chance to decide it on the court and not on the sideline.

J12

And quit with the officiating complaints. They call the game within the rule book and people get mad.  They don't call fouls (within the rules) people get mad.   

You can't have it both ways.

If you're asking them to show restraint there, then don't complain when they don't call a reach in foul that's a foul.

Bulldog92

is It true that Brookland only shot two free throws the entire ballgame??  Those came after a Brookland player took a charge and the Mills player said something to the ref?? Just wondering because if that is true then Mills players are very well controlled in an uptempo man to man defense where they are in your face the entire game and that is very unusual for high school kids!!

Brookland played the perfect game to beat Mills. They shot well, played hard, and had a chance, leading the game with under 3:00 to go.

They had an 8 point lead in the 4th quarter!

Please. Please. Don't blame the refs here. Not a good look.
