State tournament bracket

[Mr. Trill]

I predict Earle vs. Mt for the 19th time for Men.
Not sure if Earle girls can make that State run. Idk the girls too well.

[bigworm]

If our point guard gets healthy it's Earle/England. If not, it's Earle/England. Haha. We wanted to win the regional but not upset that we get to see earle in hot springs rather than the Duke. Seriously, I think earle comes out of the top. The bottom is a mystery to me, but I'll be pulling for my lions to make a repeat trip anyway.

Well if Earle is that much better than brinkley,  might as well give them the title now. Lol

[blackcoffee_91]

Bottom of the bracket will be interesting to watch. Don't sleep on the Blevins Hornets.

[bigworm]

They aren't that much better. Just will be an advantage for them where the tourney is being played. so I give them the edge.  But brinkley is very much capable of going to the summit in my opinion.

I've had my eye on blevins for a few weeks. They could be the team to beat.

If green is "on", brinkley will be hard to beat.

They don't have much size but they're disciplined and have a great point guard. Just a fun team to watch.

[Ctucker]

I will say Earle and Brinkley if there opposite I haven't looked at bracket.

[Mustangfans]

They are both on the top half of the bracket. I've got Earle vs Brinkley in the semifinals. I got Earle winning

[bbfan89]

Does it seem like there are more highly rated teams in the top half of the girls bracket?

That bracket is tough, it's not going to be an easy road for anybody.

[bbfan89]

Is Spring Hill the favorite in the lower bracket? I've not seen or heard about them. I know its luck of the draw on the matchups but it seems as though some lucky team has a much easier path to Hot Springs in the lower bracket.

[Mustangfans]

Does it seem like there are more highly rated teams in the top half of the girls bracket?

For sure.

[Mr. Trill]

I feel like the bottom half is a toss up but yeah Brinkley and Earle in the Semi's

[bigworm]

If green is "on", brinkley will be hard to beat.

I concur. Brinkley is tuff. Very tuff. I won't be surprised one bit to see them come out. But my gut tells me earle will get it done. Brinkley was very close to not even making the tourney. But close don't mean Jack crap. I'm just saying if they come out in this tourney like they did 1st round of regional it could be baseball time for buck.

When I saw the score and heard how that first round game went,  I thought to myself,  that could be bad for everyone else. Looked like it was a wake up. 

I still say England didn't use Thompson like they should. If there is a better big man in  1 through 4A I would like to see him.

[bdubyab60]

I'd be real surprised if Earle boys didn't make the semis. The way they crushed our region was impressive. Them and Brinkley in one semi that would be a game to watch for sure.

Bottom half the bracket I think you are looking at some really good games.

But anyone can get beat on any given night. Sometimes that basket has a lid on it, a couple crappy calls or just a few mistakes and you are sitting at home.

[Pit Bull]

Upset Alert.... Cross County takes down Brinkley "First Round!"

[Mustangfans]

CC can go a couple rounds deep. After all they did take down the almighty BIC mustangs.

[mtindian42]

Brinkley is really good. Cc can be tough if they come to play.

[bdubyab60]

I think CC is done unless they change their attitude of how they have played the last 4 games. Pretty much have been owned since beating BIC. 20 something to MT, beat WCC, smoked by Earle and the game against us wasn't one where I was ever worried though they got it close a couple times.

If the big man gets in foul trouble early then it's over with. They play lazy at times. BIC played too much ME ball this year. It's hard to say whether or not they'll beat Brinkley. It all depends on which team shows up.

[Pit Bull]

I think we all agree that the potential is there... It will definitely be a gauge on how good Brinkley is tho...

[Mustangfans]

Pit, I'm making the pilgrimage to Marmaduke to support your Doggs!!

[OB11]

Marmaduke is only like 20-25 minutes from my house.  But I can't talk myself into sitting in someones lap to watch games. 

[Mustangfans]

Earle is playing in the first 2 games tomorrow so I'm thinking it won't be too bad. I wonder if they are gonna let the Duke students out to watch the games? That's gotta hurt. Knowing someone else is playing in YOUR gym for something they can't have.

[RedWolf275]

I wouldn't think the crowds will be as big with Marmaduke absent.

Classic!
