Winners from tonight...

Girls
Union beat Hartford
Eureka beat Decatur

Boys
Eureka beat Hartford
Mountainburg beat Union

Eureka will play Hackett tomorrow.  Hackett swept the season series.  Mountainburg will play Westside and the two teams split the season series.  The winner of the Eureka/Hackett game will play Dectur in the semi-finals, and the winner of the Westside/Mountainburg game will play Magazine in the semi-finals.  I have no idea how the girls bracket is set-up, sorry.

Yeah, Mountainburg was playing a box and one and were allowing too much penetration and giving up too many offensive rebounds.   They were actually down 2 at halftime.   Went back to their regular 1-1-3 zone and they pulled away in the second half.

Hackett must be a bad match for Eureka.  They went 3-0 against them this year.  Mountainburg split with Hackett (although one of those losses came in November when they didn't have a player or two; but they beat them handily at Mountainburg.  Eureka swept Mountainburg, though. 

Semi-finals setup like this I believe:

Boys
1 Decatur vs. 3 Hackett
2 Magazine vs. 6 Mountainburg

Girls
1 Mountainburg vs. Union
2 Magazine vs. 3 Hackett

Not sure what place Union's girls finished in the regular season.  I"m guessing 4th or 5th.  Not real surprised Mountainburg made it to the semi-finals despite a 6th place regular season finish.  Hackett, Eureka, Mountainburg, and Magazine were all very even in my opinion.  Just one of those years where any of the top 5-6 in the conference could beat each other on any given night.  Not to mention Mountainburg has homecourt advantage.  The last couple of years there was a clear cut top four in Mountainburg, Eureka, County Line, and Hartford.

Thank you.  I just took a stab in the dark.  Who finished 3rd in the regular season?

I believe Johnson County Westside on the boys side.

I'm pretty sure their leading scorer played against Moutainburg on Tuesday night.  But he got hurt again sometime time in the second half and didn't play the rest of the game.

Meh...Mountainburg ended up winning by 10.  Not saying had he not gotten hurt Mountainburg would've won, but it's still not a guarantee Westside would've won.  If Westside had been up by 10-15 points and cruising, maybe, but it was a one possession game and a game that had been close up until he got hurt.  Not to mention Mountainburg beat them at home earlier in the season, so they had shown they were capable of beating Westside when healthy.

It is unfortunate, though.  I hate to see kids get hurt at anytime, but it's even worse during postseason play.

Congrats to Magazine.  Their boys have I think pretty clearly been the second best team in the conference the last couple of weeks and, after Decatur's loss tonight, I guess you could say they're clearly the best team right now.  Or, at lest they're playing the best basketball at the right time.

It is about time for Mountainburg to hit their stride.   I had them picked to win it all at the start of the season, and still think they are the team to beat.

Yeah, they looked real good tonight.  If they don't get in too mch foul trouble and shoot the three ball like they're capable, they've got as good of a chance as anyone.  It helped getting to play in front of the home crowd, but this was by far their most comfortable victory against a really good Magazine team in four tries.  They threw a box-and-one at Magazine's best player for the first time this year, and it worked.  Both teams started off on fire.  One of Magazine's other players hit a three on their first possession and I think as a team they started off 4/5 or 3/4 from the floor with a couple of threes.  Mountainburg had three different girls hit a three and they started of 4/4 from the floor, and it was 11-9 just a few minutes into the game.  Then Mountainburg's press and box-and-one started getting to them and the forced some turnovers.  I'm sure Magazine will be better prepared for the box-and-one if they play each other again in the regional finals.

3 Hackett
4 Union Christian

Boys
1 Magazine
2 Hackett
3 Decatur
4 Mountainburg

I thought that UCA girls beat JC Westside and in doing so earned their spot in the Regional tournament while knocking out JC Westside?
