I played on the 93-94 state tournament teams that played in
Murfreesboro. I don't like to compare teams from different eras. (93-95 compared to today). As far as choking goes, it is hard to take a bunch of boys out of Adamsville and travel 3 hours away to the city, stay in a hotel for a couple of days, and play teams who we have no idea who they are. In the 93-94 losses we played teams that were staying at home and traveling to the game. (both within 1 hr)
There is one regional tournament that is played at the Murphey Center. Doesnt seem fair to me. I'm not making
excuses, but if those games were played at Oman Arena the outcome WOULD have been different.
