I have seen both of these teams play, Pickett has a very good, smart point guard and two very fundamentally sound posts. However i don't think they have the firepower to hang with Grace. I'll take Grace by 14
Grace 62
Pickett- 48
I was at this game as a neutral fan but i believe this was the worst officiating i have seen in my entire life at any level. You may think i am exaggerating but if you were at the game you wouldn't think so. It definitely benefited Wartburg due to their style of play, and most of the calls went their way.
Sadly, I believe the coach's mother passed away.
I hate to say i told you so about Rockwood winning by 35... but i have to..
Told you so
final was 82-47
Rockwood will beat Wartburg by 15 or so. Last game they turned the ball over 35 times, yet they still managed to win by 7. That should've been a 30 point game. Look for Rockwood to jump out to an early lead and not give it up. They have been playing really well lately.
Wait a sec here.. I'm from east TN and don't know much about Clay Co., but are you guys saying they have 19 yr olds playing for them? That were intentionally held back for basketball?
This was the best game I've seen all year. Rockwood really came to play tonight and established themselves as a contender to beat Cosby. There are some great players on both of those teams and I can't wait for the rematch next Saturday night. That will be the one that counts. Congrats to all the all-tourney players and Gilmore... I don't see how he wasn't on the all-tourney team after nailing 5 threes in the game.
I think rockwood will play cosby a lot tougher this time than people think. Yes they were blown out in both the previous meetings but they will come to play this time. Chris Willis has really stepped up lately giving Rockwood a 3-headed monster inside with 6'3 peddicord, 6'4 hackler, and 6'5 willis. With all that said i still think cosby will win, they have too much firepower. But this will be a much closer game.
Cosby by 6
This change is due to the lack of seating at TSD. Come the semi-finals and finals the place will be packed and one side of bleachers wouldn't cut it. Assuming Rockwood and Cosby both advance to the finals... there will be tons of people there because i know both cosby and rockwood travel well so it should be a packed house. Anyone know anything about the South Doyle gym? size, floor, bleachers?
