Does anyone know where I can find the link for the Humboldt/Mt Pleasant game?

I understand that it really is the best way, but I agree the that adjoining regions like you said should not play first.

Oh i understand your view, I have seen it any college ball just not in high school, not crowing at all just letting you know I am not sure that would work, but who knows since I have only seen it once. Not looking for any tips but your team runs this defense? cause if so I would like to come see your game.

Thanks. So I know we cant change the draw but just for fun how do you think they sould set the bracket? Let the coaches, TSSAA officials, and some media vote on it or what?

Remember now we have been to the boro three of the past four years and our seniors may not have played alot but have the experience.

The diamond box and one would definitely not work at all cause like red said too many weapons. You might sut down one with it but with the diamond backside rebound is open all day and too many good looks are there if you spread the floor right. Plus I have not seen many high school teams in the last ten years that are disciplined enough to run that kind of tough defense, not saying you cant just that those are not easy.

I was there as well, where were you sitting cause I was there as well and should have stayed and chatted with you about the draw?

Thank you for an honest reply, but we both know we would have rather seen this game in the finals, just cause the atmosphere on Saturday with the packed house and everyone else watching! Gotta love March Madness!

I know what everyone from the West thinks about it, but I want to hear from the other teams in what they think about the Humboldt/Manassas game first round. And please look at it from a realistic non-biased view. How do you see the game being played out and winners and who you would like to play?

Legend we all know this is what you wanted and in some way some Humboldt fans might have wanted the same, but give us a brief summary of how you see the game playing out, assuming both teams play to their full potential, limited turnovers, great officiating, and so on....

Hey Legend just curious did you go to the draw today?

Humboldt is not going to lay down just cause we got them in the first round, we wanted to play them did not wnat them to be put out early. To be the best, you have to take out the best, but why would anyone in there right mind want to play what we consider the best team first. We want the tv rating to be high so we could catch them in the finals, assuming we both could get there. We are not griping cause thats the way it happened, just stated that we would rather play in the finals. Its all good though, good luck to all teams.

Great analysis of the zone there Dickie V, I mean frankieD! Lol... I too feel like it will be zone for them but maybe Legend can enlighten us but he will think we are looking for their "secrets." If they do go man, I give Humboldt the edge cause whoever Buckner is not guarding will have some good one on one looks.

Oh I understand that you cant make everyone happy, just being realistic about it. Lets not get ahead of ourselves about winner being the champs, but they will be heavily favored. No disrespect to the other teams, but I know for a fact that Lake Co still deserves some respect and I hate it that we cant have like a 16 team tourney cause they would have a great chance of winning the bottom part of the bracket.

I agree, not saying Humboldt will win, so Legend dont freak out. I do think Humboldt might have a slight edge, and I know they want to avenge the lost from last season. Also, I am interested to see how much Buckner has improved from last season, cause its not every year that we get to see the #30 overall player in the nation play in a Single A game. Good luck to both teams.

Lets just play out some scenarios real quick just hypothetical situations, nobody get jumpy. Lets say Manassass beats Humboldt on a last second shot by buckner in double ot 85-84. They play Grace Baptist and beat them by 5 in a well fought game, Temple runs through the bottom of the bracket without breaking a sweat, and then (still hypothetical) Manassas beat Temple by 30 in the Finals. How can you say that the order does not matter? That would be an example of how the top of the bracket is stopped and one of the other two (Grace Or Humboldt) should have been on the other side. Like I said already let UCONN and Carolina play in the first round of the tourney, its still the same right, no order matters. Just observing....

Man i have no idea, i think this year is a complete toss up and some random 5 seed might win it. As a carolina fan, I like their chances if they get lawson healthy, but lets not stray away from the shenanigans in the boro! Lets all pray for a Humboldt/Manassass 7 OT game so we can trump the Uconn/Syracuse game!

Well I hope you get it figured out cause I know this is the game you wanted to see, just not this early. And you would think the TSSAA would get smart and at least push this game til the afternoon so they can get that $$$$! Looking forward to this one red. Not going to complain about the road to the finals for every team, but you Temple fans have to see this from another point of view. You cannot say that you have to win 3 games either way, you cannot compare grace baptist, manassas, and humboldt to summertown, cloudland, and clarksv. academy, no disrespect to them, but these are the three hottest teams in the state.

Retirement, break it's all the same to me. Anyway, hey on selection sunday they should go ahead and pair north carolina and uconn and pitt and louiville on the first day so we can go ahead and get it over with right?????

Just so no one thinks anything crazy is going on and that it was all rigged, they let a 5 year boy draw from a fish bowl!

Good morning red, i just left the draw and decided to come out of retirement after seeing the draw frist hand! wow.....

Legend were you at the drawing cause I was there as well and would have loved to talk some with you?

I agree with the top three, but the thing that bothers me is the way the tournamnet is set up. These three teams were the best and they were all on the same side of the bracket. Coming into the tournamnet everyone knew that Temple and Humbodlt were the teams to beat. I would like to see a ranking format so that you can avoid the two best teams playing each other in the semis.

This was a great game for the second half. The way the second half was played was the way I thought the whole thing would have been. Well I guess I take the first hit since the other Humboldt fans have not had time to get home. First off, congratulations to Temple, y'all played great and I was very impressed with how you played. Skogen is the real deal and y'all came out on fire in the first half. I was not underestimating y'all I just thought Humboldt would have won. But, I hope y'all win it all because y'all showed a lot of class and played the game the way it was to supposed. Congratulations to humboldt on a great season and I really enjoyed watching you guys play this year. If Humbodlt would have played the way they did in the second half in the first, I think they would have won. Y'all saw the real Humboldt team in the second half, but hey you have to play two halves to win the game. They dug a ditch to deep. It took a lot of heart, but also a lot of energy to make that kind of a comeback. This is not a complaint or the reason they lost, but I was not impressed by the officiating, it was below par. One question for the Temple fans and those who saw the game: Did you agree with the intentional foul in the second quarter? I am not going to take anything away from Temple, y'all won outright and best of luck tomorrow!

Man, frankie d! You are feeling confident today! I hope that is the score but I am going to stick with my prediction: Humbodlt 68 Temple 58.
