redbirdfan Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 LA fans- get ready for an up tempo style of play when you play BTW /ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> They'll apply some pressure in the full court but extend the defense in the half court and will trap and cause problems for the team's guards.. Westview had a horrible shooting night at BTW and only made 2 3-point baskets out of 15 or so attemtps.. By contrasts BTW attempted over 30 free throws and made around half of them- so not that great of a free throw shooting team. Tucker is a handful on the interior and Hughes is one of the quicker guards to come out of Memphis /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> BTW is a quality club- but if LA can handle the pressure and control tempo, they should be okay.. Good Luck ! /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat 1970 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Just going by information found on this website, BT Washington has only played 1 team all season that had a strength rating in the top 10 which was Westview and that was in the sub-state game. Westview was #5 and BT got to the state by beating them. No one else that they whipped all season had a strength rating of below 25th. LA is #6 in strength. LA can win this game. It will be close I think. I am going to pick LA by 3 points. Wildcat 1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better worry about the two wide bodies down in the post as they proved they can score around the basket........ Actually looking forward to seeing if BTW is for real or if Substate was a fluke.......pretty sure they are for real. Should be a good game.

If it did, BTW wouldn't have beaten Westview. This is tournament time so stop relying on the SOS to determine how good or bad a team is. BTW by 6.... /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know you can throw all the stuff about strength and all when its tournament time. Hog-Eye is a tough team, BTW will find that out. BTW has not been thru the wash like LA has.

Wildcat 1970 The team that excutes their game plan the best will advance to the second round.

LA's quickness should balance out BTW's wide body post play unless they are 6'8" like the Farris girl from Smith Co. They didn't fare too well against her this year but still won the games.

senator Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 la wil win by 7 because of there quickness and dicipline mathews will be the differance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WannaBLikeBeech Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I really don't think there's a team out there that wants it more than LA. If they will play their game, and shake their jitters early on, they will pull out the win. But if they play sloppy and get frustrated and hang their heads it will go the other way. I still say LA by 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
