Antioch 86 Wilson Central 24 Substate Game

[cobrafan90]

Wilson Central was never in it........................Antioch's 2-3 matchup zone confused them. WC looked timid and tentative. Antioch had at least 10 dunks.

hmm..... can you say underrated?

Antioch gets all the attention they deserve. They are not underrated.

[ballin13]

it was 6 dunks with a few vandy dunks thrown in.. they had like 13 attempts though.. if they can master the art of the alley-oop pass it would be so sick

 

central started undercutting the guys when they went up to slam it a few times... couple of those guys could of got hurt

24 points in a sectional game??? So sad and so pitiful! /ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />

No, the starters played into the 4th qtr, with the end of Antioch's bench.

Could you elaborate please? Which Team are you referring to?

[bballfanatic23]

Antioch is the most talented team in the tournament. Wilson Central is not a bad high school team. Anybody know if Upton is being recruited? He is definitely good enough. I know Wells could go big time if he was eligible and McAdoo could play D-I, if he were not playing D-I football. Williams can shoot the rock. Who can match up with them?

 

Ridgeway and White Station are the only two teams with a chance.

You know, the mercy rule is one of the worst ideas ever brought to the sporting world outside of the diamond. Football is debatable.

 

You're talking about two teams in the Sweet 16 of Class AAA. Obvioulsy Wilson Central was in over their head, but why all of a sudden should there be a mercy rule just because Antioch is THAT good? In AA, Austin-East clobbered Unicoi County 72-29 on the road and there's not a lot of talk about a mercy rule.

 

The run rule in diamond sports is not set in stone, but is a gentleman's agreement between coaches during the time they swap lineup cards...and at that once you get to a certain level there is no run rule. Football in Tennessee now has a 35-point lead mercy rule where the clock keeps going. The similarity is that football and baseballl/softball have possessions or innings for the trailing team to actually get something else for themselves...but only in baseball/softball can a trailing team have a big rally to take the run rule out of effect. In football 8 points is the most a team can score on any one possession...and I can't remember if the rule gives a provision to put normal rule back in when the margin is less than 35.

 

Anyway, putting in a mercy rule is stupid in basketball. It is constant flow for the most part except for out of bounds plays and fouls. Wilson Central is probably pretty embarrassed about getting dinged like that, but at least they got to play on Monday. There were a ton of schools that didn't play in that game for a shot to go to the 'Boro.

The mercy rule was definitely needed on this night. WC's bench was a huge dropoff from their starters. Antioch's bench was better than WC's starters. Antioch would've scored 100 pts, with 10 more dunks if not for the mercy rule. WC was hacking for no reason and undercutting as early as the 3rd quarter. The mercy rule allows coaches who are winning to pull starters without worry. I think the mercy rule is needed. Do you think fans, refs, and teams want to sit through a 60 point drubbing, why prolong the inevitable. WC was ready to get out of there.

the run rule in high school baseball is set in stone. that is an actual rule. I dont think the mercy rule in basketball is that bad it doesnt start until the 4th quarter and if you are down 35 in the fourth quarter of a high school basketball game its is almost understood that you are not coming back. think about this WC only scored 24 point the entire game so there is no way you could possibly think they would erase a 35 point deficit in the span of 8 minutes
