How weird....# 8 ranked Oak Ridge plays at # 1 ranked Cleveland on the Tuesday the 11th. How about both Maryville and Oak Ridge pin losses on our Blue Raider friends?

That would be awesome. Gonna be tough. I was at the Cleveland game at OR last month. They are really good.

Cleveland is very good but they are due for a loss. Maryville only lost to them by one or two points without football players at Cleveland in December. It was a low scoring game as I recall- Maryville played at a much slower tempo down there than they have been playing lately. Anxious to see if it is an up tempo game at MHS. Point guard matchup of Joe Anderson ( Furman) vs Jacobi Wood (Belmont) is as good as it gets this year in ET.

Up tempo plays into Cleveland’s hands, imo but Maryville is definitely more suited to play an up and down the court game than they were in December. I would like to see a fast paced game as a spectator. 

Point guard matchup of Joe Anderson (Furman) vs Jacobi Wood (Belmont) is as good as it gets this year in ET. Both guys have good supporting casts, too.

Not sure that Maryville wants to run with Cleveland. Cleveland is a running team and slowing the pace down is the best way to beat us. We could be due for a loss........ but it ain’t happened yet. We have won 47-48 games with our only loss coming from James Wiseman and those boys from Memphis. We also play better on the road than at home. Will be a fun game to watch

Cleveland played very selfish in that game against Maryville. Should be a good game. Cleveland seems to play more focused on the road.

Does anybody know if the Cleveland at Maryville game will be streamed live?

I totally agree with you on running with Cleveland- it’s not advisable.If it was a post season win or go home scenario, I think Maryville would play at a much slower tempo. Coach Eldridge’s teams always seem to have the ability to dictate the tempo of the game depending on the opposition. 

However, since it is not a win or go home scenario and the game is being played on Maryville’s home court, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Maryville play much faster than they did at Cleveland.

Any idea if the game has been postponed? Cleveland schools were dismissed early yesterday because of the weather.
