7AAA Predictions/Questions

[eagle79]

Okay, this should be a very interesting month for the fans of 7AAA. The standing at present are as follows:

1) Oakland (9-1) remaining: White Co., Lebanon

2) Blackman (7-4) remaining: Warren Co.

3) Cookeville (7-5) finished

4) Lebanon (6-4) remaining: Riverdale, Oakland

5) Riverdale (5-6) remaining: Lebanon

6) Warren Co. (3-7) remaining: Blackman, White Co.

7) White Co. (0-10) remaining: Oakland, Warren Co.

OK, this is where it gets confusing...

Oakland will finish 11-1 after two wins. Blackman will take a loss to Warren Co. and end up tied at 7-5 with Cookeville. Lebanon will take two losses, leaving them at 6-6 tied with Riverdale. Warren Co. will win their remaining two, ending 5-7. White Co. simply doesn't have the talent to stay with any of these teams.

 

Now, after that happens, it really doesn't matter who between Lebanon and Riverdale calls #4 or 5, they'll play each other in the tourney, with Lebanon winning, then getting beat by Oakland. What matters is who wins the tie breaker between Cookeville and Blackman. Whoever wins will easily defeat White Co. with the other playing a very tough game against Warren Co. This is the mystery half of the bracket. Any of these three teams could come out of this half. This should be VERY interesting.

The only thing you got wrong Eagle was the Lebanon Riverdale game. The little point guard from Lebanon will shut the freshman from Riverdale down and Lebanon will win. If that happens, it gets even more interesting. If that happens, Blackman, Cookeville, and Lebanon will be 7-5, no idea who wins that tiebreaker. Riverdale and Warren Co. will be 5-7, I don't know who wins that tie-breaker either, but with this scenario, all tie-breakers matter.

The District Tournament will be held at Blackman this year and I expect that no matter how the regular season ends the title game will be between Oakland and Blackman. That game should be much closer than the last two (19, 43) but I don't think Blackman will be able to pull off a victory.

If I can recall, last time Riverdale played Lebanon the little freshman from Riverdale was playin a pretty solid game before getting injured in the third quarter. He drew three fouls early on Lebanons guard. Only time will tell for tomorrows match-up. I say Riverdale wins, finishes 4th in district and keeps rollin from there.

#6

Oakland's shooting guard Ro Murray may be out for the season so that could effect the District Tournament. He injured his ankle so severely in a pick up game the doctors were not able to tell if it is broken or just sprained. At best he will be available for the Regionals and at worst he is gone for the season.

How long ago did this happen? If he isn't playing that might hurt oakland because he has stepped in and played some excellent ball this year.

It happened two days ago. He has been Oakland's fourth leading scorer and has provided a number of clutch performances. It definately hurts Oakland going into the post-season.
