Briarcrest defeated MUS. I heard that Harding lost to Saint Benedict. anyother news?

D2 posts have been somewhat slower these days...of course Harding posters haven't been quite so active, so that puts a big dent in the activity.

in the east, knox catholic just upset top ranked nd 47-46, and webb defeated baylor as well. the final standings will come down to the wire. catholic is playing very well, as well as nd and mccallie.

Middle Region is as follows

 

BA 6-0 - playing very well, lots of size, look out for Bradon Wright

Father Ryan 4-2 - will be BA's only challenge throughout state

BGA 2-4 - playing better than record indicates, look out for Cole Rose

MBA 2-4 - struggles the entire season, still a possible threat in postseason because they've had close games

USN 2-4 - recent play has team with confidence, Matt Addison is still getting his points

 

Others:

Pope John Paul II

St. Andrews-Sewanee

Middle Tenn. Christian

 

Should be an interesting tourny - but it's at BA, and I expect BA to be to much on their home court

 

BA and Father Ryan should both be at state, along with Notre Dame and Lasuanne (my upset pick)

with the reigon tourney at BA, i would have to side with Harry100 in saying that BA will dominate because of the inside power. They have 10 players who could start, so when one set goes out, another completely fresh starting lineup comes in. With two huge inside forces like King Dunlap and phenom Brandon Wright, this is a great team. Also, look out for fresh. point guard Josh Bone, he can shoot the three or drive and make things happen on the inside. However, Father Ryan will be looking to avenge their two losses to BA in the tourney, and MBA is always a potential threat. But, having watched both F. Ryan v. BA games, and seeing BA's dominance on the inside, i will say BA will prevail, with a serious shot at winning state.

Good picks Wes. I might have to go with ECS getting in over Christian Brothers, and I think USN has a good shot at beating out BGA. Should be fun!

[WesVLT]

Well, West Tennessee's 3rd spot was a shot in the dark if anything, so I just compared schedules and made a slightly educated guess. As far as USN and BGA, I could definitely see it going either way, but I think Cole Rose can carry the 'Cats if he stays out of foul trouble.

 

I can't wait to see how it all turns out!
