ScottA, not sure what you're basing your picks on. KCHS and Baylor are a combined 3-6 vs. the rest of the teams in the field, with their only wins coming against each other.

 

WesVols, my heart is with you, but my head is not. Although BA has the talent to win it all, they are not playing very well down the stretch. I see Bishop Byrne over the winner of the Briarcrest v. BGA senifinal game. (My guess is it will be Briarcrest).

 

Here are the records of the teams involved, against each other:

 

Bishop Byrne 2-0

BGA 6-1 (only loss to MBA)

BA 5-3 (all three losses v. BGA)

KCHS 2-2 (both wins over Baylor)

MBA 2-4

CBHS 1-3

Briarcrest 1-3

Baylor 1-4

The BA/Baylor score is no big suprise, pretty much what I expected. Though I have never seen Byrne play, I think the MBA matchup will be very interesting. MBA plays tough D and if they can get shots to fall then they could pull off the upset. With that said I still think Byrne will win, but it would not suprise me to see a close game.

[ubankit]

does anyone out there know the score for the Bishop Byrne vs. MBA game? the game started at 7:30. just wondering how it is going?

How do all you DII fans like that dark Allen Arena? It is the worst playing facility around. If the Mustangs make it to sub-state and get a home game, it will be terrible if they have to play there. There are no lights on the ceiling; they all shine from about 65 degree angles on the side. You are blinded when taking a corner three point shot.
