87-80

I think that’s about right.  I think this is probably the best 2 teams in the state playing for it all.  I think there were a couple of teams from that region who would have beaten Yates due to the Lions’ system.  This should be strength on strength. I expect it to be close and hopefully the Tigers pull away in the end.  Carter kids were saying they wanted silsbee.  Be careful what you wish for...

Certainly hoping for a Silsbee win.

Carter is a really good shooting team from what I gather. Silsbee played a really good shooting team the first game of the year and barely lost. I'd like to think we're a lot better now than we were for that game. They don't seem to have any real giants on their team like the two that lost today did.

I'll take Silsbee by 10.

Yates was better than Carter! But Carter is not a pushover. If they try to run with us, Silsbee wins by 20. If they sprint back to a half court defense. Silsbee wins by 10-15

Carter is definitely a step up from the opponent today.  Silsbee could’ve had a bad game today or gotten into foul trouble and still won.  If silsbee has a bad game against carter, they could definitely lose.  I still definitely expect them to pull it out, but carter is a really solid team.

Not this year, no. Carter played some close games with Wilmer-Hutchins this year. They lost to them once by 13 points.

Silsbee had their way with Wilmer-Hutchins a year ago in the Dallas tournament. WH might be a lot better than they were back then, I don't know.

That's about as common as it gets.

EDIT: Actually it was last year they played WH. Also forgot about Center.

Carter shoots very very very well from the outside. They hit 12 three pointers yesterday at shot like 65% from the field. Silsbee will need to close out on them and make them shoot bad shots. Defense, defense, defense, will get it done Tigers!!!! Crash those boards and make free throws!!!

Carter will get their 3’s.  Fabulous shooting.  But the Tigers are on another level right now.  Call it schoolyard if you like but I call it improvisational brilliance.  If they have that going at a given moment it’s a real thing of beauty.  If you’ll excuse the hokey metaphor, it’s like a tiger stalking in the jungle waiting to pounce.

One thing for sure, the Tigers would have put Seminole away a lot sooner than Carter did.  Any objective observer who was there yesterday would agree with that.  That may not mean anything, but it’s true.  The 19 point win over Somerset was 19 because Coach Sig wanted it that way.

My bruh n law is a Carter alum.  He loves to play pick up basketball, but he never talks about Carter.  This came as a surprise to him & everybody.  But it is here and it is real.  When Lincoln beat Duncanville by 11 I think, the same Duncanville that put up a 30 piece on the Silsbee Tigers, I thought for sure it would be Lincoln coming out of reg 2.  During the season Carter was making noise, but I was waiting to see what they would do with Lincoln. Sure enough Lincoln won, then beat them again in district.  But it is hard to be a good team three times in a season.  Silsbee is playing good ball right now.  It should be a good game.

    • Just to expound a little further, so you are not confused...I, along with so many others, are laughing at your desperation. You are working overtime, nay, double even triple time, trying to convince normal people Trump was bad for the country. His policies provided for peace all over the world, low gas prices, low food prices, energy independence, closed border, low inflation, record low unemployment, and on and on and on. You try to counter this narrative by saying unemployment skyrocketed on his watch. You said this knowing full well the unemployment rate went up due to Covid. Your narrative is just so laughable, to the point of side-splitting hilarity. Who would even attempt this asinine narrative? Now, even if you get past the utter stupidity of that MSNBC talking point, you provide another side-splitting hilarious tidbit of evidence to back your claim of Trump being bad for the country. You actually tried to tie the stock market going down to Trump...after Covid. You, I, and everybody else knows the stock market was flourishing under Trump...until Covid hit. This argument is just as bad as the other one. Again, who would even attempt this narrative? The only thing you could remotely muster that had any sliver of truthfulness, is that spending increased. Sure, Trump rebuilt the military and gave them a deserved raise. But he also had to shut down the government due to Democrats demanding an even more, and very detrimental, increase in spending. And in a true extremely exaggerated fashion, you proclaim that spending "skyrocketed". Again, who would even attempt this narrative? I think I can smell the desperation. Do you have any other whoppers to contribute?
    • He was injured but has returned and he decided not to play baseball this year.
    • There's some truth to that.......some.
    • The AD's job is to win in football. Everything else is window dressing. If the football team is winning the rest can go up in smoke.
