I agree 100% They do so well on the defensive end but their lack of shooting and consistent offense is definitely their downfall. But they are not talented enough to not play hard. Titans could be a dangerous team in the playoffs when it's win or season over. Hopefully that's urgent enough for them.

Final 41-33 Porter

Anyone have a result for this one?

Now that I can agree on. But what I have seen is that West Brook can adjust very well to the slow down game. They don't get too flustered with it. Like I said, some teams defensively can make you slow down but also a team's offense can do the same. If a team has great guard play (doesn't turn it over in the full court which leads to transition buckets) then they are able to play at their pace. I just think in the long run (playoffs) it's much better to be able to adapt to a slower pace than trying to play out of control just to make it a faster pace game. If you cannot turn a team over with your pressure defense (full, 3/4, half court, man, zone trap) then you better figure out a way to play half court offense.

Aggie lack of offense in 2nd half lost this one. tu made adjustments offensively in 2nd half. Didn't hurt that they lit it up from three land in 2nd half. Horns went to the FT line 17 times, making 14 while Aggies were 3/8 at FT line. A&M had no business losing this game just like they had no business beating Ole Miss Wednesday night.

You can copy me the next two pickems so that you can right the ship.

But is this West Brook team really an up tempo team? I say this because they have only scored 70 points or more just 10 times this season. 80 or more just 3 times. Looking at their entire schedule, the vast majority of the teams they have played are good defensive teams with patient offenses that don't turn it over. That's what you normally see at the 5A level and above. Up temp just isn't as effective at the higher classifications. It's very common at the state tourney for the 5A and 6A games to be on the lower side of scoring. Lot's of 50 & 60 point games. rarely do you see 70+ games anymore. I have only seen 4 West Brook games this year. I just don't see that team as up tempo.

Final 49-41 Sabine Pass

Some people just have to critique. When you play tough opponents (and Nederland at their place is) then style points go out the window. Just win baby.
