Good choice among his final 5. If I could have picked among those for him, that would have been my choice. Although USF would have been pretty funny.

Silsbee would be a double digit favorite against B'port imo. They are a very good team that is playing well. Not near the talent Silsbee has though. Their best guard, Rossow, would be about the 5th best guard on Silsbee's team. And although they do have a big (Quick) with some talent, I think he would struggle with Silsbee's pressure. The big threat, as usual, will be whoever comes out of the metroplex.

Silsbee played the third unit the entire fourth quarter (I believe) and sat back in a zone the entire quarter. Far from trying to run up the score. I've only seen one fan from another school in the district complain and I think it was refuted fairly quickly. In terms of the region, realistically the only team beating Silsbee is Silsbee. That's not a slight against the other schools but if Silsbee takes care of business, they should not have a game that goes down to the wire. I still think Yates is the biggest "threat," the game with North Forest notwithstanding. If NF beats them again on Friday, I will recant. But Yates has one of the best guards in the region in Jock Hughes and THE best forward in the region in the uber-athletic 6-7 Mitchell Seriale. That being said, you need more than that to beat Silsbee and I'm not sure they have enough other pieces to get the job done.

AAW said Tigers finished with 14 3s. Seemed like 40!

25 turnovers at half...at half. Good grief.

I guess some people need a game slow enough that they can keep up...how's that? but I do like your chess analogy...nicely done. (Although I guess the same would be applied to checkers...)

Young man from Silsbee nailed the National Anthem. Wow.

Dove and I would be prohibitive favorites obviously lol

JV at 6 and varsity following?

That's a stretch lol

Briles new defense strategy:

And for the record, this was, by margin of victory, the closest game of the first half of district for Silsbee and they didn't score 100. I could be wrong but I didn't see one person from the other 4 schools whining about running the score up. That might tell you something...

Tough to decide how to spend a finite amount of bond money. LCM is definitely upgrading their "digs" though. Really good district over there imo.

Good grief. Between the sour grapes and the rehashing of one of the most disgusting things of this athletic year, somebody lock this thread already. It's only going to sink lower from here...

Most of the network types would take the opposite. At least those concerned with ratings But to each his own. It is our national pastime and I always enjoyed playing it. For me, watching it is slightly preferable to watching paint dry unless I have a specific interest in the game. But lots of good teams in the area and wish them all a healthy and successful season!

For some I guess. Based on viewership, baseball gets about half the eyeballs as basketball. But it is still nudging out hockey in this country so I guess that's something

As for Silsbee starters, I don't know why that matters to be honest. Every player on Silsbee's team would be a starter for BC, and honestly the rest of the teams in the district for that matter. Silsbee is on a mission to try and win a championship, not spare opposing fans' feelings. Signed, An opposing fan

Not just WOS....

Beat me to it. I was gonna say "too late."

I predict these two will split their two district matchups. I will take the home team in each, so I will take WOS in this one in a good, close game.

Yep and yep. Tyler is a gimme and Vincent was easily the best defensive player at his position this year. And kudos to AAW for the Draper vote. That kid was one of the most impressive players I saw this year.
