I mentioned that Atascocita’s style of play would not be favorable during the playoffs when the game slows down. You can only hit so many perimeter shots 

I figured Pas Memorial would be a tough out with a 6ft 10 LSU commit on their roster lol

Pretty much.

Since the playoffs now include 4 teams there is no longer a bye in the first round for the district champion. A lot of those warmup games involved the 1st place teams not wanting to have too much time off.

Also the UIL changed rules about how many games a team can play in a season before playoffs. Teams now play their quota and cannot play a warmup game. Most teams that play them now are teams who went deep in football playoffs and are looking to get more games under their belt. 

There are also teams that haven't met their quota of games and had a pretty easy district schedule and look for a tough match up before playoffs. But those are few and far between.

Coaches have just got out of the notion of playing warmup games these days.

That makes sense. Whats the regular season quota? 35 games 

Are playoff warm up games no longer a thing? I guess since 4 teams make the playoffs these days that doesn’t happen anymore 

Just make one school like PA. It will cause some people to move to Lumberton, Nederland etc but who cares

You realize that the emergence of BU and the closure of Ozen and Central was NOT under Thomas’ watch, right?  

Yes. I am product of BISD. Ozen should've never been created. It opened my senior year at WB (Fall 1997) That was Thomas' decision. Things were fine like they where. Clearly someone was in his ear, as he was not a Beaumont guy. The wanted to bring the old Pear orchard high back. 

Carroll Thomas started all of this debauchery. Should just still be WB and Central. See what happens when people who shouldn’t make decisions make them.

I know what he can do and what he’s capable of but I wasn’t impressed last night …… AT ALL ! I didn’t see #1 player in the nation 

Did you see it now? 

Tre Johnson is future pro. That’s all I have to say

There's no free broadcast of the game ?

No

Dunk count should be 2-0 lol

Still showing watch later I want to see the national anthem lmao

UofH might be the move, but remember his cousin is at UW. 

Likely won’t be after entire staff is let go 

With Washington coach Mike Hopkins likely out after an abysmal 16-16 season… I see Yates being let out of his letter of intent. With Chappell from Bmt on staff for now at UT, I would like to see him there. UH will be a great option also

I looked really close at this Brennan team and they have played some tonight games and they have nice size.  But I’m just not sold on of anything from that region prepares them for our pressure defense.  Maybe I’m wrong, we’ll see tomorrow night.

And the fact they have major contributions from two sophomores and two freshman 

Brennan not lacking confidence

Still went by win percentage. Top two teams are seeded off win percentage, then a coin flip decides who those two play.

If you look at the other classification match ups, you will see they did not use rankings.

This is how UIL has done the pairings for years.

Had San Marcos made it.. BU would’ve potentially played Lake Highlands in the Friday semifinals with a better overall record (39-3) and SM would’ve been the 2 seed

The UIL went by ranking not by record.

Which ranking?

San Antonio is cool. But there is nothing like the state tournaments at the Drum for all those years 

BU by 10 if they play determined lol 

now this potential Lake Highlands game will be hard to predict

Maxprep is not always right but it has BU vs Brennan , Lake Highland vs Desoto with TBA later

That is because they are basing it on the UIL bracket that puts Region 1 v 2 and 3 v 4

while this is the case in football. Basketball doesn’t work that way. Same thing happened last year and I had to explain it just like I’m doing now

I thought the number 1 seed (team with best record) faces the 4th seed (team with the worse record) in the state semifinals…

Yes Desoto has 8 losses and the worst record therefore they are playing BU

Brennan beat San Marcos?  I didn’t see that happening.

By almost 30. 82-54

Looks like it will be Desoto on Friday night in San Antonio 

BU by 15 at least. We owe CLISD 🫵🏽
