[quote name="alice" post="958975" timestamp="1296600267"] If it is a joke why is EC dumped into this pile? Best I can figure our basketball program is consistantly better than most, along with our football, tennis, UIL, concession stand, and most anything else. ;D ;D GO BUCS [/quote] Sounds like a dream land!! I think i'm moving there. BTW-Where is EC located??

Ozen wins 57-56 in OT.

[quote name="VP05" post="959292" timestamp="1296615554"] How in the world did that happen?? [/quote] Ozen missing 3 players tonight.

Headed to OT. What a late minute come-back!

Game tied at 50.

36 seconds remaining. Vidor leading 50-45.

Vidor leads 41-38

ozen cut the lead to two...

upset in the making!!!

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="958862" timestamp="1296590395"] No doubt the Tigers will win!!!! Tigers by 4 [/quote] I too will take Silsbee to win....by 6!

[quote name="tappedout" post="958925" timestamp="1296593472"] Abe, Maybe you don't know what you are seeing when you are watching the games. Kind of funny that other people has seen exactly what I have seen. English is a very good coach and will have his team prepared. I hope they do make a long run in the playoff's because I would love to follow them. I just answered the question and what I see. [/quote] First of all, I NEVER said they will win state, did I? I said that I agree that their best chance to get out of the region is against Ball. Coach English knows how to prepare, yes. He will have them ready. He knows his chances r best against Ball-he told me! I watched them beat Ball this past summer, so I KNOW they can 'hang' w/them. Again, I concur that Yates is a 'different beast' all together. I don't know anyone who wants to face them. So...what's Ur point exactly??

[quote name="texas0770" post="958787" timestamp="1296587452"] Heard the Nederland vs Livingston game might be cancelled due to weather conditions... [/quote] The game is rescheduled for Wednesday.

[quote name="cbosha" post="958683" timestamp="1296581062"] Um... sir, he does hit 90% of his freethrows. What planet are you living on? NBA players have excellent freethrow stats. [/quote] Um sir, no they do not! Which NBA r U watching?? There may be 5-6 players (out of over 300 players) in the NBA who shoot btr than 90%. If this kid makes 9/10 then he's a phenom. He's prob closer to 80% in reality- which is still excellent.  The best FT shooter i've seen this year is Dotey from PN-G. He's likely shooting in the 80-85% range (no I don't have the facts to back that up).

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="957781" timestamp="1296437875"] Oh, and one of those Silsbee wins over West Brook was the day after West Brook beat Nederland..... I'm just sayin' ;) [/quote] Touché!

[quote name="cbosha" post="940283" timestamp="1293818711"] He averages between 16-18 pts. Lately he has been averaging about 3 steals per game. He makes about 90% of his free throws, and assists, let's just say I can't keep up with them! [/quote] 90%??? Come on!! Find his actual percentage and then inform us. Don't throw up a number like 90%. NBA players don't hit 90%.

I have been to several of Nederland's games this season. They have a good team but when you put a lot of pressure on them, they struggle. I'm just saying 20-4A is down this season and when the playoff's it will not last long. I hope I'm wrong because I like watching this team play. [/quote] they struggle, really?? Enlighten me please. How many TOs do they average when they are pressured?  Did U watch them deal w/pressure against every team they played in the YMBL Tourney and every team who presses them?? How about refer to an instance instead of speaking out of your ears about generalities?? [/quote] Nederland has played some terrible games this year and they were under pressure for most of them.. West Brook was one of the worst and Memorial was just as bad.. Turnovers like crazy.. Even some games Nederland has won, they have looked bad.. Nederland is a good team, but not great.. At least, not yet ;) They have more potential than most teams around here of being great Nederland's success will be determined by their lay-out of getting to Austin, in other words, how many times will they have to play G-Ball, LaMarque, or Yates.. To be completely honest, Nederland can beat LaMarque and Ball. Those teams just put better players than you on the court and win that way. Nederland can match-up with their guys and give them a good game and even win with the right amount of opportunities.. Yates is a completely different style of Basketball.. They are the biggest obstacle.. BUT all this talk wont mean anything if NED doesnt TCB every week and play consistent ball like they can.. Good Luck Nederland and finish strong [/quote] You r right about the matchups. I actually hope they face Ball b/c they match up btr against them. Yates is a team I don't think they want to face b/c as U said 'a completely different syle og B-ball'. U also referred to two games they played before their 14 game win streak. Those were games early in the year. English has made adjustments since then and their TOs have decreased. They actually led the entire game vs. WB before they 'blew it' at the end of the game by missing 21 free throws. TOs hurt them, yes. But they lost the game at the charity stripe.

The teams are irrelevant to some extent. The debate is more of the situation. It's good talk. [/quote] I agree, it is a good debate, but why the sly remark? What makes U think these teams are irrelevant?  Thay will BOTH make the playoffs this year. How does that make them (or this game) irrelevant?? [/quote] Gotcha ;-) My remark was about the subject being discussed. It could have been any team involved. That was my point. As far as the debate is concerned, who the teams are is somewhat irrelevant. The debate about what the coach should have done could have been in any game. [/quote]

[quote name="tappedout" post="958253" timestamp="1296519813"] I watched G-Ball in the Nederland tournament and there is no way that Nederland can hang with them. They don't have the big's to contain their big's. Come on people, get real they barely beat PNG. 20-4A is extremely weak this year. [/quote] So U are judging a team based on ONE game they played against their rival?? Really? Not gonna get much respect that way. BTW-Did U (or anyone) know that Nederland beat G. Ball last summer in a tourney?? Oh wait, I thought u said they couldn't 'hang with them'. Guess that shows how much U know...
