The game made me realize how special having 3 players the caliber we had a few years ago was.  Missing one of two makes a change in dynamic missing one of three isn’t quite as bad.

Really a pretty lackluster game to me.  Maybe because we never got real close, maybe because it wasn’t the normal frantic pace.  Yes this one would have been closer if we could have hit a few more shots both from the 3 pt line and the ft line.  I know BU definitely has a different dynamic with Arceneaux I. The game.  

35-29 BU at the half.

This team can shoot the 3 well.  Problem will be doing so with BUs length coming at them.

From that the bracket is set up favorably for the Tigers to reach the finals.  If they play like they should West Brook and CE King are the biggest challenges.  While that top half bracket is loaded, United, Madison, SOC, and Grace Academy and Aldine Nimitz.  

Going to Arkansas and new orleans

Final 110-44

How good shooting. WB can’t handle the pressure and quick hands.  And the biggest factor was the play of J. Williams down low!

I think the dunk count was 1-1.  And yes we didn’t have a good first half.  Two big parts of that was Madison plays good defense and the fact that we had 4 fouls called on us in the first quarter, 2 on Harris and 2 on Miller.  I believe Bottley ended up with 2 in the first half as well.  That pretty much handicapped our defense in that half.  My hope was that we kept it no more than a 10 point deficit at the half.  Which is exactly what it was. We couldn’t get much to fall in that first half either.  
 
Now to be honest their was some pretty questionable officiating.  I know you always see things in your favor but I did see some both ways.  Now I am not going to nit pick the calls because we got the biggest one of the night.  We were up 2 with them inbounding the ball with about 9 secs left, and they missed a pretty obvious ball off their players leg on the inbounds that went out of bounds. They got the ball back and got the dunk that tied it.  But then we got the biggest foul call on the 3 point attempt by Haynes that probably doesn’t get called most of the time.  It was kind of a desperation type 3 pointer where 2 or three of their players were around him. He probably was fouled but that call isn’t made a lot of the time.  
 
great gritty come from behind win for these Tigers!!

Tigers take it 58-56

Same score Tiger ball 1:30 left

Its a shame that HJ Silsbee game is one of those christmas break 3:00 in the weekday afternoon games…

Final 110-44

Absolutely played big and strong down low!  Thats the type of play we need from him!

This Tiger team may be ahead of schedule.  That’s two really impressive outings against big schools with solid teams.  Dallas is going to have to earn it even this year. 

Would love to have players with Yates build.

Put some respect on Jayron Williams name tonight.
It might not show up on the scoreboard, but he made a big impact for Silsbee under the boards. I'd be tempted to give him player of the game.

Tigers whip the Bruins 78-56.
