Nederland @ Central Feb 3: Predictions

[baddog]

Unless there is a blowout, all games are won at the free throw line, or whoever has the ball last and the coach dials up the right play.

You suit up whoever you suit up. The other team still has to play the game regardless of who is on the floor. Play Yates with an undermanned squad and see how sorry they feel for you.

Yep Dove.....29 straight and they were all flukes.

Look, here is the problem. Until Nederland wins a regional title, they will not be taken seriously.  :D

I think you're right, and I predict it will happen next year.  ;)

I said it before...Central's team and coaches will feel the pressure in a
close game in the 4th, will not make the adjustments, will not make the plays, will not make free throws, Nederland will play disciplined, smart ball.....and will win by 10
[/quote]

But so many are saying that Central is so much more talented that the talent will trump disciplined, smart ball.  Right Dove?  ( I just can't figure out why that same talent did not prevail in the first game)
[/quote]It did prevail in the first game. Central won it by 3 on Nederland's floor.  Nederland won the second matchup in district on their
floor.
[/quote]
Talent did NOT win the 1st game for Central. Nederland lost their cool MENTALLY, and it cost them the game. Nederland stayed mentally
focused in the game that counts (district game) and won big. *See my post from a few days ago regarding what happened:

Quote
Remember though, Ned was up by 14 in that game in the middle of the 2nd Q, then this happened:
-Central made a bucket, lead 12
-Central steals ball (no foul called), Ned player gets upset. Tech called.
-Central makes both FTs, lead 10
-Central makes 2 more FTs from the foul, lead 8
-Central makes a 2 point shot, lead 6
-Ned misses a shot on the other end.
-Central makes 2 more, lead down to 4 for Ned.

All of the sudden, it's halftime, and Central has the momentum and is PUMPED! Ned heads to the locker room with heads down and
demoralized.
End Quote.

The 1st meeting was heading toward a blowout win by Ned.the Dawgs don't make that mistake tomorrow night. Central's home court edge will keep it close. Ned wins 47-42
[/quote]They lost mentally to an undermaned Central team that suited only 8 players with the star player K. Smith missing?  Really?
[/quote]
K. Smith was NOT missing!

[/quote]I know.  they picked Nederland to win on the pickems, which means that they highlighted Nederland.  I'm saying the reason being that they picked Nederland is because they feel that Central will win, but not cover that 3 point spread.  So you shade in Nederland.  ;)

[asary]

With only a 3 point spread I doubt anyone picked  Nederland in the way you suggested. Good try though Soulja  :D

Soulja-  Will they employ that "special" measuring device at the game tonite?

[BMTSoulja1]

Only on the 'home' side of the scoreboard.

Dove, I'm reading an awful lot of "Dove love" for Nederland throughout this thread. Have you experienced a period of "reality and clarity ".........or is this your "reverse psych" effort at it's best?  ;D

Dick Vitale picking Nederland on the Basketball pickems. What's up with that? And don't even try to say that you think Central will win but not cover the spread. We wont buy that  ;) ;D

[/quote]We need Mitchell out there to assert himself since he's our # 2 scoring option.

[BLUEDOVE3]

Mitchell should be Central's #1 option.
