Some HF fans complained about the officiating. I thought they called a pretty good game. One rough call with about 10 seconds left that I didn’t think was traveling when HF had a chance to tie hurt, but other than that HF (deservedly) got the advantage on fouls for the majority of the game. I think if the horns had pulled it out some of the BC fans would’ve found some calls to be upset about as well. This was a 1-point game inside :30, and only finished at 4 because BC iced it from the line. The horns were ice cold all night from deep and bad at the line. Can’t really blame the zebras for that. Full credit to BC: they shot pretty well from deep and took advantage of their free throws when they got them, and their defense forced a lot of turnovers.

Broaddus 57 Brookeland 40

King wins 69-55

Had this in pickems and y’all talked me out of it

MP has this one as 74-49 cita in the 4th

Wonder what happened in this one. It’s pretty uncanny how close AAW gets most of his lines.

Man, i got screwed on the pickems last week by taking too many underdogs, and this week by taking too many favorites

Great seasons for both of these teams, and a great game tonight. BC did something late that the horns struggled with all night, which was make 3/4 clutch free throws late to put this one away. Proud of the horns, and hope the cards can keep this momentum going in the state semis next week!

BC up 31-30 after 3. HF is maybe 1/12 from 3 and 3 or 4/15 from the line. They could easily have a decent lead in this one. BC hasn’t shot great, but they’re hitting enough 3s to keep a slim lead. Been a fun game so far

Game of runs

Sheesh.

Wowza

BC leads HF 22-20 at the half. The horns were something like 2-11 from the free throw line in the first half. They’re dominating the boards but BC is definitely the better shooting team, and their defense has forced more turnovers

HF and BC tied at 11 after 1.

Post them here.

was he one of the two finalists submitted that got rejected yesterday?

could happen. If they win 4 of 5 during this softer stretch and finish 20-11 on the year and .500 in the SEC i like their odds okay, esp. if they can pick up a win against beatable and ranked MSST.

Horns finish off with their easiest stretch of SEC play for the season. Need to go 3-2 to have a shot at the dance IMO. 4-1, preferably.

it kinda depends on the situation. in some cases it works out that way, and in some cases you end up with first round matchups that feel like they should be regional finals matchups. Some of that also has to do with the weakness of the region in general. One thing is for sure, none of these kids will complain if they make it to state, and it's not so watered down that they shouldn't be proud of their accomplishments. Any team that can win 6 straight playoff games deserves to be recognized. Sometimes you get a lucky road to state, and sometimes you face a gauntlet. Rudder taking out Bastrop was certainly a fortunate break for BH. Also not really sure what the issue with the head coach "crowing" about three in a row considering they went the last two years against tougher competition and not skipping a round.

anyone who picks Bryson or Thomas can make a fair argument for either player. If you were from HF I think you'd be making a similar argument for Bryson. We'll see how the vote turns out.

Pooped the bed this week. last place doesn't feel too bad when only 10 games separate 1st from 6th after 11 pickems.

you had no point. And yes, I do know who you are.

lol.

Still not sure how that buzzer beater went in for HF. Spinning away from the basket on a layup and it was clearly short. Hit the backboard and then the rim very low, then somehow bounced over, hit the backboard again and went in. I noticed the rims were super tight all night. Worked out in this case
