I gotta beat him by two. But I would be fine with a tie. What do they say? Tie goes to the guy who won last season

Ok. Time to try and defend my title!

How many more Pickems do we have?

I wanna watch "cows".

If true that's unfortunate for HJ. did parquet mention his impending move that others have mentioned, or is that just talk?

I think y'all have 9 more players close to his level. Maybe not quite as good, but a minimal drop off. If you're saying the same outcome as in Silsbee wins, then I agree. If you're saying it's still a blowout, I completely disagree. Silsbee has two starting fives worth of all-district players. HJ has three players of that caliber. When one of those three is missing, it's a HUGE difference maker. Also considering that parquet is tall, fast, and an excellent ball handler, he'd make a huge difference in HJs press break against the Tigers. HJ had 37 turnovers tonight. If parquet plays that number is greatly reduced, plus he is HJs second best scorer. If McCain plays, he takes minutes from 8-9 other guys capable of doing pretty much what he can do. If Parquet plays, he takes minutes from several role players that probably combined for 5 points and 15 turnovers.

Yup, the turnovers were a killer. HJ needed another ball handler. Would've made a big difference with their struggles against the press

I'm just glad he didn't mess up my AWTY +28 pickem with it

That up-tempo offense is tough to defend.

Zavalla 51 Broaddus 40

Leggett 51 Goodrich 40

Central Heights 63 Corrigan Camden 27

Woden 53 Garrison 50

Pollok Central 58 Newton 47

BC won 45-30

my two cents from the game tonight: Silsbee is the real deal. Their pressure is incredible, their athleticism is unmatchable, and they can really fill it up from deep. I thought HJ did a really nice job in the first half of holding their own against the press, and finding easy points after breaking it. In the second half they started to wear down, and in the end they got run over, which is a shame because they put in a really nice performance for three quarters. Not having 2 of their best ball handlers really hurt them, and it would've been a lot different game had Parquet and Bernard been able to suit up. HJ only had 2-3 guys tonight that they could rely on to break the press, and one of them really struggled with the ball, and they all were worn out by the end of the 3rd quarter. Saladin showed up to play, but Jamerson didn't have nearly the impact he did in the first meeting. He didn't play poorly, but silsbee did a nice job of keeping HJ from getting him good looks, and also of adjusting their shots so that he didn't block too many of them. As for Silsbee, i was very impressed with them in the second half. they never seem to slow down, and they have a ton of guys off the bench with no drop off. There are only two things that can stop the tigers from getting to state IMO. The first is shot selection. They took several contested and off balance threes tonight. In the first half they missed almost all of them, which is part of the reason that HJ was able to hang around. In the second half they also shot quite a few ill-advised threes, off balance, not set, with a hand in their face, but they actually made many of them. So while many of those shots led to the giant win margin down the stretch, had they kept missing them, HJ could have gotten back into the game. The second thing that could slow them down is going to be refs who call a tight game. I don't have any criticism for the refs tonight, as they were consistent, and they let both teams play. But for every reach-in and hand check they called on silsbee, they let 2 or 3 go. The refs dictate play, and they let them go tonight, but had they been calling them silsbee would've had some problems. they're deep enough to overcome foul trouble, but had HJ been in the double bonus in the 3rd quarter the game could've changed quite a bit. Again, i AM NOT saying the refs were bad, and I AM NOT using them as an excuse. I'm merely pointing out that Silsbee could struggle against a quality playoff opponent if the refs call it tight due to the extreme pressure they apply and the fact that they reach and bump a lot on D. All that having been said, super impressive win tonight by a super impressive team. Congrats to the tigers on a great win. I hope we meet you guys again in a few weeks.

82-55, Silsbee blew it open. I left with 2 minutes left. Very impressed with the tigers, at least the team that came out of the locker room second half

77-54, 3:30 left. Silsbee in the second half has looked like the team that is favored to make it to state. Very impressive
