Tigers94

If they play up to their abilities, Silsbee by 6. No stupid fouls though. They got away with it last game. That might not be the case Friday if it happens.

Is there a Center live feed? Texan Live ain't it.

Terrible first half for Silsbee and we're still up by 4. I said this before the playoffs started, but our starters have got to stay out of foul trouble. Center's big man can do what he wants with Rice sitting and our freshman big ain't ready for varsity play.

Looking at the Silsbee side of the bracket, they can definitely win if they play up to their potential. They just can't have any off nights.

I re-watched the Silsbee/Wheatley game from last year on Texan Live this evening. They didn't handle the Tiger pressure very well. Silsbee shot the 3-ball and free throws horribly in the first half. They also had issues turning the ball over and crashing the boards. If Silsbee can shoot the ball better and rebound, they'll have a chance. That nearly 30 point beating Wheatley gave Booker T Washington a few weeks ago is bound to have some people taking notice. Again, this is assuming we can get past Center.

I'm a little worried this is going to be a short playoff run with Wheatley being next if we beat Center. Silsbee will need to be at the top of their game. I can see the roster shrinking down to about 7 kids who'll play, so staying out of foul trouble will be very important going forward.

I don't know how different Center is from when we played them early in the year, but I'll take Silsbee by 15. The Tigers were still in the habit of having some horrible second halves of basketball back during the first meeting. That game was a blowout at halftime before Center went on something like a 15 - 0 run in the second half. I don't think anything like that has happened to Silsbee since a few games before district started.

Vidor played well for 3 quarters of basketball tonight. They forgot to show up for the 4th. They can't do that if they want to win a playoff game. I don't know if it's the new D1/D2 format, but a lot of these early playoff games look to be more of a challenge than in past seasons. There's going to be some pretty brutal round 1 match ups.

It's just the type of game Silsbee needed right before the playoffs. I get match ups are a thing, but how Vidor loses to a team like WO-S is beyond me.

These games have been so dull and boring. I think the dunk count was 5 - 0.

I never want to hear anyone complain about Silsbee getting outside players again if we lose another kid.

Silsbee has a big kid on JV that can hopefully replace Rice next year. We just need him to be ready for varsity play by next season.

Was this Kountze chest thumping going on during the Harris/Miller years, or is this a one year thing? One thing Silsbee is doing a much, much better job at right now is defense. Teams were scoring way too many points on us early in season. I think this year would have been a really good ball game, but it ain't gonna happen. If Kountze doesn't like hypotheticals, I'm sure it could be set up to where we play each other every year going forward. If it makes them feel any better, there's probably going to be some serious question marks on how good the Tigers might be next year.

If it's just for one game and not the season, that's not so bad. I'd assume WB will either have to play the next game with their JV kids or forfeit. An entire season is way too extreme, imo.

That would be terrible for West Brook. I don't know what happened, but whoever was directly responsible for the fight should be punished. Don't ruin the season for all the other kids.

Jones hit 2 threes overall, I think. Johnson hit 1. Taking Arline out of the starting lineup kinda lessens the 3 point threat. The way this game was being called, taking it to the basket and trying to draw fouls was the better strategy anyways. Dunk count was 1 - 0 Silsbee.

I remember when Silsbee, Livingston, and Cleveland had some good wars in district. It'd be nice if the Tigers were pushed a little more. These past few games have been pretty sad. It's hard to get a good read on how much they've improved when the games are over at halftime. We'll see how the second Bridge City game goes.

Silsbee shot 50% from the 3 point line in this game. That's now three or four games in a row where they've shot the ball extremely well. If they can keep this up, they'll be hard to beat.

Jasper was at least respectable the first year they joined the district with Silsbee. They had a lot of size and athleticism that season. It's been all downhill since then. I don't know what their issue is outside of the players and community not caring about basketball. Maybe they're just football focused?

103 - 52 was the final. Silsbee starters only played about 5 minutes in the second half. Dunk count was 2 - 0 in favor of the Tigers. Payton got dunk number 2 ( that I'm aware of) in his career. He's still got a ways to go to catch Harris in that department.

87 - 30 after 3. Silsbee starters came out after about 5 minutes in the 3rd. They might be done for the night.

I think Jasper has a Youtube. They do:

Not on Hudl unless Jasper has one.

66 - 20 @ the half.

Silsbee up 27 - 11 after the 1st.
