Nederland always plays 8 on 5 there [/quote] Just like when teams play 8 on 5 in Nederland. [/quote]The refs in both meetings were from the College Station chapter. So if you are insinuating home town cooking, then fish elsewhere. 2 of the refs officiated both games. The 3rd ref mentioned from last night did everything in his power to enable an advantage for the Panthers. If you weren't there, then you wouldn't understand. Ozen fans sitting near the Ned fans were laughing about his calls bc they were so blatantly obvious.

[/quote] I agree 100%...Nederland is not the same either, thanks to the leader of that program, BUT...The fact that Ozen no longer has the same championship swagger is more apparent...it's not an EMBARRASSING loss, but it's just not the same. You think PA Lincoln would EVER lose to Nederland? It just was not happening. That's how that program was built, and although it was not the same in the end, they still beat who they were EXPECTED to beat. I mean close games with PNG?? That's not suppose to happen at Ozen, but it's just not the same Ozen. [/quote]Not suppose to happen, why DV? Give us ONE reason why you believe the way you do.

You mean the state ranked Ozen who beat the #8 team in the state two weeks ago? Or the Ozen who barely lost to small college Yates by 3 in late November? Oh, but I'm sure Yates is not the same Yates this year either since they just squeaked by the lowly Panthers. ::) Maybe, just maybe Houston/SETX area teams (and players) are catching up to the Yates of the world. Ok, I'll agree on part of your statement. You're right, Ozen does not have a 6'10" future NBA player on their team, so they may not be 'the same Ozen'. ::) If you haven't noticed, those type of players don't grow on trees. Sometimes it's ok to give credit where credit is due instead of always finding an excuse. 8)

IMO, the difference maker in this game was Jared Lormier for Nederland. The kid came to play tonight. He was aggressive on both ends of the court. He scored 9 points and was a spark for the team. English finished with 20 and Weisbrod had 14. Both played really big again. We've come to expect the two of them to produce like that, and they did not disappoint tonight. Jamiere Rodgers also played with a lot more aggression which made a big difference. Good team win!! I felt that Ned's D caused havoc for Ozen. Ozen became impatient and forced too many contested shots. Many of Ozen's points came from layups off of steals. We must protect the ball better. Hunter made some phenomenal shots on drives to the bucket. Not sure if Ozen made any 3s all game?? The dunk off the miss was impressive to say the least. Who is #24? Someone said he is a Soph?? That kid got up!!

Wow!!! Doesn't get much worse. 

OT

Tied at 43 with :06 remaining Ned ball, TO

Tied at 38. 3 min remaining. Ned ball. TO

This is ridiculous!!!

Sketchy :-X

Tied at 34

Dawgs up as much as 11. Lead 34-29 after 3Qs

Half: Ned 27 Ozen 18

Ned up 23-14. TO Ozen

End of 1st: Ned 11 Ozen 10

Midway through 1st. 7-7

They competed. Played half the game. JV starters played the other half. Lost by 20.

Visor has been playing well lately. Could they be a spoiler tonight? Tough matchup against AJ and his height. Vidor lacks a big to contain him.

RCS Sports has predicted Nederland winning by 3 tonite over Ozen. [/quote] Jim also picked Travis to beat Bush last night. ;) [/quote]Hicks also thinks the game is being played in Nederland. If he knew we have lost 6/8 at home, he would know we are a good road team and have us winning by 8! 8)
