I will also say I don't really mind the Tigers facing these situations it only makes them stronger down the road. However I do wan to see them win and wanted to see the matchups with the same schools you were wanting to see.

It's not a question of being able to they did. And looking at the brackets they gave this same short break to 5 or 6 teams. Funny thing the only FB school with that short of a break was Willowridge and even funnier not 1 of those teams moved on to the gold bracket. I won't make an excuse for our fts because we have done that in recent games but what is one of the things you hear about when someone says a team is tired.....their shooting getting poorer due to tired legs....Add to that the style we play nonstop and you see why a short break was not good. And even with all that we should have won and yes it was the fts that cost us. Now my big hope is to get the matchup with Westfield tomorrow to see how we can do there.

I am not arguing with that fact at all. After the first 2 games I thought we were going to be a better ft shooting team. But that game at Central was bad and sounds like a few since then as well.

I agree on the free throws and not whining about them playing two games in an afternoon but if you think a team with six hours rest isn't better off than a team having 1 1/2 we'll sorry but you are mistaken. My argument isn't whether or not the Tigers should have could have or would have won. These guys can play and can pull off such a feat but shouldn't be placed in that position. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not that put Hightower in the best position they could have when facing us other that's blatantly putting us in back to back games.

Missing fts is a definite no no. The set up well I think it speakers for itself. Look at how HJ had pool play setup granted they had an even number of teams in each pool but they put all the teams in the same pool playing at the same time = time off. Now granted one team or the other in a three team pool was going to have more rest but one team playing at 9 in the morning and the other playing at 1:30 is a BIG difference. And as far as 12-14 deep in these games lately it has really been more like maybe 9-10 deep.

He has had some that haven't been playing but I can't imagine only bringing 9. 9 may have been all that played or scored. If they win this one I will know for sure tomorrow.

Why not?

What I was asking yesterday.

Hopefully we can pull off the next two and face Westfield tomorrow night.

Interesting in that 6 FB schools made the gold bracket as well as 6A #2 Sam Houston and Arlington Bowie who had FB Clements in their group as the only FB team in that group. I know several of these FB schools are very good but 6 of 8.....makes you wonder.

I also see they lost by 1 to PA Memorial in the Clear Creek tourney.

What are they like? Are they going to be a tough one?

Missed fts.....and was the foul at the end of the first ot contesting an easy shot or a really bad foul?

No problem just had my hopes that we were ahead.

Was it 96-95 Hightower then?

Which McCain?

How much time!

Lets go!!

Come on Tigers let's get it!!

Are we getting lots of fouls called against us?

Let's go Tigers!

Update?

Is Oak Ridge now the tourney favorites?

Tigers trying to save energy??? And how many players did we bring??

More like a lot awful low scoring for the Tigers.
