Nederland @ United

[BMTSoulja1]

Two state ranked and battle of the unbeaten.  Why are we not talking about this big matchup?  Predictions?

[whsalum]

Should be a pretty good game. I’m take United by 12. If Nederland can have a little control of the tempo they’ll keep it respectable 

[BayouB]

Who are United’s top players?   What does Ned have to do to win?  Where is this one at? 

[BMTSoulja1]

‘Control the Tempo’ is gonna be easier said than done and is also a double edged sword.  Teams have tried this as far as slowing the tempo down.  Crazy thing is This team has very good shooters as well as athletes, so they’ll thrive in the half court game.  As far as speeding up the tempo, that’s a fast way to find yourself down by 20 early.
 

Beat bet is to roll out the ball and play YOUR game better than BU plays their game and see what happens.  

Two really good coaches here so you know they’ll be a chest match at some point.  
 

I don’t think Nederland has the personnel to be able to battle  BU for 4 Quarters and this one will probably be a 25 pt win...

Really revolves around our 3 headed monster where either one can explode for 30.  6’7” Jr Arceneaux, 6’4” Soph Yates, and 6’5” Soph Porchia.  
 

My previous post states what I think Nederland needs to do to win.

At United Gym Tuesday at 7.

You notice I said if they control the tempo they make it respectable. This one is a matchup nightmare for the Dawgs

United by 20+. Sorry Ned you have a good team that is state ranked but i can almost assure its a huge gap 🤷‍♂️

Yea, I agree.  

[locker room talk]

I agree, 2 good coaches.  Even though I see United winning, I never count English out.  I remember him beating K Perkins when he was at Vidor.  He always has something up his sleeve.   I hope Ned makes it respectful.

Was that game in Vidor?

He did NOT beat a Perkins lead team.  He did beat a strong Ozen team, but Perkins was in the NBA when this happened...

I'm pretty sure you know the answers to all three of those questions.

[locker room talk]

He actually beat a Perkins led team when he was at Vidor.  May have beat them twice that year.  Scouts were at game to watch Perkins at their own little table at Ozen.  Vidor lit it up from the 3.  Fact.

[Bears Basketball]

We didn't beat Ozen with Perkins.  The next year, we beat them 3 times.  We did lose a 2 or 4 point game on the road at Ozen with Perkins where we hit either 17 or 19 3's.

Vidor made 17 3’s that game, but still lost to Perkins. It was the following year vidor beat Ozen 3 times 

[locker room talk]

I thought otherwise.  I will try and see if I can figure this out.  

[Michele]

Since Ozen and Central combined a few years ago, where do they play their basketball games at?  I would like to go to the game.

Perkins lost once in HS and it wasn’t to Vidor. It was to Chris Bosh in the state championship

Lost to TJ in the Montagne Center the year TJ beat Lincoln to go to state.

Remember, Perk and Ozen went undefeated his Sophmore year.  He had at least 1 loss when they lost to Chris Bosh and Dallas Lincoln and he lost another year early in the playoffs I believe.  So I want to say he at least lost about 3 or 4 times...

Pretty much!

[JustUs]

Yearly this has become somewhat of a rivalry game between two good programs with top shelf coaching. United (13-0) hasnt played a game in 14 days. Nederland (13-0) last played 5 days ago. This could be a factor in the margin of the of the final score. United is humble enough to prepare and humble enough to perform. Looking forward to a fair called injury free game. Lace them up and let it do what it do...jmo...
