I had Silsbee winning by 8. Missed it by a point.

I had Silsbee winning 77-69 on the other thread

Great win tigers!

[Tigers94]

If you think about it Silsbee is missing 3 key players from last year's team. Gilder, Baltrip, and Jones. One of those couldn't be helped and the other two graduated.

It's been my opinion the Tigers are still a year away for a while now. Afraid I might be proven right eventually.

Glad we managed to sweat this one out. Think we're 4 - 3 all time against Yates now.

[AggiesAreWe]

8 consecutive regional tournaments and 14th of last 18 seasons.

No other local team is close to this level of success during this time period.

[terancec]

Silsbee has been the class of 4A basketball in Texas for over a decade.  Yates is probably next.  Argyle has been really good as well. Dallas has had some really good teams obviously, but none have been as consistently dominant.  Silsbee is the cream of the crop imo.

Well" will it be a rematch with Center are Connally you think ? I would like to play Center again. 😁

8 at Yates.  By 36 at home.  

That 36 was earlier in the season. 

[BADSANTA]

Silsbee will more than likely play Connally and they are always tough. They gave Silsbee a tough game in 2018 and Yates a tough game the year before. Ill take Silsbee by 12-15. If Silsbee plays Washington it will be a pick em. They have the advantage in the front court but I think Silsbee has the same advantage in the backcourt. I believe we shoot better this weekend and advance to San Antonio. This Tiger squad has more so much heart its scary. Washington could run into depth issues only going 6 deep, but it didn't affect them in district it seems.

First half of district at home vs second half of district at Yates, correct. BTW is decidedly better than Yates.  Silsbee can beat them, but I believe it will take a better performance than tonight.

They will need to press to just keep the ball in front of them, to just slow the ball down.  Against Yates’ press, they looked like they were having a slam dunk contest on the backend of that thing.  At the same time, half court set seems to favor BTW as well.  Silsbee wins by attrition if they pull it off.  Booker T’s studs are as skilled as Silsbee’s, they are just half a foot taller.

I would agree with that. Id take Silsbee by 4.

Yeah that 6'7 combo is tough but they can be beat. Get em in foul trouble.

Dunk count?

Heck they haven’t beaten LCM yet.  Let’s hope the Bears catch fire and pull the upset of the playoffs so far. 

[ST413]

The Tigers havent played a good game yet in the playoffs.  Haven’t shot well.  The best has to come out this weekend!

[Tigers94]

We could get a rematch with Center.

They're another good team that wasn't ranked early in the season or was ranked really low for whatever reason.

I figured as much. 

No doubt! Wise wanted to rush the game having played Thursday and having at least one practice.  He also wanted to limit the number of Tiger fans if possible knowing how well we travel!

Ghost is an 8th grader at Orangefield now.  But Ben Elliott can go on a heater too.

Now as far as Yates and their not being ranked.  They had 4 district losse and struggled early.  They are a young team. Definitely did some growing up.  And little Murphy is going to be major problems for a while.  I didn’t think he was going to miss all night.  And when he shot there was no doubt.  Heck most of them barely even hit the rim.  They just popped that net.  Bottley did a hell of a job on him!

Kind of reminds me of Silsbee last season.

Yep overdue for a game where they shoot the lights out.  Hopefully have a few of those in the tank.
