All that info is posted up top in Bi-District schedule thread.

-36 is being nice. Silsbee could pull the starters early 4th.

Silsbee beat the #3 and #4 seed (Jasper and Lumberton) by an average of 35 points a game. Liberty tied for 3rd in their district.

I think the line at 36 is fair. But I could see it being 40 before game time.

That being said liberty lost by 15 to lumberton who lost by 35 to silsbee 21 to Lcm who lost by 30 to silsbee. Silsbee could win this game by 70 if they wanted too. The line that is set has to be based on a pure guess of when silsbee coach decides to rest his starters. Lol.

That's part of it. Not really a guess. I have seen enough Tiger playoff basketball under Joe Sigler to know he will not keep his starters in a playoff blow out. Got bigger fish to fry later.

A betting line is always based on what the final score will be, regardless of pulling starters or not. We can speculate what the score would be if Silsbee played their starters the entirety even if they were up 35. But I think we all know that will not happen.

Silsbee is a prohibitive favorite but I doubt it will be much more then 30 because the bench will get serious minutes..  The HJ Jasper game is the interesting one to me.

You mean the HF (Hamshire-Fannett) Jasper game. I'll be attending that one.

Did I read Hj got a home game vs Lumberton 🤔

Yes. Lumberton wanted to flip home and home. HJ didn't want home and home, wanted a neutral site. Lumberton won the flip to get the opportunity for home and home and then lost that flip to HJ. So HJ gets a home game in first round.

[Knox34]

Somehow this is not surprising 

[Topdawg25]

Give me liberty with a late cover

and I’ll buy half a point +36.5

Wow that backfired on them 

[buccaneers4lyfe]

Silsbee by 40 plus, starters will be sitting the whole 4th quarter i would imagine. 

[BADSANTA]

Whoever wins will face Jacksonville. They are decent for sure.

Yes HF.  (Jasper - HJ might not be as interesting)  I watched the Jasper/Bridge City game and was struck by the fact that several times Jasper just to threw passes into thin air and squandered good opportunities.  Bridge City didn't intercept, the ball just flew out of bounds.  If the Dogs could settle down, be a little more careful, this could be competitive.

They are indeed.  And Bullard is just as good.  I've watched some of their highlights and I watched the whole Bullard/Jacksonville seeding game.  Based on what I've seen I believe they can give anybody in Region 3 a good game, even Silsbee and the District 21 teams.   There's not much difference really between the two and that's reflected in their head to head meetings.

It was interesting in the seeding game Friday.  Jacksonville played a largely half court in the first half and went to the locker 16 points down.  They went with full court man to man and up tempo and almost broke through a couple of times in the second half.  The natural question is why didn't they go up tempo the whole game?  The answer of course is that their coach knows what he's doing and that approach won't work for them in this context.

I just looked at the regional brackets and it shows our region finals will be in Bryan. It changed last night. Does anyone know if this is right. Have reservations for Lufkin but may need to change them.
