State Playoff Predictions

[BLUEDOVE3]

Saw this prediction on  another forum:

5a -Desoto vs Ft.Bend Travis
4a- Austin LBJ vs ???????
3a -Yates vs Dallas Madison

Seems like the 5-A and 3-A divisions have at least  6 possible lock-ins to Austin. Obviously 4-A will have their surprises this year.

Yates and Madison are very solid picks. IMO, two best 3A teams I have personally seen play this year. But that doesn't mean they cannot be beaten in playoffs. ;)

Honestly....From what I have seen, Silsbee will have the BEST shot to beat Yates in the region, because they are tough, and they play fast, they defend, and they finish...I still think Yates is the favorite, but Silsbee has the best chance at beating them.

One thing to point out about Yates is they have a ton of turnovers and they shoot free throws as a team about 40%. They force a ton of turnovers but a team than can control the ball and rebound well can beat them. Saw them play last week. They had about 6 dunks but they shoot very poorly from the outside. You must crash the boards and not throw the ball away.

[/quote]100% agree, but for some reason average good  teams just don't get it. Its those national ranked teams that kick Yates' butt.

[ST413]

That's the problem for even our best local teams,  crashing the boards is one thing ending up with enough rebounds over a much taller team is questionable.

Looks like it will be in that third round playoff game unless either team slips up and the Tigers beat WOS again.

[Who That]

Silsbee won't go down again in district... They will face Yates" who will win "...will haft to see.. ;)

[KHSAlum400]

If they face each other which will be in the quarterfinal I'll take Yates by 10-15 pts. If Silsbee can make Yates shoot from the outside they will have a good chance of pulling the upset. I think Silsbee will break their press easily and get some nice lay-ups on the back end.

Silsbee will also need to dictate the flow of this game and pack the lane. They do that, they win, IMO.

What kind of flow would you like to see Silsbee establish for this game?

[ST413]

The Tigers will have to beat Yates at their own game to pull off the upset.  We won't beat that height in a half court set.

That's my point.. Silsbee is a tough team to beat when they play that up-tempo style.. But matchin up with Yates, who wants that pace all game, might be disaster for Silsbee

Definitely a possibility and the most likely.  But these Tigers can force turnovers too and that night they will have to.  And will have to get Yates in foul trouble.
