Sunday morning and it's already starting. All three teams make the playoffs. So is this about school bragging rights and/or  district banners in the gym.

Plus side is that 4-A is so wide open this year, there  is no clear dominant winner in our region. So Nederland should not take this upcoming game so serious. 8)

U said it Dove! Bragging rights!! Not sure if I can deal with you having bragging rights over me for the next 10/11 months!! ;D 8)

Honestly though, I completely agree. Region IS wide open, so a loss does not end the season as some in Nederland believe. ::) I mean, IF we end the reg season at 24-10 and not 26-8, then, 'What is wrong with Nederland?' ;)

Matchups will be important in the playoffs, that's why I think this game is very important for us. A 3rd place finish will have us play either Humble or Crosby in round 1. A 1st place or 2nd pl finish will have us play KW Park or Summer Creek or CE King. We match up much better against these 3 teams.

Still, no one made a prediction, so, I will...

Big Ned - 55

Pear Orchard - 63
[/quote]Too close! Will be by a larger margin
[/quote]Last game was a nail biter. What makes you think it will be a victory of more than 8?
If you're giving more than 8, I'll take that bet! ;)

Ozen was blowing Nederland away. Ozen took the pressure off and Nederland took advatage of an opportunity.
[/quote]Ozen shot over 70% from three land in the 1st half (including a bank shot at the buzzer)  Do you expect to shoot that well again? Remember the Ozen game against PNG two weeks ago.....;)
Remind us how many heart attacks you and Top Flight had during that game! ;D

Young Ozen will not be able to handle the pressure of a game with possible District title on the line. They only beat Ned the first time because of a lucky bank 3 and a coach E tech. Ozen WILL NOT shoot 70% again.

Surely u jest! If Ozen continues playing the way they have the last couple of games, it's going to be a lot harder for Nederland to walk back to their cars and buses than it was a couple of weeks ago.

I believe Ozen will shoot the ball very well against Nederland because English has a bad habit of trying to play percentages. Kinda like he did against HJ...A zone is disrespectful don't think for a second the Panthers won't eat that up alive and also we are playing at home...Now I wonder if you still like your chances of winning this game. Nederland can ONLY go possibly 2 deep in their bench before it starts to get cloudy for them...And trust this time we won't call the dogs off ;D 8)

Well hang your hat on past performances if you want to. Need I remind you of the PNG game. Ozen was LUCKY to leave that gym with a win. But I agree, I hope y'all play the same as in that game.

I would play the percentages and probabilities too. The probability Ozen shoots 70% from 3 land again is VERY LOW

PNG played the percentages with their zone and nearly upset Ozen bc of poor outside shooting. It happens. Smart coaches play the odds! ;)

Would love to hear what strategy Scapegoat would suggest we use in this game. ::)

No scapegoats or strategy excuses... But in the PNG game their focus was not there at all..couldn't get up for what they thought was a meaningless game ..and it turned out ugly...yes that can get u beat...surely u r forgetting what Ozen was doing to Nederland in their own gym..had it been me I would've drove the bus thru them but hey that's why I'm not the coach and I understood what he was doing. But at the end of the day they will be very focused for this game and they will win it by a large margin..buy its just one mans opinion  8)

[/quote]'Scapegoat' is a Nederland football fan who provides insight to both the Nederland basketball program AND baseball program. ::)

Back to topic though, do you really think Ozen would have continued to shot better than 70% from 3 pt land in the 2nd half too? Maybe Saveat decided to play the odds himself and won?

[/quote]Lol! Most teams usually shoot about 65% in big games, so you're prolly right! ;D

I think Ozen had a lot to prove in that 1st meeting and against Central 2 weeks ago. Their focus will not be the same, IMO. Same can be said for Ned. I think we played to not lose in the 1st game. Now lots of doubters, so their focus and intensity will go up!
