Springtime Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 HJ and Silsbee got screwed in the playoff pairings this year. Both Silsbee and HJ will have to face Houston Yates to even get to regionals. HJ might play them in the second round and Silsbee might face them in the third. WOS would not face them until the regional finals if they make it that far. Go to https://www.uiltexas.org/files/athletics/brackets/basketball/basketball-boys-3a-2012-2013.pdf and see the bracket.JMO

BLUEDOVE3 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 I warned HJ and Silsbee before the season to fight for 2nd place in the district. HJ couldn't help it. Cross country wore them out. Silsbee just had too much pride to lose a game or two in district and finish 2nd!!!Therefore (Aggie), I will say again, [size=12pt]tis better to finish 2nd and make a deep run in playoffs, than to finish 1st and lose in 2nd round[/size]

Kountzer Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 Third place team still has to go thru and win the regional tournament. Play Yates now, or play em later. It's all the same.

My Tigers will have to play their best team game and make the most of their scoring opportunities. Speed and depth appear to be fairly equal. The big problem for the Tigers is size. We have to find a way to get our passes and shots over the top of them and prevent them from merely going over the top of us. We also have to keep up on the boards. If we can somehow do that and have a good shooting night we have a chance.

ST413 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 That was in my first line "play their best team game".

They may get to avoid your babies longer but they will either lose or have to play them or whoever beats them to get to Austin.
BLUEDOVE3 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Not implying anyone won or lost on purpose. I've said from the beginning whatever team gets 2nd place would be in a better spot to advance further in playoffs.
