Mason is the biggest school in the state and is 15-5 in the big school conference in Cincinnati. I wouldn’t put to much into Tipp losing by 15 to them.
How good is Indian hill?
To be fair, the Tipp team in 2008 wasn't a great Tipp team either. Tipp was only 15-8 that year, and only had to beat a couple of mediocre CBC teams to make it to district. CJ probably could have beat Tipp by more than the 20 points they won by in that game.
Hard to believe the 10 assists per game. You mean that if he had just an average game one night, maybe six assists, he turned around and had 14 the very next game? Really? And, to be an even 10.0 per game. I’m sure that he is a very good passer, but the math just seems a little hard to believe.
I’m sure he is a very good player. I haven’t seen him this year due to the virus, but I did see him three or four times last year. He is very unselfish. More than any thing this is about math. Someone said he had only three assists against Mason. I’m merely pointing out that he needed 17 assists the next game to continue averaging ten assists per game. That’s not likely.
Sure, if you were only averaging those two games.
Here’s the math. Let’s say a player has 100 assists in ten games. In the 11th game he only has three assists. He then needs 17 assists in the next game to remain at ten assists per game. It’s simple math. Again, I am not arguing that he’s not a really good player, he is damn good.
I guess if you want to get back to 10 exactly with the very next game, ok. You could have more than 10 in each of the remaining games and get back to 10 still. He has had 3 or 4 games since then. He is at 9.5 per game per the league website.
It was ugly there at the end but they got the job done!
This is the year for a Tipp or a CJ to make that run. The city schools(Dunbar and Thurgood) and Trotwood just did not have it this year. The late starts, no preseason, only playing 10 -14 games. You could clearly see, especially with that Trotwood team they had no chemistry, did not look like a Rockhold team of the past. Still had talent and some good wins but just didn't play well together. I say that to say, I think teams like Tipp and CJ are good DIV 2 teams and have been for years but this regional has been owned by Trotwood, Alter and Dunbar. All of those teams are young and will spend some time rebuilding after Covid-19. There might be a two year gap where teams like Tipp can make a run. Now the talent in the Trotwood and Dunbar program is scary good so I except them to be back but Tipp can use this experience to season their guys. I watched them the other day and they play well together, are well coached and the K kid is a swiss army knife. This is a year that their strength of schedule won't hurt them to get to the state. Not a Tippy fan. But I think they have a shot to win it all. Good luck.
What I remember most about CJ in the last 20 years was a play in 2014 where they were up by 4 with just a few seconds to play. Middletown Fenwick had the ball and called timeout to set up a triple screen play on the wing. The CJ defenders faught so hard to get through the screen they ran into the shooter who hit the three, and he knocked down both free throws giving him a five point play and the win. That kind of stuff takes alot of respect out of the program.
