Alter beats Princeton.Despite Kerr's best efforts on bribing Adkins and Wyrick with Panera Bagels and coffee he couldn't pull off the double switch in the GMC.
Today:
Princeton 67 Alter 50
East 67 Colerain 40
Fairfield 67 Oak Hills 45 (OH 18 of 22 from charity stripe)
Sycamore 67 Mason 50
Hamilton 54 Middletown 51 This one is a toss up. Hamilton is a mess, maybe the Middies pull it together and play one of their quality games.
Is West playing?
western brown as a top 10 team....
It's based on strength of schedule, not "feelings", similar to football's Harbins.western brown as a top 10 team....
go look at wb schedule and tell me that is the schedule of a team who deserves to be in the top 10
The weakness of this system is how it factors in division. Western Brown plays mostly lower division teams, some of them who have good records.
Good point, but I'd argue this helps clean that up.
They have losses to Loveland, Anderson, and 2-15 West Clermont. The system might require some tweeking.
Good call. Alter wins by 27.
Back-to-back uninspiring performances from Princeton after the Fairfield win.
Went late to game real late actually heard score was shock , Princeton parent said 3 starters sat idk if true didn’t walk in
Could it be a case of a team playing better without their star because they feel freer to play like a team?
They had Hardman against Fairfield. They appear to have stopped playing defense the last two games and have gotten into up-tempo shootouts. They are a much better half court team and probably don’t realize it.
I have been watching it since it first got posted earlier in the season. I will say that when it was first published it was excellent. As the season has gone on it does seem to have more teams out of wack. Could be a bug in the formula's script somewhere. I don't think it's as simple as divisions as Jballer said.
Woods appears to be the only one who didn’t play, and I think he was suspended for getting tossed in the last game.
Fairfield, while a very good team, is very suspect on defense. Both Lakota East and Alter play great defense. Could be that pressure does to Princeton exactly what pressure defensive teams are looking for, to force you to play faster and make mistakes. Maybe that is what is causing the uptempo shootouts you're seeing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Princeton very young? That inexperience might be what is causing them to not be disciplined enough to not be tricked into playing the other team's game.
Alter destroys Princeton! Are the Knights going to make a run for the Final Four?
Like I said I went late , I was told Jv at 4:30 Varsity was at 6 so I strolled thru parking lot at 5:55 and parents was coming out , not surprised they lost , they looked terrible against East , reguardless how bad the refs was they still look bad
My opinion is that’s exactly what’s happening. The pressure to force feed one kid to get shots vs playing in rhythm. No offense to the kid though. Chemistry just may not be there with him being out all year.
Hope the young man is ok?
Yes. X is like Mason with more length. Pretty good defensively but kind of limited athletically and don’t really have a player that can take over offensively.
Star? Who is that? Stop with the hype and check the stats.
28 points against Moeller is def not taking over offensively? If only Lasalle had a player that could do this......well I did see the illegal player on the bench today at Elder. Guess not his fault and no one is going to be fired? Don't forget X beat Fairfield, and looked good last nite in double OT with Moeller. Should be fun playoff brackets! I'm also excited to watch the walnut/Princeton game. Glad future games will be back at college venues.
