Thoughts?

Actually, I'm not naming any teams yet because I guarantee that there will be a few upsets in the districts and regionals.

Looks like the 7th region has a great chance to get to the finals.

Looks like SC, Holmes and EC have a tough road to the finals.

Actually they have a tough time just getting to the tournament. I wouldn't count my chickens before they hatch.

No team has a easy ride. Every year teams are upset. No one has punched there ticket yet.

Friday night session will be a HOT ticket!!!

12th -vs- 14th McCreary Central vs Perry Central

3rd -vs- 5th Muhlenberg North vs North Hardin

6th -vs- 1st PRP vs Paducah Tilghman

7 -vs- 13th Eastern vs Corbin

Lower

11th -vs- 4th Scott Co vs Warren Central

9th -vs- 2nd Holmes vs Christian County

10th -vs- 15th Mason Co vs Shelby Valley

16th -vs- 8th Elliott Co vs Anderson Co

Per the Courier-Journal Litkenhous Boys' Basketball Ratings 1/26.

Bottom Bracket Friday Night will be a big crowd.

Could be Scott Co vs Holmes

Mason Co/GRC vs Elliott Co

Holmes vs Christian County could potentially be a interesting game, if they both are lucky enough to make it.

Holmes and Elliott will make it to Rupp...count on it. Scott County has a much tougher road to Rupp with the 11th region being loaded with some quality teams.

Wow--Could we see a Anderson-EC rematch on Thr nite?? 16th was the last ball out last year and again this year. Could we see a Holmes-Scott Co. rematch in the quarters on Friday nite?? Will any of these teams even be there?? Agree-7th appears to be the happiest of the power regions right now, with their toughest opponent probably being the opening game vs. the 13th region. I was hoping not to see 7-9-11 until Sat nite, but Sat morning is second best scenario. Top bracket (Wed afternoon) appears to be the weakest quad bracket. EC could see re-match's against AC, GRC, or Shelby Valley in their quad.

Forgot Mason also which could be a re-match

If I had to predict:

West Jessamin v Hazard

Owensboro v North Hardin

Fairdale v Paducah Tilghman

Eastern v Corbin

Scott Co v Warren Central

Holmes v Christian Co

Mason Co v Shelby Valley

Anderson Co v Elliott Co

The top bracket is tough to predict though as Hazard is the only real favorite to win their region. Every other region has 2-4 teams capable of winning the region.

Bottom Bracket Friday Night will be a big crowd.

 

Could be Scott Co vs Holmes

Mason Co/GRC vs Elliott Co

Shelby Valley will crash this party.

I am already so excited, should be a great tournament! and the Friday night session will be a flaming hot ticket!

If I had to predict:

 

West Jessamin v Hazard

Owensboro v North Hardin

Fairdale v Paducah Tilghman

Eastern v Corbin

Scott Co v Warren Central

Holmes v Christian Co

Mason Co v Shelby Valley

Anderson Co v Elliott Co

Kind of an interesting first round match up also, possibly Corbin or South Laurel vs Louisville Eastern.:thumb:
