I didn't get to see it due to prior obligations, but from the quarterly cell-phone updates I was getting I'd imagine tension was tight at the former Page Laurie Arena.
Apparently a Lincoln-Prep stud caught fire in the first half, draining five three pointers and keeping the game in-check. I would imagine that a combination of brutal defense and pounding away in the paint by the Bulldogs eventually wore Lincoln down.
I'll be in front of the computer tomorrow for the 'Ship. It seems that I keep hearing two completely different accounts about this St. Charles West team. Some people say there's no way they can be beat, and other's say they seem beatable. Obviously, they aren't immortal. Winning their final two games on a buzzer-beater and an overtime rally. Word is their a little short, with good guard play.
I hope this match is everything it's hyped up to be. It could be a high school championship of epic thrill. It's my hope that everyone in Columbia tomorrow gets to see one hell of a basketball game. It's too bad it has to be played at Mizzou Arena, a place tainted by bad basketball and thug life. Not to mention, it resembles, in no way, a high school basketball atmosphere.
I know. I know. It's good for the kids. But imagine a state championship being played in a little high school gym? The crowd should be a factor at this stage. The students are the sixth man. Why not create a Notre Dame-Sikeston atmosphere for the biggest game of the year?
Maybe something to think about. Dream about it. Dream about being able to sit close and being involved in the game rather than sit 311 feet away, needing every bit of your eye glasses to see your favorite player.
Good luck to the 'Dogs. Get some, baby.
