Thanks. Yes indeed. They fell behind 12 to 4 but then dominated. They were an incredible 17 for 18 from the field in the second half Really great kids in that team. Plus St Laurence won too.
Nothing a team can do when the opponent doesn't miss shots lol
Tough one coming up with Young, but they seem vulnerable. Tough one with Bogan too. Good luck Tuesday!
Thanks. I wish I could be at 2 games at the same time !! I say bogan pulls away late but I say York by 5
We have Aurora West this evening in a revenge match for last year's exit from the post season in the Sectional Final. If we take care of business we could get Waubonsie Valley (which would be football revenge) and the opportunity to nearly remove an entire city from the post season (Matea Valley being the only other Aurora school in 4A).

Alton would likely whip whoever Weat wins against in the finals.

Brook over Aurora West 75-61. Weird game, but survive and advance.
Oswego E puts a tremendous beating on Waubonsie.

Covered Herrin-ESL tonight.
Was expecting a 30-point blowout, but Herrin went right at them and lost 61-52.
Effective both pushing the ball and in the half-court.
Its kids were not afraid to go to the basket against bigger East side players. Herrin's point guard was really good, but the Flyers' defense almost made him a non-factor in second half.
Flyers won it with their defense -- held Herrin to five points in fourth quarter, and just three in last 7:57.

I agree. The finals could possibly be a big let down this year. The upper bracket is solid, but the lower bracket is a murderer's row... I would pick Alton over who ever comes out of the upper bracket in the finals.
I disagree. Rockford East and Curie are very good teams. Both of those teams have a TJ, EJ or Donavan Clay on their Roster plus a lot more. I am not sure about all the teams but I have those two first hand and they can really really play.
Of the top bracket I've seen Evanston and Loyola. Of the bottom bracket I only haven't seen Young. We're not too far from DGN, wish we could switch.
Curie is in the lower bracket. I would pick them over Alton. I think they're going to win the lower bracket and the championship.
I’ve seen Currie play - I’ve not seen Rockford. Saw some clips - see their roster.
I like West, Alton or ESL over them.
Both beat ESL already. I watched both games live. Both Teams will beat Alton and have great games against West. I am proud of the SWC this year however I respect very good teams. Those two are very good teams and deserve the respect in my opinion.
I think that bottom bracket is a grinder. Curie is legit, not physically overwhelming, but they just play really well. I haven't seen Rockford E, but everything I heard is that they're legit.
I was unimpressed with Danville the times I saw them. Evanston was a good team, but not overwhelming either. Oswego E was better than I expected on Tuesday, but has some limitations.

They need to come up with a better system when setting the Sectional and Super Sectional location. IHSA should adjust location when travel is unnecessary. There is no reason the East Moline (United) Sectional should still be played in East Moline when the travel times become ridiculous for both schools.
-Danville is a 3 hour and 10 min drive
-Belleville West is a 3 hour and 45 min drive.
Changing a location to a neutral 4a program in the middle such as Chatham Glenwood or Springfield HS would make much more sense.
No other school has a travel time of over an hour. (South Elgin to Rock Valley -59 min)

Can’t find West stream. Watching the Brook warm up now against OE.

Jesus.
Someone needs to question their Mama’s virtue before each game so they keep some fire.
