N W VS BURG

[callie11]

Of all teams at the Conve last weekend, I thought Northwest had the best performance Sunday. Looked like the most poised.

Pretty cool matchup I think. Potential to be a really good one. Looking forward to watching it.

Burg will need to limit one of NW top two scorers below their average to win it. Hard to keep lintz from getting down hill toward the basket so they may have to zone some and take chances on north west being cold from the arc.

Offensively burg can score quickly so north west will want burg to not get off to a hot start.

I do think this will be a close one, NW has 3-4 starting seniors in this one and they compete. I think you’ll see Lintz on Lattimore which could be a good matchup. Both teams playing with a ton of confidence I’ll go with Burg by 6 but won’t be surprised with a NW upset.

NW is physical on defense and patient on offense. If BURG is careless with the ball and dont shoot free throws any better they'll lose.

Lattimore has to stay out of foul trouble this game and there hasn't been a team yet that has been able to stop him from driving to the basket or he just jump stops and hits like a 12 footer and I think as long as Rucker and McGraw look to score like they did against SP Burg will be in good shape and Burg defense IMO is the best around the area and I do give NW credit they have alot of senior starters that have played alot of ball together I do think that Burg matches up well with them but this game could go either way I think. Also Burg has to shoot better from the free throw line 7 for 21 won't get it in this game. Bur I like Burggs chances I'll take Burg by 7 so GO BURG PLAY HARD AND SMART WE GOT THIS !!!!

I doubt you'll see Lintz on Lattimore maybe just a little bit. Probably be Lewis or Jenkins. Lewis or Jenkins usually gets the oppositions best player.

This should be an instant classic.

Makes since guessing they do that do Lintz isn’t wearing himself out on both ends.

Should be a good competitive game. I’m sure NW is aware but burg will actually give effort and play D

I'll ask the question, any one streaming these games ?

I look for SOSA to stream both Friday games and Saturday games.

BMG Media will be streaming both Friday night games and NW/Burg on Saturday.

Look, when you get to this point in the tournament, you do not play bad teams. Teams may have a bad game but they are in this spot for a reason. Looking for a hard fought game Saturday. Both teams have been scouted and know what each other like to do and will do. It is all going to come down to execution on the offensive and defensive end, rebounding and staying out of foul trouble.

Yes, we will have all 4 games. The links should be posted soon

This should be a fun game, we said it on Overtime this week, but I think Burg needs to keep Jenkins, Lewis, Wolfenbarker from impacting the game on the offensive end.

Wolfenbarker is MY key for NW in this one ... he has the length, shooting touch from the perimeter to BE the "HIM" for Northwest ... the 6-4 sophomore looked comfortable hitting his 4/4 from beyond the arc the other night to go with 7 rbs ... he's a great option when you start pairing off the 2 or 3 must stop players on either team ... looking forward to seeing his napkin stat line post game Saturday night ...

Woul love to see Northwest get it done, but its difficult to pick against the Burg when playing another SOC team.

Mighty Mighty Mohawks channel the power of the "stache" and move on.

Great to see Northwest making a run. This has been a real fun group to watch since junior high. They've finally put it all together this season and giving their school/fans some great memories.

But like the poster said above, I just can't go against Burg against another SOC team in a game like this. Burg expects to be on this stage yearly, and Lattimore just wills them to win after win. Prater quickly becoming one of the best coaches in southeastern Ohio. I'll take Burg by a score of 57-54.*

Congrats to Lintz and Bolin for getting co player of the year and Jenkins for getting defensive player of the year in SOC2.
Scarberry was coach of the year.
