Alexander @ Vinton County 2/10

[Jake Roberts]

Went and seen an absolutely great game. If you missed this you really missed a
championship caliber game, NCAA action with a tip in at the buzzer to send it into OT. Congrats to the VC on the win. And Alex is just as good. game could have?should have been won by the Spartans. IMO the officiating was not "homered"
but was a game with some bad calls, some good calls, some great no calls, some questionable ones, like any great contested game will go. The only thing one can ask is how can Guthrie play this game w/o a foul?

GOOD LUCK TO VC and ALEX in the tourneys. This was a great tune up game for both!!!!

Dont know what game you attended but Dyl Guthrie had some fouls called on him. Could have?should have??? I could also say if VC crew would have sank half of the free shots, that they missed, this game would have never went into OT.

Didn't Alex miss a Free Throw to put them up 5. They only went up 4 and VC scored to cut it to 2 and then had the last shot... They would have had to make a three to even Tie for OT. You can say it for either side but Alex missed numerous layups and the refs weren't going to call a foul at the end when Alex's PG drove and was bumped. Alex needs to learn to slow it down when your up 6 with less than 3 min. to go, missed runout layup/ turnover on the wing was a 4 point swing that changed the whole game. Also the three before half was huge for VC Alex was going to take a 6 point lead into half and ended up only up 3! Great game none the less and have a little respect Flash your a division 2 school, good job.... Alex should say they own Meigs and every other school in the TVC that they beat consistantly but they seem to have a little more class than yourself.

Calm down, buddy, Alexander is a very good team. Just accept the fact that you guys will always be Robin and VC will always be Batman. Good luck in the tourny!

Sue E. Side, Im talking about all the freethrows VC missed throughout the course of the whole game. I havent been bashing Alex at all. Matter of fact, I honestly think if these two teams played once every week for a year, each team would win about 50%. Also stated that IMO, Alex IS the best D3 team in SE Ohio. Both these games , this year ,could have went either way. Read all my posts CAREFULLY before replying.

I understand all Im saying it you could say ya a free throw or a layup here and we win this game almost every game you play. That's part of basketball I respect your post its the people like Flash and a couple others who give Vinton a bad rep. Please read all my post before you post again.

Good luck to both teams tourney time!

THIS WAS A GREAT GAME!!!! The funny thing is I think Alex would beat Waverly soundly. It just goes to show that anything is possible in this game. Alex is a very good team that WILL make a post season run. They will have trouble against any team that rebounds well. VC killed them on the boards and as someone earlier posted they had no answer for the SKY BUS (aka Guthrie). Didnt understand some of Alex's coaching choices but it worked out well for VC. Now take care of business on Fri @ Belpre and keep the TVC Ohio title where it belongs.....In MacArthur!!!

I saw this game, and I saw the first one. What can be said? The game in McArthur is probably the best game I have ever saw. The one is Albany was good, but this one was great. OMG! What a great game, two great teams, two great coaches, two great programs, great atmosphere, great food, although you can't take it in the gym like you can at Alex, great officials, it was everything it should have been.
