Whiteoak traveled there last year and got a taste of a final 4 team from a bigger division. Portsmouth lost everyone but Jayllen Carter while Whiteoak has most of their team back including their top 3 players who can all go for 20 any given game.

Carter went for 44 against Jackson so he will need to be limited. This should be a pretty good game. Whiteoak needs to understand they can win this game. Erase last year's game and give Portsmouth a taste of Motown.

I think Siep as a junior had like 26pts and 18 reb in this game last year. I like White Oaks seniors in this one 56-50

Yeah....Seip didn't care he was playing the most talented team around.....he just took it to them. I'm thinking he was 22/17

Seip was 19/16 going back to last year's thread. He did have a 28 pt, 17 rb, 8 block game last season

what is your prediction ironman?

Whiteoak by 8

ironman,
that's the kiss of death.hope you get one right. how many times have you seen wo this season?

Trojans are down, but Notre Dame handled white Oak pretty easy. With that in mind, I like the Trojans by 10.

Keep in mind it was the first game of the year. After Whiteoak finally woke up from the long bus ride at half time they played them pretty even in the second half.

Should be a good game. Hopefully Whiteoak comes in with intensity and has shows some pride on their home floor.

many times teams play to the level of their competition.

At Notre Dame and at Whiteoak....that's quite the difference for Whiteoak.

sparky doing his thing.....I'm sure my prediction has a lot to do with the outcome. If I was the kiss of death then I'd just predict the opponent to win every game.

i bet their coach would like that.

He would like the outcome if I was the KOD....of course I'd have parents texting me and rubbing it in my face. Lol

Portsmouth up 48-36...start of the 4th

Portsmouth is young, but there playing a lot better together

Portsmouth 61
Whiteoak 54

Final

ironman,
did you go to the game? whiteoak is playing some good teams tough. hopefully leads to tourny success. now stop picking them to win.

They'll just have to play Fairfield in the tourney anyways.

strength of schedule doesn't hold much water at the drawing but it does help as far as being prepared for some better competition.
do you have any stats from the game?

I've always liked the tougher schedule Whiteoak plays during the regular season. That sectional is full of SOC1 schools.....when was the last time Whiteoak lost in the sectional to one of those teams? Early 90's?
