Thoughts on this one?

awesome matchup could go either way. EB playing really good lately. Gimme EB by 4 in a barnburner

[NtoS23]

Eastern is gonna be interesting to follow in the tournament. Can they score enough come tournament time to supplement the halfcourt defense that they can play? Eastern can grind you out and frustrate you in the halfcourt defensively. Always curious to see if they can score enough in the halfcourt

[SHACFan]

SHAC flexes its muscle here, Eastern and Buechler move on.

[SoutheastHoopsWizard]

Chesapeake will likely win this one as I believe the OVC schedule was more challenging. However, Beucler will have Eastern prepared.

How is it more challenging? Chesapeake lost at home to Lucasville Valley. Outside of Fairland, I think top to bottom Eastern is more tested, but I am biased. Regardless should be an excellent game.

I believe the OVC top to bottom is stronger than the SHAC. Just my opinion. Although I will say Chesapeake's non-league schedule was not very strong.

Agreed on both of the last two parts.

Chesapeake’s schedule was pretty bad in the non-conference, but facing Fairland and Ironton is tougher than facing North Adams and Fairfield once. Eastern had zero games within 9 points in SHAC play that they won, went 0-2 is the closer games. That’s not being really tested. They beat the 3rd place team in their side by a combined 65 points.

OVC prob better than SHAC but peake had the weakest outta conference schedule ive ever seen

just pulled up maxpreps rpi and in all of SEO d5 the only team with weaker opponent winning % than peake was Alexander, Wellston, and Nelsonville York.

so out of 18 teams in se D5 they were 15th out of 18 when it comes to opponent winning %.

not good

Eastern better bring their very best. Peake is a very good team and took Fairland to double OT twice. Very balanced with good size, speed and defense.

[WonderNova]

This is going to be a good one! Peake has been strong all year. I haven't got to see them, but follow scores and watch clips. Common opponent Fairland, Eastern lost by 2 or 3. They had the ball to take the lead when an away from the ball offensive foul on the inbound swung the momentum. The SHAC's top is good, with North Adams, Fairfield, Eastern,a decent Fayetteville and an improving Whiteoak and Peebles. The SHAC's bottom not very good at all. The Warriors had win over D3 Western Brown, and a win on the road vs. Cincinnati Country Day. They see. To be peaking at the right time, but the Panthers are a tall task. Can't wait, it's gonna be a good.
