Two good basketball teams seeking atonement for first night miscues have righted their ships and made there way to what should be a very competitive title game.
The Nashville Warriors (25-11) have beaten:
Eastside Golden Eagles 70-49
Cincinnati Landmark 71-43
Crestwood Calvary 47-40
The Indianapolis Wildcats (40-4) have defeated:
Derby Invasion 48-42
Knoxville Ambassadors 51-40
San Marcos Panthers 62-45
Both teams play solid defense, use good ball movement and balance inside game with their outside shooting. Two teams finishing the year in the top ten rankings both disappointed for where they are playing I am sure, but are set to give us a hard fought 4A title game. It should be worth watching.
The Indianapolis Wildcats quietly reaching 40 wins with yesterdays victory - 40 wins is itself a significant accomplishment regardless of tournament issues.
They play on Court #20 and after yesterday that seems to be the place to be.
More court #20 magic today. The Nashville Warriors and the Indianapolis Wildcats played a very competitive hard fought game today with the Wildcats winning 76-75 in 2 overtimes.
This was a close game all the way. Early in the fourth Nashville took the lead, but the Wildcats overcame the deficit to tie the game and push it into overtime. The overtimes were equally competitive with scores going back and forth.
In the end the wildcats used a free throw to close it out with 3.5 seconds left and a Memphis turnover killed their chances in the last second. Congratulations to both teams for a fantastic game and finish, it was truly exciting.
For me it was my seventh overtime period on that court in two days. That is some kind of competitive basketball.
