North Dakota Preps

Any Body Know the match ups

#1 Barnes County North vs #8 Enderlin, #4 Finley-Sharon-Hope-Page vs #5 Maple-Valley, #3 Northern Cass vs #6 Griggs County Central, #2 LMM vs #7 Milnor

There's the matchups what does everyone one think the outcome will be?

the sizer/ostrom matchup in the semifinals should be fun

A few things, I find it interesting that FSHP beat BCN earlier in the year and yet they get a four seed and BCN gets the #1.

Also rumor has it, that Dunn from Northern Cass has been injured. I can't confirm this, but if it is true that would be a big loss.

If I had to pick this bracket I would go with a FSHP and LMM final. I think LMM might be the best team when it is all said and done. I like what Coach Lueck has done especially with their defense.

I also agree with Rocky i dont understand how bcn grabbed the one seed yet fshp who beat bcn falls all the way to number 4 hmmm..

I heard Dunn has a broken hand.  I see FSHP winning against MV, but BCN has been coming on strong...It will be a good tourney.

BCN has came a long way from the first night I have seen that they have put up some impressive numbers. I don't see FSHP beating BCN.  I think it will Be BCN ans LMM in the championship game. LMM has done very well with there new coach and has been impressive early in the year.

I got this, but Dunn's injury could affect things

8. Enderlin   7. Milnor   6. GCC   5. Maple Valley   4. Northern Cass   3. FS/HP   2. BCN 1. LMM

Northern Cass will be in big trouble with out Dunn, just pressure the grauds and its over. I know he didnt play against Lisbon and they got killed.

Dunn's injury is a huge blow to that team. They have some decent players but now what they lack is a "go-to" guy. I see them getting out of the first round before falling to LMM.

I was at the NC/FSHP game last night....Dunn had a hard cast on his right hand, they told me he broke his wrist in that lisbon game in the first quarter. NC still managed to beat FSHP and i'll tell you why and how....NC was relentless with there full court pressure for the whole game.....FSHP ran out to a 17 point lead witht like 3 min to go in the first half....NC cut it too 9 at half....then slowly picked away at it in the 3rd quarter....cut it too 2 points goin into the fourth...at the end of the third the FSHP assistant coach got T'd up...so that gave NC more momentum....they just couldnt find away to answer the NC press....WAY to MANY turnovers.......I really wanna know how they seed those teams in that tournament...because at the time they did the seedings the top 4 teams were all 2 and 1.....and FSHP beat BCN....they should be the number 1 seed...or at least higher than BCN...

Each coach in the tournament submits his seedings (excluding his own team) and that is how they come up with the tournament seeds. 

Does anyone know if the players that were not playing for mapple valley are able to play again?  If they have them back for this it should help them out a little bit....but i dont know if its enough to beat any of the top 2 teams.

i was listening to the game. why did the assistant coach get a "T". the radio announcer wasnt sure. although he did say right after it fshp couldnt regroup

Looking at the stats from the NC FSHP game it looks like NC got some players to step up for their team. 3 players in double figures. NC did force alot of TO's but it looks like they gave the ball back just about as many times. They definately in my opinion are getting out of the first round and we'll see what happens from there on out.

NC could surprise some people but i don't see them beating LMM.

I haven't heard much about Milnor. Are they any good?

I don't know much about them besides that they lost to Maple Valley by 4. I dont know if that is much of an indicator.

The Barnes County Tournament can be put into three groups.

Group 1 the bottom feeders: Enderlin, Milnor, Griggs County

Group 2 Stuck in the middle: Maple Valley

Group 3 Anybody could win this tourney: BCN, LMM, Northern Cass, FSHP

Not trying to offend anybody thats just how it is.

No team is going to go on and contend for a region title.

i'm going to say either northern cass, barnes county north, or fshp will win this tournament. i just have a feeling when fshp clicks they are going to be a heck of a team.

Anyone have the scores so far for the night? i just caught the end of the milnor game and it sounded pathetic.

haven't heard anything yet...doug peters from vcsu should be sending me some stuff after the night wraps up, but until then all i can tell you is that florida is beating arkansas 75-69 with 24.2 remaining in the second half

BCN won by like 25 or so. FSHP beat MV by 4.  LMM won by 6 or 7 against Milnor. Last game is still in progress on the radio.

NC won big over GCC

Lets hear some predictions for tommorow nights semifinals
