Despite Thompson winning the two games with CV by only 4 and 3 points, they are on a roll heading into the tournament no matter how close the games may be. That only makes them tougher come tournament time because they know how to handle the close games. They have won something like 7 games in a row or more, I am not quite positive on that, but I do know they have one a large amount here at the end of the year. They knocked of Hillsboro already when they were ranked in state, and just knocked off Northern Cass by 2 when they were ranked #8 in state. I could also see them taking out Hillsboro again in the semis since they have beaten them by 9 already this year. Just some thoughts is all, we will have to wait and see how it all shakes down at the Lewey Lee Fieldhouse

Some regular season facts to keep in mind:
- Dakota Prairie only beat May-Port CG by 3 points.
- Hatton-Northwood split with Larimore.
- Hillsboro took two from Griggs County Central, but one of those was by 3 points.
- Thompson took two from Central Valley, by 4 and 3 points, respectively.

There are also other things one could point to, such as May-Port CG beating Thompson, but Thompson beating several teams after that. In the end, I think there's the potential for three or four upsets on day one. The unpredictability factor could make the tournament more exciting.

On the other hand, I could be completely wrong...

I think I would agree more with you then I would cubsfan

I think cubsfan is predicting tomorrow's winners.

#1 Hillsboro
#2 DP
#3 Thompson
#4 Larimore

I think that Hillsboro can beat DP if they play hard, the first time that they played they were down by 4 at the half, but in the 2nd half I think they just lost their confidence. And also by the way that Hillsboro played tonight against Thompson, they look like they can compete. This will just be a great game, it will not be the 35 point difference it was during their only meeting earlier this year. DP is tough, no doubt

Thompson will play H-N in a loser-out game. Thompson will win because they can outwork H-N in the 4th quarter. It will be a good game but in the end someones gotta win . Thompson will win because of the team inner turmoil that has ripped the Thunder apart. It shows on the floor.

Larimore and CV will also play a loser-out game. CV will play hard but by the way that Larimore played against DP says that they can compete.I take CV in this one, they're hungry

Just have to wait and see who wants to win and who doesn't.....
