Who do you have tonight? I think will be a 2-3 possession game with the Tigers getting out of Jackson with a win. I think the experience and depth of McClain will be too much for the Ironmen tonight in the end.

I agree I think it will be a 2-3 possession game, however I believe the Ironmen come out on top. McClain has more experience, but i don't see a lot of depth. They are very good with their starting 5 on the floor. they generally play 2 subs, as does jackson. I see this game being a 7 on 7. I give the edge to Jackson with their Athleticism.

Given that McClain has 10 seniors, I'm assuming that 8/9/10 for McClain are seniors, and that 8/9/10 is more experienced and maybe more talented than the Ironmen's 8/9/10.

I don’t think the 8-10 players will make much of a difference

That's what I'm saying though. If both teams got into Foul Trouble and had to play guys 8-10, McClain has more experience and depth there. All I'm saying.

I agree McClain has 10 seniors, I did not debate that. I would venture to say that 8-10 in a group of seniors have less playing time than 3-5 sophomores. Seniors 6-7 and younger Badgley were the primary players on JV last season. So really only 5 players on McClain Roster have varsity experience. and 4 players for Jackson have varsity experience.

Generally if you are 8-10 in a class, then younger kids will be getting more playing time to get them ready for when seniors 1-7 leave. So I will stick with this being a 7 on 7 game. If one team gets into foul trouble it will have a big impact on the game. If both team are in foul trouble, then its still a 2-3 possession game IMO.

Tigers can guard and have balanced scoring. All about tempo - most teams will struggle in the quarter court against McClain.

I like Jackson here.... I think McClain is getting a tad bit too much hype this early in the season.

I wouldn’t go that far. McClain is a very good basketball team, if they stay healthy they will have an excellent season. Toney and Badgley would start for probably any team in SEO.

Good Luck!

Place is poppin!

Great defense by McClain….our open looks aren’t very open. I’d almost step back a step to allow time.
