Well third time will be the charm for someone! Bath looked like a machine in dismantling Willard, while Elida rode five in double figures to the convincing win. Thoughts on this one?

1 will be a close game, as the previous two were
2. It's hard to beat a good team 3 times in one year...that being said Bath by 4
3. The Rockhold's defensive pressure will be huge in containing elidas offense and tempo
4. WBL was a bit stronger than most people predicted at the beginning of the year
5. If you show up at the game, you get to see two amazing squads duke it out with everything on the line and you might catch a glimpse of me...which is really worth the price of admission by itself

This will be a state championship like atmosphere. A lot of passionate fans that are going to be crazy. If Bath makes shots like they did tonight iced with the way mathias shot tonight , they'll blow Elida out of the water.. However I don't see that happening, this ones coming down to the wire for anyone to win.

great players do great things in great big games...I expect Mathias to be a big factor (either scoring or dishing), however, if Bath can try to numb his shooting hand down a little by that trap/mid court press D they displayed in Bath vs Elida v.2.0, they have a chance to win.

working an inside/out O with Taren is going to be key to opening up the basket down low.

it's gonna be a tight game no doubt. better get there a bit early...anybody know when doors open? 7pm tip

Normally doors open an hour before tipoff at tournament games. So 6:00, but you can bet there will be people waiting in line well before that.

Agree... It is the worst tournament venue in NW Ohio.

You are talking about two teams are travel very well and don't care about the seating as long they get a seat. This game I think will live up to the hype that is building up.

Yes there will be tickets available at the door. They were still selling tickets at elida hs until 12 or 1 according to koza.
