Ah, basketball

College basketball is my all-time favorite sport. My fantasy is to be in Las Vegas and sit in a sports book and watch every game of the first round. High school basketball is a close second for favorite, though. In both college and high school, it sure would be nice if there were more free throws made. The Panthers just lost a one-point squeaker to rival N. Harrison. If they'd have made a couple more free throws they could have won. On the other hand, N. Harrison had a chance to put the game away at the end of the 4th quarter, but missed the front end of a one and one.

The other thing that I noticed in the N. Harrison game was that Corydon failed too many times to follow their shots. They'd take a 3-pointer and drop back to defend instead of going aggressively forward to be ready for a rebound if their shot didn't go in. Which happened too many times.

Still waiting to see how the girls adjust to Mr. Uhl's system. Seemed to work pretty well Thursday night when they hammered Scottsburg. Jeffersonville will be a test Saturday night.
