Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
Fairfield Leesburg is not a 7 and still confused on why you have Western & East over ND, when ND beat Western twice and East once. I can see SW over ND due to them winning head to head. You say ND had a bad loss to SV, but East had a bad loss to St. Joe and ND ha beat St. Joe x2.
Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
I think the biggest thing we take for granted is that the coaches are going to look at the big picture, not just one particular game. What I mean is, so many people say "Well ND beat Western twice you can't put Western over ND!" or "Western beat Eastern twice how can Eastern be over Western"
End of the day, coaches are going to look at the big picture. They're going to look at all results and then determine who they think is the best teams and the best matchups for themselves.

Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
I do agree and usually it goes by record according to years past.
Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
ND lost to Symmes Valley, you could go on and on about who lost to who and who beat who and by how much, at the end of the day, I say it goes by the eye test. Who is playing better basketball RIGHT NOW? This friday will tell a lot.AllAboutTheU wrote:Fairfield Leesburg is not a 7 and still confused on why you have Western & East over ND, when ND beat Western twice and East once.

This is worded very well and what I was trying to say. Notre Dame also trailed for 3 quarters against St. Joe last night and had to come back to win. They're not playing the best ball right now, and if we're aware of it, I'm sure the coaches are too.
And, on top of that, would ND really be opposed to the 8 seed? They've played right with Clay and lost at the end both games. That's not a bad matchup for them, and if they beat Clay they have a phenomenal path to a district championship game. I think they matchup better with Clay than they do Eastern or Peebles.

Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
the 6,7,8 seed will depend on who 1,2,3 want to play.

Not if 4-5-6-7-8, and 10 or 11 get together on the vote I don't know if this is the case, but it's is somewhat unpredictable.

Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
Agree with most, but I'd bet money SW won't be the 8 and I don't see why WhiteOak (2 wins) would be over New Boston (4 wins).Western24 wrote:Two more days until the seeding will be closed. Cant wait to see what it turns out to be.

Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
I honestly don't know where to put SW, I only went with that because of the records as of now. I just think whiteoak is better then New Boston. Without the Truit Kid from New Boston they struggle to score. Just my opinion though. I recently watched Western play Whiteoak and they play extremely hard.
Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
If I were to change on I guess id move SW in front of ND and move everyone down one.
Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
In your defense.....I believe Whiteoak scrimmaged at New Boston this preseason and from what I heard Whiteoak won every quarter and some weren't close.Western24 wrote:I honestly don't know where to put SW, I only went with that because of the records as of now.

Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
About 40ish hours until it locks. It'll be interesting to see how the games go tomorrow, and if it will alter the seeding or not.
If I remember correctly, the Fairfield Leesburg guy always does something wacky. He'll probably put himself at the 1 haha

Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
As good as this sectional is, would any consider teams in this sectional as good as Waterford? I watched them last year and I know they were tough. Can anyone shed some light?
Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
I've seen them twice this season.. Good combination of size and guard play, very deep (8-9 kids without missing a beat). Very good, yes. By no means are the 1-8 in this sectional at a huge disadvantage. Personally, I think Waterford has every reason to be a little "nervous" as to what's coming out of the 4-5 matchup at Northwest. Whoever it is, it's going to be a really solid team that's battle tested and will not be intimidated by the moment. Waterford will be the favorite, but I think the gap is much smaller than people are making it out to be.Western24 wrote:As good as this sectional is, would any consider teams in this sectional as good as Waterford?

Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
I'm telling you all, stay away from the 4-5. I think Waterford is a man among boys this post-season. They are the equivalent of 2 buzz saws and could take a team to the woodshed very quick.
Re: D4 Boys Northwest Sectional Teams and Outlook
Depth is the thing that separates the men from the boys as the tourney goes on. If your subs contribute you can and move on. That's what really shines when you play private schools especially in DIVbbjunky81 wrote:I've seen them twice this season..
