This is always a sad night for Uncle Mike. The end of the regular season means the end of basketball is near. It also means his ridiculous tournament predictions will soon be exposed.
Here is the last bit of his regular-season wit and wisdom – aah, yeah.
Northern Indiana
Argos 45, Culver Academies 43
What a big win for the Dragons. Shades of ’79?
Concord 101, Westview 52
I know this seems like a bad loss, but after facing Concord, the sectional field is going to look like a tea party.
Huntington North 76, Manchester 25
This is called masterful scheduling, my friends.
Jimtown 54, LaVille 39
They must have played eight quarters.
Rochester 66, Logansport 59
I didn’t know Zebras ate fruit.
South Bend Adams 81, Bowman Academy 74
I am looking forward to a possible tourney game between Lafayette Central Catholic and Bowman Academy. I’ve never seen a game where people rooted for both teams to lose.
Wheeler 57, Hobart 55
Darn that suburban flight!
Central Indiana
Carmel 38, Brebeuf 37
It wouldn’t make any difference if it was the Boston Celtics or the Celtics from the YMCA league, Carmel would figure out a way to make it close.
Indianapolis Arlington 79, Indianapolis Attucks 63
In case you have never noticed, Larry Nicks is a class act. I mean that very sincerely.
Lafayette Central Catholic 52, Carroll (Flora) 48
Whoa! That was with Carroll minus two of its better players. That is seriously impressive by the Cougars.
Monroe Central 65, Jay County 60 (OT)
Just when you thought Monroe Central was fading, they pull this one off. Can I change my predictions?
Noblesville 43, Lebanon 29
Lebanon had THREE points at halftime of this game. Now, there is nothing remotely funny about that. However, it was slightly amusing to hear the hometown radio announcer drone on after the game about how the Tigers played better in the second half. Nah, really?
Oak Hill 66, Northfield 49
They call this the Norm Sloan Bowl. If anybody gets that reference, you are one of the great basketball fans in Indiana.
Turkey Run 47, North Central (Farmersburg) 41
Joey Hart is one of the best coaches nobody has ever heard of.
Southern Indiana
Borden 71, Salem 58
This is not the way Salem wanted to head into a difficult sectional.
Lawrenceburg 92, Oldenburg Academy 52
I bet Oldenburg wishes it was still all girls.
Vincennes Rivet 70, Shoal 44
If I had told you before the season started that Rivet would win a sectional in both girls and boys, you would have sent over the guys in the little white coats. Hey, it could actually happen.
