Who knows with the way Pikeville plays..They will beat you one night by 15 and lose 3 nights later by 25..Too inconsistant to contend with the Dawgs! Hazard by 18.

One final thought on the game before I leave for the drive to Hazard. In my mind, I see Pikeville coming out at full throttle to gain a big lead early in the game and then for Hazard to fight back to take the game into the final quarter for a very close finish. Who wins? The team with the most heart. Best wishes to both team. Give the fans a good, hard fought and clean game. Have character, not be one.

I would like to see a close game but I don't think that Pikeville can match up inside with Michael Campbell and Justin Jones. If Hazard pounds the ball inside early then it will open the outside for Josh Whitaker to shoot the ball or penetrate and kick it out to open shooters.

But once again, best of luck to both teams!

Look for Pikeville to use a helper defense to crowd the inside and this can cause a lot of turnovers if the offensive player has not experienced this type of play. You may be right, as Pikeville are playing two sophs down low now. I would say that Bart will defend Josh Whitaker because of his shooting ability. This could be a coach's game as conditions change and plans go awry.

Hazard has too much talent for Pikeville. Hazard by 15+.
