[washed up]

To answer the original question, about the 16th region, I would say that it is pretty competitive among all teams. As they say, "On any given night" I believe that at this point the only two teams that have proven they have the consistency to win threee straight are Russell and Fleming. Boyd needs to shoot it well from the perimeter, can they do it for 3 games? Ashland has terrible rebounding fundamentals, definite matchup problem with Russell. I think Rowan, Lewis, and Morgan can beat anyone of the top teams. I might include East in that group but I think they have some injury problems. Would like to see record crowds and a lot of energy in the gym. It will be fun to watch.
