Breathitt's last regional championship came in 1996. During the twenty three year drought, there have been ups and downs, but it seems to me, the bobcats have consistently put a good group of guards on the floor. There were a couple of years where Breathitt was the overall favorite to win the region, but just fell short. During those years, something that stuck out the most were, the bobcats were able to put talented big men around good guard play. With that being said, other than a couple of years from 2003-2006, Breathitt has had a hard time developing and putting talented big men on the floor. Personally, I feel like Breathitt was a "big man" away from being the best team in the region this year. If you look at games where they struggled, it was against teams who had a big guy, or guys who could rebound and score. A perfect example was Estill County last year, they had a solid group of guards, surrounded by a good group of big men. In the 14th region, where it is usually guard dominated, you need a guy that's going to get you 10 to 15 points and 8 to 10 rebounds a game, to have a shot at going to RUPP.

Very good analysis!
