Ashland was  denied a chance last year to become the first undefeated state champ since Brewers(Not the Milwaukee ones)  finished  36-0 in  1948.   Since  then,  six teams entered the tourney undefeated but failed to finish perfect. The 2019-20 Tomcats were deprived of  even an opportunity to make history.  Maybe the Toms can make up for last year.

It's hard to say who will be affected by the "big stage" and who won't.  I really felt like South Laurel was affected by the Arena atmosphere this year. That usually doesn't happen with a Coach Davis team. South was simply woeful, seemed dazed and confused all game. Clay really played good D but South just wasn't the same team that went to Louisville and beat Trinity , beat Knox, and beat Corbin three times. My inclination is that this Knox team has the makeup to deal with Rupp Arena but we shall see.
