This game has to give some of the bubble teams in Class A some hope.  Obvioisly Pikeville has been the standard but both  these teams have been the top teams in Class A for several years and neither team looks very good right now.

Agreed. But still some hope, they both look exactly like they did last September then both made it to Kroger.

Defensively both teams look solid and will shut down most Class A teams.  The issue both teams are having is a lack of offensive identity.  Not having Anthony in the backfield hurts Pikeville a lot too.
