I totally agree Gridiron. Blake has really bounced back from his slow start. I need to put him back in my top 10 players. Bell co is a real contender with a healthy Burnett. Last year Corbin pushed Bell around both games. Curry and Barton were very physical and somewhat bullied the young Bobcats last year. I think this year its a different story. One more year of experience and strength and conditioning will help them. I still think they have no answer for Eli Pietrowski. They must match his physicality. I do think the Akins/Burnett matchup will be key. Burnett has been a known name for a couple of years but no one anticipated Akins to be this good. Akins is capable of playing great defense but it's hard to keep a healthy Burnett down for the entire game. Whoever wins the point guard battle may determine who wins. Corbin trades the physical play of Curry and Barton for the more offensively skilled players in Ryder Akins and Dawson Farmer. Corbin must find Bell Co shooters early. If not, Corbin will lose. Bell is the best shooting team 1-5 than any team in the region. The question with them will always be their ability to match Corbin's physicality.
