all i was saying that all the cocky paintsville people put all over here how they were going to walk in there win by 50 and walk out..they got more than they bargained for...next time paintsville fans dont get too high on ur selves

Congrats to the Tigers and a good game by the Panthers!

Paintsville didn't play their best and Pikeville gave them a good game. And everyone quit blaming the refs for crying out loud. I guess the Paintsville influence and home cooking even follows them into Pikeville's own gym?? Refs make bad calls and they miss calls, they are only human. But I doubt very seriously that any mistakes they made tonight would have any effect on the outcome of the game. Every losing team's fans blame the refs and at least most of the time that would not have changed the outcome.

As for the Tiger fans and their opponents, everyone should keep their expectations realistic. Paintsville may be the region favorites and with their talent, they should be. But that doesn't make them unbeatable on a given night. If Paintsville has an off night and another team is hot, then Paintsville can be beat. That is what makes this game so great and gives March Madness its magic. I would predict that Paintsville will win against any 15th Region team, but I know that somewhere along the season they will most likely lose to someone in the 15th. But no team is likely to come into Pikeville and blow out the Panthers by 50 points. Get real!
