I don't know why everyone thinks Paintsville is supposed to be some super power or something. They are a very talented team, but small and sometimes come out flat. Yes, they are the region favs IMO and if they play their best should be able to beat any 15th Region team. But that doesn't make them invincible. Yes, they could come out pumped and on fire and beat Pikeville 20+ points on a given night. But they could also come out flat and possibly lose to Pikeville on another night. The key thing to remember is that just because they are the most talented team doesn't mean that they will blow everyone out. I expect them to have close games this year and lose some as well. Most teams play their best against them and Paintsville (for whatever reason) sometimes is flat. And if they go and play the way the did last year in the Region, they won't be going to Rupp.

To put everything in perspective, Paintsville should be the favorite in every game they play in the 15th this year. It doesn't mean they will win them all and it doesn't mean that they will blow everyone out either. And lastly, it doesn't mean that they will go to Rupp. The Region champ will have to earn it just like they do every year.
