I Agree. I add: Grimm easily won the battle between those two. If he got the ball on the post, he easily backed Hopson up under the goal, and scored easily more than a couple times. I don't think Vanhoose or Bundy played up to par in todays game. And Murray had his moments on defense, but did some uncharacteristic offensive moves. Overall, the Tigers made the mountains proud IMO. On another note, you gotta consider: Paintsville only goes 6 deep and it showed in this game. I feel the boys were running on Empty, (the red light was flashing in their car), as Grimm and Murray had to be taken out a couple of times for simply cramps I suppose, and the 6 of them may have been a little sluggish than usual IMO......However, I do believe if Paintsville would have beat UHA, they would have won it all. They were the 2nd best team in this tournament IMO.

I agree! The Tigers were stretched thin and I'm sure a little on the tired side. But the FT shooting was only around 58% which is not typical and they shot horribly from 3 point range. Two more of those 3's fall and they hit a couple more FT's and the game was theirs. Not even counting the 3 -4 ridiculous turnovers late in the game which cost us valuable possessions. But they did do well and we can't fault them. Congrats to the Tigers and BMR!!
