Maybe I worded myself wrong, I didn't mean to imply that Pikeville's win over Prestonsburg was somehow better than P-Burg's win. What I meant was that because it was on the road, I give Pikeville's 2 point win a little more credit than I would have if that close win had been on a neutral court. I also admit that by comparing just the margin of victories in the two games, Prestonsburg would get the edge.

However, you have to look deeper than that. Go beyond just those two games, and see that each team has done all season. Who has P-Burg beaten to brag about? Other than beating Pikeville, their best win is over Betsy Layne at home, followed by the Phelps win in the Expo this week. After that, it's slim pickings. Pikeville, on the other hand, has picked up impressive road wins over both East Ridge and Lawrence Co., in addition to a neutral site win over June Buchanan.

As for your last statement, it's entirely possible that Prestonsburg may be the better team. But based on what they've actually shown so far this year, there's way more evidence to rank Pikeville than there is for P-Burg.
