I appreciate the optimism LOOKAYANNER but it is a long and bumpy road until then. Eastern first has to do what it hasn't done in a many years and make it out of the 7th region. Not an easy task when you have to make it through Ballard, J'Town, Trinity and Male. I love Eastern's team, the only thing they're missing is an inside presence. Now, they are long enough and athletic enough to make up for it against most teams, but teams with established big men (i.e. Scott Co., Holmes etc.) are a concern.

I hope you're right and that they do play on for the title, but I will be happy to see them just get into Rupp.

Very good points, it would be good to get to Rupp.
