Many people expect to see them in the state finals, but that is going to be a tough feat. Although none of the teams in the bottom bracket are traditional powers, all are capable of beating SV on a given night. If tonight's game was played next Thursday, SV would be going home. Foul trouble could really hurt SV's chances of doing well. Poor shooting could be a major factor as well. Most people are expecting to see them in the semis or finals because the bottom of the bracket is the weaker part, but almost everyone down there has as good a shot as SV to be playing Saturday.

I very much agree with you.

Last season at the state tournament, poor shooting and poor free throw shooting killed SV. Seemed like the whole team wanted to give the ball to EJ and watch him do his thing, but that got them beat last season and if others aren't aggressive besides EJ, then SV will be heading home very early.
