Felt bad that the Warren kid couldn't go. They would still lost but it would have been more competitive. What the majority of fans will remember most about this one is the 45 minute conversation with Kristina Balla.

The crowd fiasco tonight is exactly why we don’t need the tourney at the arena, it’s a horrible atmosphere and the logic of turning folks away when at least a couple of thousand people have left is ridiculous. Greed has to give way and allow the kids to have a truly memorable experience when they play in the region tourney.

Were people being turned away?

yes it’s all over social media. Had a big crowd for first game, some kind of ticketing double booking where date/times moved with storms yesterday, and then even after a massive part of crowd left after first game they refused to sell tickets to people for second game or let them in. Saw on social media where several Barbourville parents couldn’t get in.

Wow. That's terrible. You could see tons of empty seats all over during the second game.
I take it that they only sold the number of tickets for the total seats in the arena and capped it at that without counting any in and out's?

Sounds like maybe Kristina Balla needed to stay the hell off the WYMT broadcast for an hour and try to seat some paying customers. Good thing Lynyrd Skynyrd wasn't in town for the mayhem !!!

Corbin needs to bring the game they brought against Harlan County and not the one they brought tonight if they want to have a shot. I think that they were looking ahead in the semi. Could have been playing down to the competition as well.

Surreal watching WYMT spent most of the second half of the game interviewing the Corbin Arena director instead of calling the game. I personally thought it was disrespectful to both teams.

I thought it was one off the oddest things I've ever seen. Extremely disrespectful and even more boring than the game. Five minutes would have been fine but most of the second half...WTF??? Freddie Maggard must have liked her boobies.
Did anyone besides me think it was extremely odd how B'Ville coach Chris Taylor allowed Corbin to just stand with the ball and drain the remaining minute and a half of the clock at the end of the first half with his team down 14 points?
That, along with WYMT broadcasting Kristina Balla's 40 minute advertisement for the Arena while she was locking the doors on paying customers made this game one of the most bizarre I've ever been witness to.

Taylor is a good coaches, he was outmanned even with his best player, without his best player he was really outmanned. If it was a run and gun game Corbin would’ve won by 40.

A agree, he's done a fine job but it seemed like he was waving the white towel at the end of the first half just letting Corbin run out the clock.
