Open Games tnite

These can go any which way. I don’t think much separates
#1 campo vs # 7 Sheldon. But it’s fun nonetheless.

My picks
1. I like Mitty even having to travel to a tough crusader gym. Last 2 games I watched MC I really enjoyed them but I’m doing to go with a more senior led team. MC will be back next year stronger.

2. Sheldon has a tough test against Clovis West on the road. Clovis has not played the same schedule Sheldon has. I would not be surprised if Sheldon beats them. They struggled shooting against MC and Clovis doesn’t have the same size and it’s not in a big arena so I think Sheldon offensively plays much better. Clovis can score with best of them though. I will go with upset here. Sheldon.

3. DLS vs Riordan. - I think the home spartans get the win and Riordan gets shafted. Riordan shouldn’t be on the road.

good luck and have fun.

My picks are just the opposite, but like you I think these three games could go either way.

All 3 home teams get some home cooking from the stripes and pull out W's

 

[Streak One]

Very competitive matchups.

Haven't seen Clovis West much, but Sheldon is always really tough this time of year.

I think Modesto Christian beats Mitty. MC can be up and down, but they can hurt you inside and outside which is a tough matchup.

I will go with DLS over Riordan. Home court plays a big role but will be interesting to see how DLS comes back after heartbreaking loss and Riordan comes back after section title

I’ll go CW, MC & DLS.
Home cookin’!

The officials for state games are neutral. You will not have officials from the Fresno or Sacramento area working at Clovis West tonight. The same holds true for all games in all divisions.

True, but they’re still playing n front of their home crowds, and studies have shown many refs tend to get swayed by the crowd reactions during a game. Not all refs, and it doesn’t guarantee anything, but it’s just nicer to play home games, especially in the playoffs. Plus you get to eat mom’s cookin’!

Extremely streak. I would love to be in frezzzno for that CW game . They have a great atmosphere. Home court hasn’t been as big of a factor. Clovis north last night. Lincoln. MC over folsom last week, etc. list goes on.

...studies have shown many refs tend to get swayed by the crowd reactions during a game...

Which studies exactly?

Kiddman with the hat trick

Larry, for what it's worth i think it's just as hard to pick every game wrong

I once did that with Keno. That's hard to do also.

Here's wishing you great hoops
