Tuesday, January 14

It's Marion County Tournament week, so if you're in the Indy area that means, aside from tonight, there will likely be great matchups Wednesday, Friday and Saturday too.

The only bad thing about the tournament now is there used to be double headers on Tuesday and Wednesday, giving each site two games.  The only double header night is Friday night.  They really should just get back to double headers and split the profits between the teams, but OH WELL...

Marion County Tournament games start at 6:30pm tonight. 

Top matchup Tuesday...

Warren Central (8-2) at Pike (9-2) 

If you lose to Lawrence North and Hamilton Southeastern this season, that's not exactly a horrible happening.  Doing it on the same weekend after starting the season 8-0, likely makes for a bad weekend.  Warren Central is looking to bounce back.  Not sure Pike is the cure for bouncing back.

Both teams are led by high scoring guards, Malik Stanley for Warren, Davion Bailey for Pike, but this game might come down to which sophomores have the biggest impact.  Chandler Jackson for Warren has been huge, and Pike is getting a double dose of production from JJ Louden and Ryan Conwell.
