The top two girls basketball teams squared off at Northern Nash in Big East basketball as the Lady Bulldogs came calling. This one took extra time before the home standing Lady Knights were able to outlast the Lady Bulldogs 49-44. Northern takes the outright lead at 3-0 while Nash Central drops to 2-1.
The boys game turns out to be a track meet as Nash Central tied for the lead in the Big East travels to Northern Nash who was looking to move up in the standings. Once the track meet ended the visitors from Nash Central took home the victory 84-78. A huge win for Nash Central on the road.
These were the only games on the docket tonight as both the Hunt at Southern Nash double header and the Fike at Rocky Mount games will be played Wednesday night. For the time being the Nash Central boys have the conference lead over Hunt until their results Wednesday. The Lady Knights are in first regardless of what happens Wednesday.
NC State wins their first conference game at Pitt. The Pack matches up well with the Pitt big men which is the Pitt game going inside. The Pack cut that off and Pitt just doesn't shoot outside well enough. Pack 78-61.
Duke has lost their third straight game in conference. It is easy to see what their problem is. They have no one on the back line to stop dribble penetration. That is a bad problem to have when the outside players play ole' defense. Wave at the defender as they go by.
There is clearly no team in the NCAA that you can say they are the best. Carolina is just as good as anybody and if they stay healthy they should be a major contender for the final four. Can you think who else you can say that about?
