What a great night of section finals last night, let's take a look at how I did on my predictions.
Section 2AAAA: Kennedy pulls the major upset on Shakopee 74-62 via 25 from Alfred Jaryan. Kennedy much improved late in the season. The Czar gets the double bagel here as I had Eden Prairie in my original prediction and Shakopee in the my finals preview.
Section 3AAAA: I got Burnsville right and it was a terrific game as the Blaze won by 4, 63-59. Tarell Clark gets it done with 22.
Section 4AAAA: Luck falls upon the Czar again as Sibley wins a terrific game vs CDH holding off a late rally. Mike Bruesewitz with 19, 11 in the 2nd half to lead Sibley to the 60-57 win.
Section 5AAAA: Cooper bests Osseo 60-59. Carrington Tankson large for Osseo but Rodney Williams swats away his last effort and Cooper moves on. Quincy Bethea again big for the Hawks. Double bagel again for the Czar as I had Mounds View and Osseo. Rick Majerus in the house for this one. Interesting. Did anybody warn them to have more food?
Section 6AAAA: Wow, game of the year. As I heard on TV today, many games like this don't live up to the hype, this one did and more. CJ Erickson comes up huge with a late block and then makes the game winning jumper.
Section 7AAAA: I covered this one here, but I go double-bagel again as I had Blaine and Forest Lake.
The Czar's AAAA predictions: 3-3 original and revised. In a cruel twist of fate, I went 0-3 in 2nd chance picks of the teams I got wrong the 1st time around.
Overall results of my picks in AAAA: 27-11
Section 3AAA: Henry moves on 85-75 over Spring Lake Park as their guards are too much.
Section 4AAA: Como Park pulls the upset on Johnson winning 72-61. Double-bagel here for me.
Section 6AAA: BSM by 10 on Holy Angels, no surprise here.
The Czar's AAA predictions: 2-1
Overall results of my picks in AAA: 14-7
Section 4AA: I covered this one here. I get SB right on both, but so much for my 2nd chance prediction that it would be close.
The Czar's AA predictions (semis and final): 2-1
Overall results of my picks in AA: 12-3
Section 4A: I covered this one here. I got CHOF wrong the 1st time, but I got MTS right on the 2nd chance.
The Czar's AA predictions (semis and final): 1-2
Overall results of my picks in A: 12-4
FINAL RESULTS: 69-25 overall, 6-5 (7-4 in final previews, 8-4 if you count the STMA bonus selection) in the section finals.
