Lets pick 1 team prior to the brackets?

One the brackets come out, lets pick a team from each area that could sneak in? B team NOT in the current top 20

Lomega. 4 losses to quality teams. Most losses early. Basketball school.

Lomega is my pre-playoff bracket Darkhorse

They barely beat ARNETT, a team that would proceed to get destroyed by Leedey and Goodwell. If Lomega can barely handle Arnett, how are they going to survive against a top 10 team.

DARKHORSE: a candidate or competitor about whom little is known but who unexpectedly wins or succeeds.

I was attempting to select a team outside the top 20. They beat Arnett by 14 or 15 points and they did win.

jared do you have a team that is currently outside of the top 20 that you think could make a run at a state tournament birth? or more?

Similar to TUSHKA (Class A) last year who was 12-7 when the last rankings came out and NOT ranked in the top 20. Very "Unicornish" to pull off a gold ball, but they did. the ULTIMATE DARKHORSE: TUSHKA last year. That is what I was looking for in this thread. someone that nobody necessarily sees even going to Area, much less State that may have the talent to sneak in.

I was ignorant and didn’t fully scope out Lomega, after looking at their record and their losses, I can jump on the Lomega boat with you. But Lomega’s road to State will probably be harder than most.

I think the road to state in Class A will be a gauntlet for all teams! It’s Gonna be a grind!
