Well here we are, Super Tuesday, Supersectional day, winner makes the Final Four in Peoria. Who will it be? Here we go bracket order: CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY: Whitney Young(Chicago) vs Loyola(Wilmette)- This is the mismatch of the night( I said that last year too and almost got burned). Whitney Young has the #1 High School Player In The Country in Duke signee Jahlil Okafor (6'11" senior) who is the anchor in the middle, but the key is always Georgetown signee Paul White (6'9" senior) and his versatile game along with the other Big 3 player St Louis signee Miles Reynolds(6'3" senior). Loyola will have to use some kind of junk defense and hope their three pointers are on target with Jack Morrissey(6'1" senior), Kevin Kucera(6'1" senior), and James Clark(6'2" senior). They have to also hope that Griffin Boehm (6'4" junior) does not get into foul trouble. It may by close for awhile but I have: PREDICTION: WHITNEY YOUNG PUNCHES TICKET DOWNSTATE. NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY: Stevenson(Lincolnshire) vs Auburn(Rockford)- This should be an exciting game to watch as both teams like to get up and down the floor and shoot a lot of threes as neither team has a lot of size. Superstar Jalen Brunson(6'2" junior), along with his partner in crime Conner Cashaw(6'4" junior) will get help from Matt Johnson (6'0" junior), Michigan State football recruit Matt Morrissey (6'4" senior) and Parker Nichols (6'5" junior). They can hit the three point shot from all spots 1-5 on the floor. Rockford Auburn is not shabby either Laytwan Porter (6'1
" junior), Antoine Pittman (6'2' junior), along with Zavious Hoover all can hit threes. Should be a shootout but I have: PREDICTION: STEVENSON PUNCHES TICKET DOWNSTATE FOR 2ND STRAIGHT YEAR. HINSDALE CENTRAL: Benet(Lisle) vs Glenbard North(Carol Stream)-Benet has Xavier signee Sean O'Mara (6'9" senior) in the middle that will make things hard for Glenbard North Collin Bonnett will be big from the three point line as well as Liam Nelligan. As for Glenbard North they have had great performances from Jeremiah Fleming,Chip Flanagan and Northwestern football signee Justin Jackson (6'2" senior). PREDICTION: BENET PUNCHES TICKET DOWNSTATE. ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY: Marian Catholic(Chicago Heights) vs Edwardsville- The story here all weekend has been Kentucky signee Tyler Ulis's(5'9" senior) turf toe. It will bother him the rest of the tourney, he will have to play through it. He has shooters around him in Army signee Terrone Parham (6'7" senior), John Kohn(6'1" senior), and defensive ace Kijana Crawfors(5'9" senior). Not a lot of size but a gutsy hustling team. Edwardsville has a good point guard Shaun Roundtree (6'2" senior) who will have to limit his turnovers vs the pressure of Marian Catholic. Rematch from last year when Edwardsville just absolutely hammered Marian Catholic. Revenge is a dish best served cold and I think it will be served here. Tyler Ulis will not be denied. PREDICTION: MARIAN CATHOLIC. THERE YOU HAVE IT, SHOULD BE A GREAT DAY AS 4 TEAMS WILL PUNCH THEIR TICKET TO PEORIA!!!!!!! GOD BLESS EVERYONE AND PEACE TO THE CREATURES!!!!!!
