The Tuesday Night Elite

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We run through our Tuesday night predictions and honor some top Tuesday night performers!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tuesday Night Predictions.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hopkins &gt; BSM</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>CORRECT</strong>. Fresh Coast Hoops was at the game and has a video posted on you tube already. Max spoke about Hopkins turning every BSM bad shot and turnover into a transition score rapidly throughout the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Park Center &gt; Edina</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>CORRECT</strong>. And this was a three score game at the half but the Pirates exploded in the second half for a 41-18 edge. Park Center held Edina to zero players in double figure scoring while [player_tooltip player_id='1452542' first='Ari' last='Gooch'] had 20 and [player_tooltip player_id='1172835' first='Casmir' last='Chavis'] scored 16.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DeLaSalle &amp; Waconia</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>THEY BOTH WON</strong>. Somehow this game was changed and Waconia won at Delano in a thriller while DeLaSalle beat Bloomington Kennedy. [player_tooltip player_id='1969343' first='Gavin' last='Olson'] had an incredible 41 point outing including a buzzer beater to lift the Cats over Delano. Waconia got down big but the leaders of the team dug in on the court and earned the win. Meanwhile, downtown Minneapolis, [player_tooltip player_id='2126102' first='Jaeden' last='Udean'] scored 18 and junior [player_tooltip player_id='2103394' first='Dorian' last='Pruitt'] had 19 in the Islanders win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Cloud Tech &gt; Esko</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>WRONG</strong>. Although to be fair I really didn't know what I was predicting as I had not seen Esko. Great game by Tech that we covered in much further detail here.... <a href="https://prephoops.com/2024/01/st-cloud-tech-87-esko-72-five-things-to-know/">https://prephoops.com/2024/01/st-cloud-tech-87-esko-72-five-things-to-know/</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Albany &gt; Osakis</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>CORRECT.</strong> Albany controlled this game more than I expected they would by forcing 15 turnovers. Zeke Austin dominated scoring 26 and when I think back to watching Osakis, it's pretty clear that Austin was going to have a serious edge in this game (I didn't think of that). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>More Tuesday Standouts</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284089' first='Blake' last='Femrite'] led his Spectrum team past Eagle Ridge with a 31 point win! He scored 39 points surpassing 1,000 points for his career and did it in style with a two hand throw down!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1617853' first='Nathan' last='Lindesmith'] of Mayer Lutheran hit eight threes plus he made all six of his free throws scoring 42 points leading his team past Le Sueur-Henderson. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1288720' first='Patrick' last='Rowe'] scored 44 points leading Chisago Lakes past Princeton by 31.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Randy McClendon of Columbia Heights went for 30+ points again in a win over BC. He had 30 against AHA recently and 29 against Kennedy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1451145' first='Ethan' last='Carter'] went for 30 leading St. Paul Academy past Minnehaha Academy 86-66. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
