This game kind of mirrored the IU/ Iowa game. South scored real quick and North kind of shut down, never recovered. Second half, they played even but the game essentially was over. Not sure why you don’t think Lonzano is impressive? He has an offer from Indiana State in the fold.
Your assessment of Bloomington South has some merit, but I think it’s the coaches who are responsible for the mental approach to the game. I’m not going to assume Gabe Johnson is going to be a great coach.
Why I picked North to win this one? Umm….. well 2 years ago at South I think north won , then last year Bloomington South was given a gift and got the game into overtime ,after they were down 20 points-and won on an error by the north team. Not an expert here ,and it didn’t play into why I pick north,but I think all the pickems had North a slight favorite. But good call, you had something to base your pick on but In wasn’t recent history.
