What if the entire #ctbb state tournament was one bracket? 11 conference tournament champions get automatic bids, the rest are at-large selections. No divisions, just pure March Madness! Here’s my bracket. I am sure everyone will agree 😉.

@CTBBHoops I’m sure will be a great game but no way Windsor should be D2 with most of their team back. Should have played D1

#ctbb D2 Bunnell vs Windsor: Public School stand up Part 2! This is where we thought Windsor would be all year. Once they were moved down to D2, with most of their roster coming back, they were the clear favorites. D2 was thrilling all year. The combination of teams that moved down from D1, plus all the other traditional D2 teams, made this the most competitive division. The winner will be truly deserving, and it is fitting that two programs with championship pedigree will be netting for the title. Bunnell is playing the best basketball of the season, beating really strong opponents to get to this spot. Windsor entered the tournament 19-1 in the regular season with their lone loss to East Catholic. Then, the other East, Hartford, took them down in the CCC finals. They weee tested vs New Canaan as well. Windsor still comes in the favorite in this matchup, but they are certainly gettable. This game will be another treat for us to watch, and there really is not an outcome that would suprise me. Two championship level programs competing on the biggest stage. Are you not entertained!?!?

#ctbb D1 Staples vs West Haven: Public schools stand up! The quarterfinals on shows exactly what a D1 tournament could and should look like. This will be a fantastic battle between two teams who deserve to be there. As a fan of the game, and someone who lost to Catholic Schools A LOT (before we got them a couple times 😉) it was incredible to see West Haven go in and take down the big dog. A team that has beaten them three times before this season. Truly Inspiring stuff from those young men, and a game they will never forget. Meanwhile, Staples is a team who just goes in and does their job every single night. It isn’t some special secret sauce. They just play hard and unselfish consistently. They never beat themselves. This has all the makings of a CLASSIC title game. Two special teams. Two great programs. Only fitting this is the game that sends the 25-26 campaign into the off season.

All eyes on #ctbb D1 tonight. Public School Semi’s: 🏀 Staples vs New London – Staples has been one of the most consistent teams all year. New London’s loves to get up and down. Staples will control the pace tonight and advance to the semi’s. 🏀 West Haven vs Ridgefield – West Haven brings the physicality and explosiveness. Ridgefield has the system and patience to make things interesting. I expect a close game with West Haven pulling away late. Catholic School Semi’s: 🏀 NWC vs ND Prep – NWC has quietly put together another strong season without the D1 talents of the past. That will be the difference tonight. I’ll take Charlot and Prep. 🏀 NDWH vs East Catholic – Probably the headliner. Two of the best programs in the state with serious firepower. East will battle for a while but ultimately the size, speed, and skill of NDWH will be too much. Have fun out there folks!

Three #ctbb games to watch tonight: 1. Woodland vs Griswold. Favorite vs Landmine. These have been two of my favorites teams all year. The two high schools have a combined enrollment of about 1200 students. Old school, small town, battle royale tonight. I’ll take the home team! 2. Trumbull vs Bunnell. This has all the makings of a classic. Trumbull is coming in off an FCIAC schedule where they were one of the last unbeaten teams in the state. Bunnell is coming in with championship pedigree. I expect this to be a BATTLE. Slight lean to Trumbull tonight, but I’m mostly just excited to watch these two teams go at it. 3. Death, taxes, and Wenzel. Very few teams in the state are as tough and gritty as Newington. I expect this game to be high octane. Both teams are at their best playing with pace and creating turnovers. Things seems to slow down a bit in the state tournament. Who can control the tempo, execute in the half court, and shell it up on defense? I’m a bit bias in this one. However, East Hartford seems like a team of destiny this season. We lean towards East Hartford at home.

In the 21-22 season in the CCC alone there was Clingan, Curtis, Jemsion, Diakiti, Fox, Reilly, Jones, Fowler, Nimani, Anderson, Wilborn, Betsey, and Tibby all playing D1 ball right now (and Big Donny in the NBA obviously). That is not even mentioning a ton of other guys who are playing collegiately at different levels right now. @SplashProd2 can probably help if I am missing anyone. Currently in the CCC, there is nowhere near that talent level. This is not a shot at anyone, like I said last night. Just a clear lack of top end talent like there was just five years ago.

@CS_Pxp @CTBBHoops You’ve had a few schools close since then but I think the talent pool for CT hoops has been great. I watch a lot of #ctbb and I don’t see that much of a dip. I’d be interested in hearing what dip is being referred to here

It would be quite the deep dive on how/why 🏀 has changed. Can argue good-bad-indifferent. That being said, as you said @CTBBHoops you get to march and it gets wacky. Celebrations, final buzzer beaters. Natural pure joy. #ctbb #ctgb
@CTBBHoops@CTBBHoops

Obviously, if you look at the talent from even five years ago #ctbb isn’t the same as it was. But, one thing that’s clear, is how much all of this matters to the school, the town, and the community despite that. It’s so important to appreciate it as you are going through it. You are literally in the good ‘ol days on nights like this. Incredible stuff everywhere tonight! Lifelong memories being made right now, regardless of how much the outcome might sting. Basketball is the best.
