Prep Hoops Finale 16U predictions

The Prep Hoops 16U Finale is taking place in Edmond, Oklahoma this weekend and the field has some pretty good teams in Team Griffin and Team Buddy Buckets.  I think those two teams should end up in the final but the way the brackets are set up, they will play a semi-final game and Team Cougars and Team Harden would be my other semi-finalists.  That's unfortunate for either Griffin or Buddy Buckets because that semi-final is the real final for me.  Whomever wins that game should win the final by 8 or 10 points.

That's my prediction for the Prep Hoop finale.  Of course, these are 16 year olds and there are always surprises.  If you are in Oklahoma City this weekend, stop in a watch some excellent AAU basketball.

Here are my pre-tournament ratings....
