It's semifinal Thursday in the D10 league, and the top 4 teams in both the junior and senior divisions have all advanced through safely after Tuesday's action.
On the senior side, #1 Bishop Mac will host #4 JF Ross, while #2 Lourdes takes to the court against #3 St. James.
Let's start with the BMAC-JFR game, where I expect the Celtics to prevail in that one. The Celts took out the Royals in their two league games by 14 and 26 points respectively, and though I expect something again in the double-digit range, I'll go with the Celtics by 12. Obviously, Bishop Mac mustn't overlook the Royals in advance of a possible "all-AA" matchup with (possibly) Lourdes for the D10 title and "AA" CWOSSA berth.
Lourdes and St. James is the 2-3 match-up and is widely expected to be a very competitive game, especially after the Lions fell in a close 65-62 game last week. I'll still stick with Lourdes here by 6, but the Lions have been playing very well as of late.
As bonus junior picks:
(1) GCVI over (4) Centennial by 9
(2) Bishop Mac over (3) St. James by 5
