Courtside with Joe Morelli Podcast (S2 E10): The CIAC ‘Run To The Sun’ Prediction Show

Staff Reports | March 9, 2020

WELCOME BACK to another exciting episode of Courtside With Joe Morelli, your weekly dose of high school boys basketball talk with the eponymous Joe Morelli, GameTimeCT’s boys basketball aficionado and beat writer, and Sean Patrick Bowley, the GameTimeCT editor kingpin.

No guest this week because, after an exciting week of boys basketball conference championships, it’s time to tip off the CIAC state tournaments and the Run to the Sun. 

2020 CIAC BOYS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE / SCOREBOARD

In this week’s pod, Joe and Sean break down what happened in some of this week’s league tournaments, including Wilbur Cross’ repeat as SCC champions over favored Notre Dame-West Haven, Ridgefield’s third FCIAC title in four years, Kolbe Cathedral’s surprising run to the SWC title, East Catholic’s rise over Northwest Catholic for their fourth CCC title in five years and some talk on Naugatuck’s first NVL title since 1969, among several of the others.

CIAC TOURNAMENT PREVIEWS: 5 PLAYERS | STORYLINES | PREDICTIONS | TOP 10

In the second half of the show, Joe breaks down all five CIAC boys basketball tournaments and picks a final four and winner for each one, going from Division V all the way to Division I. Sean, meanwhile, goes on his annual rant about how the state really doesn’t need five tournaments. 

So stick around and check it all out as we spent the next two weeks gearing up for the CIAC state finals at Mohegan Sun. 

(Quick note that this podcast was recorded on Friday, March 6, before the NCCC final).
