Admittance to the Class 3A state finals should come with a neck brace.

The pace Saturday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, especially if South Bend St. Joseph has its way, could be furious.

“They are going to try to press us and speed us up,” Crispus Attucks coach Chris Hawkins said.

Not that sixth-ranked Crispus Attucks (22-6) despises a fast pace. But second-ranked South Bend St. Joseph (26-3) takes it to another level, leading the state at 77.1 points per game. Last week in the semistate, the Huskies turned heads with a 115-81 victory over Maconaquah in the semistate semifinal.
