We played pretty well at the opening. There was good ball movement. We played tough defense and took a 22-13 lead. Then the bottom fell out. I think RM went on a 19-2 run. We seemed to abandon the 3 pt shot during that stretch and instead did a lot of driving to the basket but didn’t seem to know what to do when we got in the paint. There were a lot of TOs (I think we had more TOs than assists) and a lot of ill advised shots plus we missed our share of peeps. Ross made a 3 at the end of the 1st half which brought it back to 32-27. We stepped up the pressure in the 2nd half and got Tim more involved. I think he had 9 of his 10 boards in the 2nd half. Notable Price had 7 assists….Ross only 1. He also had a really nice steal that put the game away at the end.
1.) RM played a match up zone for at least part of the game which really through our offense off. Remember Holy Cross?
2.)The refs allowed a lot of contact. Maybe a good thing because we can’t afford to have TK in foul trouble.
3.) My pet peeve for this game at least is our propensity to give up a wide open 3 in order to take a contested 2 4 to 5 ft closer.
I hope that helps a little.
