- Both teams scoring at will early.
- Double digit lead at 10:48 in the first half.
- Looks like Spencer has his whole trick bag working. Three, D and finding openings at the rim for unguarded layins.
- And suddenly, our shooting has vanished. Still stuck at 27 while SD creeps back into it. And no sooner than I typed that, and Newton drives through what looked like a bunch of statues for the lay up.
- Should we be concerned about Clingan's 2nd foul with a minute to go in the 1st half? Nah. That was the old Clingan. He's learned his lesson and minimized swinging down on block attempts. Ended the night with 3.
- 9 point lead at the half. Shooting percentage evened out some when we went cold for 4 or 5 minutes. At the half it's 40,36,83% to 39,23,67%. Uncharacteristically, we only have 9 assists on 15 buckets. We're rebounding well (28 to 16) and have 12 offensive rebounds to SD's 11 defensive boards
- According to the announcer, LeDee is all that and more, but at the half, Spencer's got him in scoring (16-15) & steals (2-1), 4 to 3 on boards and they are tied in dimes at 3 each.
- Back into double digits early in the 2nd half.
- Couple questionable calls, but overall the refs haven't tried to make themselves as important as the game.
- Lead goes over 20 at 6:39.
- And it's a 30 point win.
- 17 assists on 30 field goals is a low percentage (56.6%) for us. But it's way better than SD's 42.8% (9 dimes on 21 FG)
- Shooting percentages for the game ended up 46,39,75% to 36,23,50%.
- Castle played great the whole game, but was flat out dominant in the 2nd half. As far as I'm concerned he was the player of the game.
