Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 3465246, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]Houston scored the first 5 points of the game. [*]We scored the next 16. [*]Whaley[I] "I'm kinda sorta open, so I'm just gonna shoot this 18 foot jumper."[/I] Boom. 16-5. Wow! That was great. The next two times he did that, not so much. [*]Seemed like Houston resisted fouling Vital all game long, until we gave them no choice. He did not shoot a free throw until there were 48 seconds left in the game. Then he went 8 for 8 in winning time. Shades of Bazz in the 2014 Tourney. [*]How do you win a game in which the opposition has 23 more FG attempts than you? Well, it helps that they only [B]made [/B]2 more than us. [*]We were out rebounded by [B]NINE [/B]-- by a dozen on the offensive boards. [*]There were 44 boards available (missed shots) off their rim, compared to 29 at our end. [*]They had more assists than us. More steals, too. They shot 100% from the FT line compared to our 76%. Other than blocked shots and FG% they led every column across the box score. Yet we won. [*]Sid made his return. Other than 4 fouls, his line would have been empty, were it not for one timely, uber athletic and very important block. And the play-by-play guy game Whaley the credit for Sid's only highlight. [*]My favorite Bouk moment[I] (is this a Book Report?) [/I]was when he went coast to coast literally weaving his way through the defense. The antithesis of a fast break. Really demonstrated how his handle has improved. [*]The last few minutes of this game was NOT recommended viewing for old men with a heart condition. Every time they scored (especially a 3) I'd be holding my breath until the inbounds pass went to CV. And as soon as he got fouled, I could breath easy again, because I knew he wouldn't miss. Until they scored again, and I'd be holdng my breath again. In the back of my head, computing how long we can hold on trading two for three. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
