I did this for the Kentucky game. We ended up being a 2nd half team, really. I wanted to see who was contributing. By my rating, bold means above par play, strike through means bad play. Conclusion - Napier had an uncharacteristic game in that he seemed to be pressing too hard and making mistakes caused by trying to do too much. In the end, we squeak by and everything clicks in the Nova game. Live by the Bazz, Die by the Bazz, and we came close to dying this game.
2nd Half Starts – we’re down 5 points. Bembry has 12 already – he’s an 11 ppg scorer on the year.
Daniels backs down for a nice 5’ turnaround – defender not even close to the ball on release.
Giffey with nice steal on Kanacevic (Kan) pass.
Napier blowby on Bembry and great dish to Nolan for the dunk. Great start to half.
Nolan offensive foul on moving screen.
Napier loses track of Galloway and has head turned – pass from Kan for foul on Nolan (bad call, not a foul).
Napier good look at 3 – in and out.
Napier does not fight through screen by Kan, Galloway gets mismatch on Brimah and cans 3. Lead back to 6 for St. Joe’s.
Daniels – poor shot selection – spinning, out of control shot from 9’.
Napier nice D on Bembri, gets away with bump, knocks ball loose and/or Bembri loses it.
Napier with tough pass to Brimah, who struggles to come up with it, then double dribbles. Going to Brimah probably makes no sense at all at this point in the year.
Daniels loses track of Kan, who streaks to the basket, receives pass, and gets fouled by DD.
Daniels and Napier do not put a body on Galloway and keep it there, allowing very soft rebound for Galloway on 2nd free throw miss – lead by St. Joe’s now 7.
Daniels good look at a 3 – in and out. Kan fouls Brimah on rebound (#2, 15:34 to play).
Boatright fantastic blowby and great cross court find to Giffey, who hits the 3. Huge bucket by our two most consistent tournament players.
Giffey bad D on Kan – odd sideways guarding, Kan drives, good help from Brimah, missed layin.
Napier hits open 3 – not a good shot – got jammed in backboard and rim and fell in – CHULA (remember Jai-Alai?).
Giffey very good D on Kan,Brimah loses his guy shading over to help D, and Kan fires a laser to him for lay in plus one.
Napier gets caught in air shoots another difficult pass to Brimah, who loses it.
Giffey doesn’t inbound ball w/in 5 seconds – Daniels open deep. Either a really poor inbounds play or Giffey didn’t execute the outlet to Daniels.
Napier blow-by layin.
Napier tough floater over defender early in clock – poor shot selection.
Napier great find for Giff, who misses open 3. Giff O rebound off Brimah tip.
Napier forces up bad shot in traffic, air ball.
Boatright highlight real no look over shoulder to Brimah for dunk.
Bembry double dribbles – when Giff reaches in to get ball after whistle, Bembry forearms Giff in neck. Giff continues to go for ball as official moves in. Bembry, Randle – don’t like the white boy giving ‘em the what for.
Great team D to force miss with shot clock winding down, Roberts gets O board and put back.
Boatright, HUGE 3. Looking back, Boat probably deserved co-MVP with Bazz. He was solid as a battleship for us every, single, game. Played with very few mistakes.
Napier blowby on Bembry with very tough lay in from steep angle. UConn up 2. Only 3rd freethrow for UConn at this point – 9:14 left to play.
Kromah nice drive and lefty finish.
Napier does not fight over/around pick, allowing Bembry to get to rim and draw foul.
Giffey excellent D on Kan, who forces up crap shot.
Giffey poor D on Kan, going for steal that wasn’t there, results in dunk.
Napier out of control drive, blocked into him out of bounds for turnover.
St. Joes 15 of 19 from the FT line – season average would have them at about 12.
Daniels nice drive and lay in – Huge gap in time since his last input – needed more of him.
Kromah nice assist to Boatright for huge 3.
Napier does not box out Bembry, who gets the O board and putback.
Napier misses nice open look from 3.
Kromah fantastic ragging D on Galloway resulting in airball.
Napier great drive and finish in traffic.
Daniels nice block on Kan.
Daniels huge open 3.
Boatright does not fight around Kan. screen, and there was space – Daniels neither picks up Boatright’s man nor stays with Kan., but floats to center of lane. Boat’s man is unguarded and hits floater from 7 feet.
Napier huge turnover on unforced flubbed dribble.
Daniels playing 1 man zone 7 feet from Kan, allowing easy cross court to Kan – should have been denying like crazy. Napier does not fight over pick. Daniels stays with man switch this time, but loses space awareness and fouls a much shorter shooter taking a tough shot. No jump by Daniels – just sort of leans into him.
Napier with nice drive. BRIMAH with rebound, put back, and free throw. Irony here is that Kan clearly pushes Brimah in back on rebound, but that call is not made, resulted in 3 points and 4th foul on Kan. Hugest play of the tourni, no doubt.
Kromah with more tenacious D on Galloway, indirectly causes a flub, resulting in a tough look for Galloway to finish.
In OT – Daniels really strong drive for the bucket and 5th foul on Kan. Game over.
