Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 4891804, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]Castle opens with a three, then puts up two bad shots, blocks a shot, turns the ball over and misses a 1 foot layup. [*]Great sequence -- full bore D took them to the end of the shot clock, then a quick trip down the floor for Diarra to set the table for a streaking Samson. Almost looked like it couldn't possibly work, as Samson was already flying past the backboard when he got the ball. [*]Other than that play, we seem to be taking awfully long to get someone open for a shot. [*]What's going on with AK's shot? He looks reluctant to shoot it, and when he does, it's not really close. [*]At half time, the TNewt-Triple Double watch is 8 points, 8 boards, and 3 assists. The shooting percentage line is 39,33,75 to 30,10,100. We have only 6 dimes, but Nova has only 3, we have 24 boards to Nova's 13, and 7 blocks to Nova's 2. Nova has 3 steals though, and we don't have a single one. We only have two points from our bench, but Nova has none. Clingan's 1st half foul count is at zero. Now for the 2nd half... [*]Castle lost contact with Bamba and then fouled him trying to recover. [*]This is not going well. Especially for AK. On consecutive possessions five minutes or so into the 2nd half, he turned it over leading to a breakaway dunk, then badly missed a three. Our twelve point lead down to 5. [*]A minute later, a Diarra steal and lay in brings the lead back to nine. [*]And right back to 5 after yet another awful missed 3 by AK. [*]Spencer to the rescue again. Back to 8. [*]The refs have completely changed the way they are calling the game in the 2nd half. [*]Spencer flat out taking over the game in the 2nd half. Man, we got the steal of the Portal this season. [*]Diarra gave us a hell of a boost in 3 minutes mid second half. [*]The final shooting percentages... 43,31,91 to 33,12,69. Rebounding edge, 46 to 32. Dimes, 14 to 6. [*]And, like I said a week or two back, Newton got his 4th triple double as a Husky. Heck, he had 16 of our 46 boards on his way to that milestone tonight! [*]I thought tonight was one of the better games Castle has played, despite shooting 3 for 9. He had 6 boards, a dime and two blocks, went 6 for 6 from the FT line, and played outstanding D. [*]Has anyone else noticed that Clingan is 12 for 14 from the line over his last 4 games? If that continues, it's going to change the way teams Defend him come tourney time. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
