A rough game physically and Dixie shot poorly from the field and Ryle shot poorly from the stripe. It was 16-2 Ryle after one quarter and Dixie got their first lead of the game with a 3 to begin the overtime. Groneman, I think, made a great leaner from trey-ville to tie the game at 41 to send it into OT. It was one of those crazy games where both teams played not up to potential and found ways to keep the game close.

Are you saying it was 41-41 after 4 then Ryle scored 30 pts in 2 5 minute OTs?

Now that would be impressive.

Yes, that is correct.

 

Box score:

Ryle 16 9 .9 ..7 .11 19 -71

Dixie 2 15 10 14 11 11 -63

Dixie started the game missing a few shots, fell behind 8-0, coach became disgusted and pulled the starters (at least the 3rd time this year), and the hole quickly got deeper. The Colonels spent the rest of the game clawing to climb out.

 

5 Colonels fouled out. At least 1 Raider fouled out.

Most of Dixie's starters fouled out in the OT's and thus the scoring barrage by Ryle, especially in the 2nd OT.

Yes, that is correct.

So they scored 75% of their 4 qtr output in 10 minutes? Wow.

8 minutes (4 per overtime )

 

The Raiders got to shoot a lot of free throws in OT, and once they got a lead early in the 2nd overtime, Dixie had to gamble with a press and gave up some long-pass layups.

Also, it was basically Ryle's starters vs. Dixie's subs during a lot of the 2nd OT and Dixie ended up going for steals and having to foul and then launching lots of quick threes from NBA range. It was not a game for basketball purists.

Dixie is really missing Josh Keener, he brings a toughness to the team that is sorely missed, not to mention since they start five guards when one goes down, depth becomes an issue.
