NCC had the same player out that did not dress for the Highland's game. Only one out.

NCC was missing 3 players in this one?

 

Yes they were missing 3, Martin starter, Freppon and Tolle, all contribute valuable minutes.

Wow! Yes they do!

Why were they not on the bench? there was only one injured player on the bench.

2 of them in Alabama for a ODP soccer showcase and the other one in a Volleyball showcase.

This game went back and forth for the whole 2nd half. NCC frustrated SK by controlling the tempo with patient offense and a 3-2 zone. SK turned over NCC about 4 times late and that was the difference.

 

My guess is SK is going to see more zone than anything else the rest of the season. SK's offense seems to come from Meyer on the blocks or Niece drives. According to KHSAA website stats; 23% from beyond the arc.

Agreed. If I'm an SK opponent, I pack in the zone and make sure I block out on the rebounds. So far, this has not been a good 3 point shooting team, although, I have noticed a lot of opportunities passed up.

 

One thing I will say is that court at NCC looks very small to me which plays into slowing down the tempo. I bet when NCC plays in the regionals against very athletic teams, they will not have that advantage because of the larger court.

Missing players certainly impacts a teams chemistry no doubt! As I stated previously, NCC players make plays and their coaches do a tremendous job with their offensive sets to get players open to be successful. However, I'm not sure having the other three players would have helped much on the offensive end when your shooting something like 11 for 13/14 attempts???? from 3 point range. Very impressive shooting performance. I think SK's defense allowed the shots but NCC knocked them down. I'm not sure that's the exact number for 3's but its pretty close. Either way, what a shooting performance! I'm surprised SK was in the game with a team shooting that well, much less squeak out the victory.

It would have helped a little on offense but fresh legs down the stretch would have help with the ball handling, NCC looked a little tired because of the minutes that had to be played by players who could have gotten some rest. Taking nothing away from SK they made plays when they needed to down the stretch.

And the starter is pretty strong defender. The vball player is NCC's tallest player and a pretty good rebounder, right? If you can stay fresh, rebound better and lock down more on defense, you don't have to score as much...right? And NCC is not very deep as it is. So missing 3 players and having one hurt on the bench definitely would have an impact on any team, but especially a team with varsity depth issues. Sounds like the NCC girls that were left played a whale of a game.

Believe it or not they do get tired especially at the pace they play, each sport is different, they don't train the same is basketball as they do in basketball. Are you saying if a pitcher plays soccer he shouldn't get tired?

 

RCC9 you are correct in your assesment, having rest during a game obvioulsy helps you mentally and physically.

There's your problem right there... the soccer team is infiltrating the basketball team to stay in shape for the next soccer season!

Missing 3 players was the problem, again not taking anything away from SK.
