Final

Is it me or did NCC only play 6 kids in the 2nd half with the 6th coming in with a minute left? Have they lost confidence in their bench? Not a way to get ready for tournament time.

All teams shorten the bench as tourney time approaches.

Pretty impressed with Holmes fight, especially without Avery. They play a lot of guys and I like that Greene got in there tonight. Officiating seemed to get a little one sided in the second half. Typically you'll get some fouls when you drive into a big man down low (McDonald) and initiate contact but not tonight. Also I must say the decision not too foul the last 40 seconds or so of the game really baffles me. Not sure I've ever seen that when your still within striking distance. Especially when you have a team that can create turnovers and a player that can go off in seconds like Beetle.

Why did Avery not play?

Holmes loses by 6 with Avery not playing and Bolden spending most of the day sick and throwing up. Doubt many would have predicted this to be that close given those circumstances.

 

Agree the fouls got lopsided 2nd half. 7-2 at one point in the 4th qtr and Holmes was attacking the rim hard.

Congrats to Drew McDonald for setting the career rebounding record at NCC.

Yup. Dixie made a statement tonight and Avery makes a difference for Holmes.

 

Boone with the win over Holmes earlier this week.

 

5 teams capable of winning region, IMO

Congrats to Drew McDonald for setting the career rebounding record at NCC.

 

Now has, I believe, 954 for his career.

Breds had way TOO MANY turnovers tonight (16):no:, definitely need to cut this down....many were just careless, especially the last one that gave us the final margin.:facepalm:

It's not a foul on the defense when the offense creates the contact. Very good no calls.

Not necessarily true. It doesn't matter who initiates it. If the offensive player initiates and, say, the defensive player's hands are not straight up it's a foul.
