Good win for the Knights, and sounds like a good showing for HC.

[Baseball Nut 24]

Not a good shooting night for the Indians combined with too many turnovers.

Great to see HC play hard till the end and keep it close when things didn't go their way most of the night.

 

Luke Johnson had 26 points for LC, including 10/10 fts. The Knights were 17-26 from the FT line. Holy Cross 5-9. That was the difference in the game.

 

Good luck to both teams the rest of the tourney.

Wasn't overall a bad game for hc, (wasn't great either) but was a very bad first quarter. Things got better after the first but still to many turnovers.

Watching the game now. HC hits a 3 on the first possession but doesn't score again until 1 minute left in the quarter.

 

I just finished the first quarter. Waiting on my guy Gary Ball to drop a Turkey Jones reference on me.

And as I type it they come back and Gary drops a Turkey Jones reference.

I'm not surprised by the lack of FT attempts for HC. Do you have the stats for their 3 point shooting?

[Clyde]

Tanner Johnson is a nice PG for LC. Nice passer. Solid shooter.

Clyde, I do not have he official game stats. I was just pointing out that the free throws were the difference in the game. I didn't mean the officiating was bad or anything like that. Holy Cross did shoot jump shots and I know that leads to not getting on the free throw line.

 

Holy Cross hadn't shot it that poorly all year and still hung in there till the end and kept it close. They will need to have their "A" game today against Henry Clay.

[Baseball Nut 24]

Great game for Holy Cross to play in and also today against Henry Clay. It will only make them better when they get back into the 9th region.

I watched the game in spots just now and I saw a ton of silly turnovers by HC. Curious how many they had in the game.

I didn't take it any way other than the way you intended.

[Baseball Nut 24]

Good experience for Holy Cross to play in this tournament. I really do think it will help them down the road this year and into post season. Great exposure for our kids.

 

Q - you are correct on the silly turnovers. Normally a pretty good ball handling team, the Indians didn't take care of the ball at all last night. Couple that with the poor shooting night and you get a L.

[Clyde]

Has any team tried to use "fully deny" on Bezold?
