No doubt both teams played hard but 34 to 33 in O T? I'd rather stay home and watch Rachel Maddow. Wait a minute, let me rethink that.

I believe Beechwood led 22-11 at one point. (Statman can correct me if I am wrong). The Tigers played a zone the entire game with the exception of 1 play out of a timeout last in 4th. Also, BW had the lead the whole game and was able to run 45 sec to a minute or more off the clock every possession once the got out to that lead.

 

Holy Cross played right into the hands of BW all night by settling for 22-25 ft 3s all night. Holy Cross shoots 4 for 24 from 3 and didn't attack the zone and rim most of the game.

 

At the end of the day it doesn't matter, a win is a win. Very happy for Will Volpenhein. Had struggled from the field all night long but the senior steps up with a huge 3 to win it.

 

Good luck to the Beechwood seniors.

Very well said. I have no idea why you wouldn't attack that zone, especially when your shooting is ice cold! No need to go on about anything else, same as before.

Thanks to the Statman for providing stats for the entire 35th district tournament.

2 free throws. Hard to get fouled when your passing the ball around 5 ft outside the perimeter and don't go to the rim.

Why so many 3 point shots?? 24 is huge and if you are not making them why didn't they go inside?

Agree 100% with #99. No complaints about the free throws from me. Refs weren't the issue.

 

Coach Goetz did exactly what he wanted to do which is get out to a lead and be able to stay in a zone, let the Indians jack up threes and keep the score low. It almost worked. It's a good thing that Ty Houston & Derrick Barnes played really good half court defense in the 2nd half and overtime on Toebbe and Alcorn. That won the game for Holy Cross IMO until Volpenhein's 3 to win it.

This had to be a miserable game to watch haha

Rash should have gone for 2 and the win. Kicking the XP is always a crapshoot in windy conditions.

You should ask coach Schrand that question. Nobody but him can be blamed for that.

It was.

The guy takes a school to back to back Regional tournaments for the first time since 93-94 and still gets hammered...
