Refs were bad but bad for both sides.

 

Lipscomp had 14 of NCC's first 18 points and then didn't score after.

 

NCC led by 6 at half.

 

The big 6'8 guy for Dixie is SOFT! He backed down from kids much smaller than him all night. I think he might have had 6 points. If someone puts a butt on him he can be neutralized with ease.

 

I have given Grant Pangallo some flack recently but he has played very well the past 3 games. He didn't score this game (0-5) but I think he had 10 assists and only 1 TO. Solid game for a small PG.

 

NCC played bad, and Dixie did not impress but did enough to win.

 

 

I have said this for a couple of years. How can you be 6'8", 250 lbs+, and not dominate a game inside? I know this sounds like I'm picking on this young man but did he work on his game any over the summer and fall?

Mace seems like a very mild mannered young man. A gentle giant if you will. He works very hard on the inside, but might not have a killer instinct. Don't know what it would take to find his mean streak, but if there's anything that ticks him off it would be great if he could vent that aggression on the hardwood. If you could get the dude real mad I bet his game would turn way up and the 9th Region would have quite a monster to contend with. "Get mad Luke and show'em what you've got! "Get real mad and come March the 9th Region might be crowning you and the Red Colonels king".:thumb: The 9th is pretty wide open and if he can turn his game up it could have all the predictors whistling Dixie.

IMO, it comes down to coaching. The coaches should've been working on this for the past 3 years, and they haven't. Dixie's coaches don't know how to work with the big men. With Roddy on the staff, hopefully he can work with them as he knows how to play a physical inside game.
