Scott 54 Cov. Holy Cross 50 (OT)

Eric Sullivan has improved alot and could be the x-factor for this Indians squad.

Sounds like it was a pretty good game. Good win for the Eagles. I would have expected them to win in regulation by a little more, but hats off to HC. They are slowly but surely proving themselves early.

Is Scott at full strength?

Is Scott at full strength?

 

I don't think Scott was missing anyone last night. I know Giwa and Egan did not start for HC last night.

 

I don't think Scott played well in the game but they made big plays and big shots to stay in the game. In the end Scott just made 1-2 more plays than HC.

 

This is a rivalry type game as the kids live in the same neighborhoods, eat at the same restaurants and basically grow up together. The games are usually close but not always well played because they are so familiar with each other.

Did the shooter have the ball?

 

Yes, the ball was live.

[The Observer]

Wow, sounds like an exciting ending. Just looking at the score, I'm guessing both teams strength is at the defensive end of the floor. Holy Cross appears to be better than most thought at the beginning of the season. Giwa is the real deal and his supporting cast are finding their roles. Congrats to Scott on the hard earned victory.

Sounds like a great game. I did have HC winning in a close one and sounds like it almost happened.

 

Congrats to the Eagles.

 

I have heard that Scott's EJ Murray has really improved this year and looks impressive.

The fould called on Eastin at the end of regulation was questionable..

The no call on Giwa at the other end was even more questionable. Scott was trying to foul.

Yeah ref really choked at the end.

[the Hulk]

Yeah ref really choked at the end.

 

Refs don't ever choke.

Refs don't ever choke.

 

...in a perfect world.

Not sure why Giwa sat the first four mintues of the game, but it may have cost the Indians in last nights contest. But I do have to admire a coach who has such convictions and sticks to his principles. Now for the players of Scott. As an observer this is what I can recount from the game. EJ: good job the entire game. Nick: lots of turnovers, his strength is cutting to the rim, not dribbling. Kellen: too many turnovers. I'm not sure he sees the floor as well as some think. He tries to feed the ball down low in heavy traffic when there is an open man on the wing. Possibly inexperience rearing it's ugly head. Daniel: good job, however he needs to get stronger, the ball was stripped out of his hands too often and too easily. Nikola: Did not play to his preseaon status of a top 10th region player. He needs to turn and shoot when in the paint, not put the ball on the floor. He was the biggest man on the floor and should have dominated down low. Keylo, Stefan and Andrew: nice job off the bench. They needed you in for a few more minutes, the starters once again got tired at the end.

If Scott takes care of the ball, makes free throws, and is physical they win this game by 10+. They are lacking in physicalness right now and are struggling on the boards. Giwa is a good player but Scott i thought handled him well and played good on him. If they handle the zone HC ran they would of been fine but it threw them out of their rythem. Kola and O'Conner need to get bigger down low and show a presence on the boards. But overall a good win for the Eagles.

Maybe, but the same case could be made for Holy Cross as well with turnovers early and BAD free throw shooting late.
