Dawg81 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 The Dawgs turned it up a notch tonite, maybe even a notch and a half. Watch out!!! :taz: Here comes tournament time and the Bulldogs.
Dawg81 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Based on the stats looks like Pittman's wrist is ok. Still wrapped up pretty good. One was a monster right hand slam, second was a 2 hand slam. But not real hard.
16thBBall Fan Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I look forward to watching them at the state tourn.
StraightShooter Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Congrats to the Dogs. Sounds like it was not close, unlike the first time. No surprise here.
oral32 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I kind of glad the Dawgs lost to Boone. Maybe it's put a chip back on their shoulder to show everybody just how good they are. I like them in the underdog role just like the Scott Co. game where nobody expected them to win much less dominate the game. Go Dawgs!
Dawg81 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Tonite the Bulldogs played with the fire and the intensity was incredible. I'm telling the state right now, it's crunch time and I beleive they will make it to the state. IMO :taz:
Dawg81 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I didn't have a stat on the rebounds. It could have been 2 to 1 ratio. The Dawgs were flying high!!!:scared:
bigmarc78 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Holmes was up by 30 at one point in the forth quarter. Conner's chances to pull and upset tonight ended at the jump ball, it was never close. Pittman didn't even start (Sr. Night, Housely got the start) he had 12 at halftime and may have played a total of 6 minutes at that point. He was a man amongst boys tonight and completely dominated the entire time he was on the floor. This was the most complete performance Holmes had had since Scott Co. Hopefully they can match this intensity the rest of the season, if so they will be very tough to beat.

Very nice to see Big Marc in the house tonite :eyeonyou: you are right though, Dawgs will be hard to beat!!!
Eta Rho Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 First quarter Holmes jumped all over Conner early with an 8-2 run in the games' first two minutes after both Rico and DJ hit back to back 3's. Conner would then go on a 5-0 run to close within 1 at 8-7 but a lay up by Rico gave Holmes a 10-7 lead. Conner responded with a 3 to tie the game but this would be the only tie of the game. Holmes would break the tie with an 11-1 run keyed by 4 straight points from Housely. JJ then knocked down a jumper, followed by a Pittman 3, and jumper by Rico to give Holmes a 21-11 lead. Conner hit a 3 with time running down and Holmes would lead 21-14 after one. Second quarter Pittman started off the scoring with a bucket but Conner went on a 5-0 run to close the gap to 23-19. I believe 12 of Conner's first 19 points were from 3 pointers. Holmes countered with a 5-0 run themselves to put Holmes up 28-19 with 6:13 left til the half which forced Conner to call a timeout. Both teams traded baskets and then Pittman threw it down hard one handed to give Holmes a 33-21 lead. Holmes then built a 42-26 lead behind buckets by JJ, Pittman , Rico and DJ. Conner hit two free throws to close within 14 at 42-28 but Holmes scored the last 5 points of the half to give them a 47-28 lead at the half. Third quarter the game was back and forth the first few minutes but with the score 56-36, Holmes would close the quarter out on a 7-0 run behind 4 straight points from Pittman, including a 2 hand dunk, and a nice drive and lay up by Arnold to give Holmes a 63-36 lead heading in to the 4th. Fourth quarter Riley started things off with an "and one" to give the Dogs a 66-36 lead. Conner answered with a 5-0 run but two free throws by Pittman with 548 left in the game put Holmes up 27, 68-41. Conner got a bucket at the other end and then on their next possession they missed a shot, Housely grabbed the rebound and raced the length of the court and threw it down with two hands. Conner responded with a 3 to cut the Holmes lead to 70-46 which would key a 7-0 run to cut the lead to 20 with Pittman and both Johnson brothers on the bench, but James Rice got a bucket to put Holmes up 72-50 and give you the final. For Conner they shot the ball very well from outside during the first half. Second half they cooled down a little but continued to knock down 3 after 3 to keep Holmes from making things worse than they already were. C. Lang had a pretty decent game as did Hodges off the bench but Avery was pretty much shut down. He was very frustrated with both Rico and Pittman's defense. I'd say he probably finished with MAYBE 10 points but that came on a lot of shots. At one point he took 3 or 4 consecutive shots for Conner. For Holmes, this was the offensive explosion people have waited to see. The game and score probably could have been a lot worse but Henley subbed freely throughout using both Mayfield and Slusher several minutes at a time, leaving them on the floor with usually 3 starters or 2 starters and Arnold. Pretty balanced scoring and Pittman looked really good tonight, pretty much scoring at will, along with Rico. All in all a solid performance from every player tonight. They played great team ball. I'll have video from the game later.

They have been flat and complacant, not tonight. They played 110% from tip to finish. Rico scored when he wanted, the game ran through Eli when he was in and that opened up outside opprotunities for Dom, JJ, and Rico like it is supposed to. Riley didn't even have to shot tonight.
