I already previewed Duke earlier, so time to jump into the game...

We steal the ball early and Singleton with a breakaway is fouled. With no pressure, he makes both FT's.

4 minutes into the game, Pardon gets a 2nd foul on Vanttaja. We are down 11-8.

A minute later they get a 2nd foul on Sockwell.

A minute later, Chancler gets his 2nd foul. Down 16-12.


Extremely high tempo the first 8 minutes. We are down 20-14 as we bring in the 2nd unit.

Abram was a huge disappointment, missing several easy shots and a layup, however, Sutton was incredible. He had 9 points in 4 1/2 minutes and we are up 26-25 with 7:30 to go in the game as my starters return.

Singleton gets a 2nd foul on Harris with 7:05 to go. Again, he makes both FT's.

Sockwell starts a 8-0 run with a breakaway slam dunk. He then hits 2 shots from about the FT. After they end the run, he passes out a double team to Pardon in the corner who drills a 3. We are up 42-33 with 3:42 to go.


A great finish to the half. Everyone is scoring well except for Peterson who is getting double teamed consistently. We are up 48-36.


Singleton is the player of the half with 12 points and 3 assists.


4 minutes into the half, Chancler picks up his 3rd foul. However, we are running them out of the building. When we can't fast break, we are finding Peterson for a quick easy basket as they are no longer doubling him. We are up 64-40. This run has been mainly due to us stealing it from their PG or him throwing it away - allowing a ton of easy fast break baskets.

13 minutes to go, Chancler picks up his 4th foui. We are up 70-46.


9:39 to go, we are up 86-52. I pull my starters.


With 5 minutes to go, Baldwin and Yeager get into the game. We are up 89-59.


We win the game 93-66!


Singleton was the player of the game with 19 points, 4 assists, 2 boards, and 2 steals. He shot 6 of 9, 3 of 5, and 4 of 4.

Great games for all of my starting 5:

Chancler only with 5 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals. However, he shot 2 of 4 and he held their top guard to 7 points on 2 of 10 shooting.

Pardon with 19 points, 3 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals, and a block. He shot 6 of 8, 2 of 2, and 5 of 12 (I wish he was better from the line.) He held Vanttaja to 3 points and 3 assists. He also kept Vanttaja in foul trouble through most of the game.

Sockwell with 14 points, 5 boards, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks. He shot 6 of 8, 0 of 0, and 2 of 4.

Peterson with 17 points, 9 boards, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. He shot 8 of 17, 0 of 0, and 1 of 3.

Sutton led the bench with 10 points and 3 steals.

Gardner with 4 points, 4 boards, and a block.


That convincing win makes us 19-7.
