They can't rebound for shit, but have excellent post defenders, and
Charles Jones is a deadly shooting sophomore from distance. I'm a little nervous about this one. Okay, a lot nervous.
Two quick fouls by
Dewayne Ortega and
Ronald England each really put us behind the 8 ball, but
Scott Blank hits three triples and
Charles Jones is limited with foul trouble of his own. As a result, we take a 6 point advantage at the break, after being in some difficulties early on.
And the closest they get the rest of the way is 4 points, adding a buzzer-beating 3 pointer to make the final score look more respectable than what it actually was.

Player of Game: SG Thomas Valdovinos (MD ES)
Thomas Valdovinos really controlled the flow of this game, and his success has been one of the biggest and most pleasant surprises of this season. Also nice to see good
Scott Blank show up in what is his really his best role - a bench sparkplug who drills 3 pointers. Although
Richard Montes hasn't been the blocking machine I hoped for, with just 0.6 rejections per game, he's been our best shooting big, and
James Doiron continues to disappoint in his sophomore season, hitting just 23.4% of his shots.
This is a notable win, not only because it puts us back to .500 and ties last year's victory total already, it's also the first game where we demonstrated we could play a game of both halves, rather than falling apart in the second half. Great job we did on
Charles Jones, by the way. All credit due to
Jeremie Agache and whomever else was on him whenever Agache was sitting (forgot to make sure Renroe was sticking to Jones).
