St. Mary's: Win or lose, this is a basketball team.

It's nothing realy spectacular that Samhan does. Tiny actually exhibited more complicated moves. Samhan just play a nice, simple little 2 man game and they've played together long enough to see his downcut coming when he takes his defender high. The guard deserves as much credit.

Saint Mary's is a well coached team. They may not beat Nova, but they do all the right things.

agreed. offensively each of the guys on the court has a specific role and that is what they stick to. That little point and Samhan play their 2 man game and the others are expected to maintain good spacing, get back to their spots on the break, and rebound with their feet.

Nova wake up, getting run out of the building.

 

[coolm]

amazing.

St Mary's tearing Nova up with the simplest of plays and cuts/changes of speed. It's amazing what good coaching and smart basketball can accomplish even without having a bevy of McD's AA's.

Hey, can we get some guys from down under? Really like St.Marys game.

Agree completely!

Right now, Nova has no answer when Samhan is on the floor.

 

[MercedeSooner]

great defensive intensity by both teams, especially Nova since they went down. Almost felt at 1 point the game speed was sped up.

 

[SoonersRule]

Sanham is unbelievable.

 

[MercedeSooner]

i said it earlier in the thread but Nova man how much do you miss Cunningham ? the Sandman is liable to put up 40 today.

 

[SoonersRule]

Nova and the officials starting to take over.

 

[NickZepp]

Wow Nova is starting to turn it on.

 

[MercedeSooner]

great to watch, St Marys cant handle when Nova really turns on the pressure but they can only keep up that intensity in spurts. Hope we get a buzzer beater and Scottie misses to lose lol. What is he today ? 1-8 ?

 

[coolm]

crap. c'mon gaels.

 

[coolm]

it ALL starts with good spacing. good spacing, move the ball with a purpose, when the defense makes a mistake or cheats/adjusts then respond quickly to it and make the shot count.

thats good basketball.

 

[cfin5256]

How freakin gorgeous was that...

 

[coolm]

loved that little move mcconnel made. still laughing over that one...too bad it didnt drop.

 

[SoonersRule]

Great game!
