Another really good game by the Jackets. We are really playing good basketball right now and we have learned how to close a game out. Okogie is a beast! Moore still scares me on defense but he attacked the basket and played well. Ogbanda looked kinda lost and fouls way too easily.
These guys play as a team and they all pass well and do not lose their composure. Sad to think they only have one game left but thankful it's a championship! Go Jackets!

Easiest money I've made all year. Whoever set that line and over/under needs to be promoted. I love that guy.

Ken mentions in his write-up that Moore played more because Heath was under the weather. Let's get better the next 2 days.

I agree. Played great defense like always but we seemed very sloppy otherwise. We were just physically superior to them. They couldn’t do anything offensively against Lammers.

sorry but i just didnt see their press affecting us much at all. from my view they were not even close to being the best defensive team weve played this year.

We had some bad turnovers against it after the game was already ours. Mostly though we kept them from scoring enough to set the press when the game was still competitive.

GT was just too much sizewise and athletically for the Roadrunners. GT also played with a heck of a lot more discipline than Bakersfield did.

Definitely. We beat them to the basket a ton. Missed a ton of easy layups and got hacked and missed FT’s a bunch though. We could’ve put up 100.

We had a season low 7 turnovers, so their press didn't affect us that much

Their half-court defense didn't affect us that much (from a turnover standpoint). The press did cause some turnovers, and we didn't really fundamentally play it well, but their pressure also wasn't all that swarming. Add it up however you like I suppose. They were mostly aggressive man-man in the half-court but didn't have much length to disrupt passes.

The guy who fouled Heyward in the face at the end of the game should have been ejected as well as just fouling out. That was a really low class thing to do. Proud of the way Heyward reacted or should I say didn't react. I am really glad he stayed with the team this year. A great contributor and good teammate.

Agree about Heyward. I think the kid who hit him probably just lost his balance/control rather than being malicious. Just my take.

It was Matt Smith's 5th foul so he was already ejected. He is a senior so he won't play again so there was no reason to contemplate a flagrant 2 instead of the flagrant 1 given.

He would have been hit with a flagrant 2 if he had dribbled the ball off of Heyward's head. Then he would have had to sit out the first class of grad school.
I disagree with you, AE (shocking, right?). The guy standing over him glaring at our players should be evidence enough that it wasn't a, 'oh, my bad' moment.
He should've been ejected if only for the purposes of having him appropriately leave the court in disgrace.

Bakersfield was a bunch of thugs who couldn't handle getting their arses kicked
Well, I wouldn't go that far. I'd say they were basically a poorly-coached team that couldn't defensively handle the way the game was being called. Thus it became a foul-show. That one kid, IMHO, did indeed pull a bush league move. I wouldn't collectively call them the t-word. I didn't see anything else during the game that I consider t-word-ish.
Speaking of poorly-coached, why was BSPN dead-set on trying to convince us Barnes is/ever was a good coach?
