Cayman Islands Hoops Classic

[1981 grad]

ON that easy layup Poke got beat down the floor.  I have seen that several times this year.  Groce pulled him.  WE are having difficult penetrating and leads to the 3 ball.  We cannot hit one to save our lives.

[kreed5120]

We might as well put them up from half court the distance we're trying to shoot them from.

[Z.I.P.]

15 point run by the Red Birds put us in a YUUGE hole!  From 6-10 to a 21-10 lead.  Now 26-16.

Finally hit a 3 after starting 0 for 14

[Captain Kangaroo]

Ivey and Utomi are streaky shooters. Always have been. 

 

0-17 is a rought start from 3-point land. It can only get better...

[Z.I.P.]

Stats show 1 for 17 now!  YEEHAW!

[LZIp]

Can't complain too much only being down 5 considering how bad we shot.

[Z.I.P.]

I hate to show my island ignorance..

But here goes.  Who is Jeremy Roscoe?  JC transfer?  Walk-on?  This year's Rec Ctr wonder?

And we made 3 of our last 4 treys to finish the half.  Watch this first five mins in the 2nd half.  Crucial!

Shooters shoot

[LZIp]

Is Loren Jackson the best player on the team?

[Z.I.P.]

First lead since the what...5 minute mark? Gotta get stops though.  Go D!

[Z.I.P.]

The bench is 1 for 8 today!  Gotta get more support than that.

[kreed5120]

Can we please get Kostalec out of the game.

Riak fouled out!

[Z.I.P.]

Utomi and Jackson 4-19 on three pointers.  Can't win with that...

[Z.I.P.]

BUT Ivey won't go into the island goodnight!  2 point game!

[Z.I.P.]

Fayne. Finally.  Five.  Fouls.

[Z.I.P.]

Down 3.  25 seconds to play.

  You know we're going to shoot a three!  Everyone in the gym is looking for it.

[kreed5120]

That was a poor 3 point by Jackson on the last possession. I also don't like that we wasted 10 seconds already in this possession.

[LZIp]

welp that should be all she wrote. Gotta simply shoot better. Think we need better play out of the bigs in general as well (maybe more Sayles).

[Let'sGoZips94]

They made more shots than we did. Plain and simple. Bummer. 

[kreed5120]

A lot of people are going to try to point at our 3-point shooting percentage and justify this loss by saying we won't shoot that bad again. We shot that bad because we took a lot of forced 3's. We needed to move the ball better to create ourselves better looks.

[Z.I.P.]

Interesting stat: We were 14 of 24 on TWO POINT SHOTS!

7-41 from 3-point land. That's only 14.5% away from 0%.
