X vs Dayton exhibition

[muskieman]

House burned on the denial for UD 2 and then gets a second 2.

One thing UD has found out is Ruben can shoot the three. He can really spin the ball

[muskieman]

Gedeon is in the game. The kid had a college-ready body. 32-20

UD is really pressuring X. X is 1-7 in last few minutes. 32-22 UD on run and at the line. 32-23 X has 8 TOs

[muskieman]

Both teams are sloppy with 9 tos each, and the lead is down to 7 as Nowoko fouled. Time out

[muskieman]

Nowoko hits both FTs, breaking a 9-0 run by UD.

[muskieman]

Well, in a normal game, Nowoko would be out on his 6th foul. 37-29 under 1 minute in the first half. House with O rebound and pass to Jovan, who scores and is fouled, which he made. Court is in the shade now. end of first half 40-29

[muskieman]

My take from the first half

X's D looks good.

X needs to work on protecting the rock. Too much holding the ball over their head, and UD swarms them. While they have turned UD over, the smaller UD squad has played havoc with X, turning X over and drawing fouls. Dayton scored 8 points from the line.

X can score from the three. And Jovan got the ball down low and scored and drew some fouls

House looked decent for a frosh and can distribute the ball, but Westry does it better.

Rueben can shoot the three, and does it in the blink of an eye.

Tru might get his shot blocked, but he keeps at it with more success than failure.

Wonoko knows how to foul; now we need to teach him how not to foul.

The subs are decent, and the talent is better than last year

UC beat OSU in the first game.

40-29 X but X had them by 17 at the 8-minute mark

[muskieman]

First play, Jovan gets the ball at the basket, dished to Nowoko, who is fouled and makes 1. First D play and X steals and Tru scores on drive UD makes 45-32 after X scores

UD's Perry makes 3, 45-35. Jovan scores 47-35 pass from Westry

[muskieman]

X is getting sloppy with a couple TOs and Dayton on a 5- 0 run. Ended by a slam dunk from Nowoko.

Offenses on fire

49-42 15:50 to go

[muskieman]

A ref missed an intentional foul, but one ref says no and one says yes. Washington 53-45 House assist to Nikos with slam but UD gets a 3

[muskieman]

Too many X fouls are keeping UD in the game. UD is very aggressive. Nowoko rebounds inside with three defenders and went up stronger than we saw any X big man do in the last few years 59-49
