Day 4, Game 25: Ball State Cardinals (L4, L10, L17) at Saint Louis Billikens (L7, L14

Postby PointGuard » Fri Apr 24, 2015 5:57 pm

The Cardinals and Billikens are playing to avoid the embarrassment of finishing last in the tournament. Ball State hasn’t looked good in any of its 3 games thus far. Saint Louis had two close game losses, but in the 3rd round they were completely blitzed.

Starting lineups:

Ball State: PG 6-0 Melvin Clark, SG 6-0 Bernard Jackson, SF 6-7 Dwayne Jackson, PF 6-8 Paul Smith, C 6-8 Srecko Lepinat

St. Louis: PG 6-2 Adam Blizzard, SG 6-3 Arthur James, SF 6-8 Adrian Graham, PF 6-8 John Wiel, C 6-8 Bryce Brown

The first half was crazy-close throughout. There were 15 lead changes and 4 ties. In the waning moments of the half, Ball State pulled ahead to take a 37-33 lead to the locker room.

Ball State outshot the Billikens 55% to 44%, but Saint Louis did what was necessary to stay close. SF Paul Smith dumped in 17 points and hauled down 6 rebounds for the Cardinals. Top scorer for Saint Louis was C Bryce Brown with 8 points.

The Cardinals scored the first 5 points of the 2nd half to open a 9 point lead, but the Billikens got right back into the game to pull within a single point a few minutes later. But with 8 minutes to go in the half Ball State resurrected their 9 point lead. Saint Louis cut the lead to 65-61 with 1:20 to go, but their shooting continued to let them down (together with Ball State getting to the line 11 more times and scoring 8 more points at the free throw line than the Billikens), and Ball State pulled away to dump the Billikens into last place in the tournament.

Final Score: Ball State-71, Saint Louis-63. Ball State finished in 15th place and Saint Louis finishes in 16th place.

Ball State: PG Melvin Clark-6/3/2, SG Bernard Jackson-8/3/4, SF Dwayne Jackson-11/1/9*, PF Paul Smith-28*/3/8, C Srecko Lepinat-5/1/4; Bench player: Rustico Cipriani-6/1/1.

Both teams hit over 50% of their FG attempts, but the Hilltoppers made 13 of 15 FT’s while the 49ers sank just 8 of 15 from the charity stripe.

The score remained close with numerous lead changes in the 2nd half. Western Kentucky opened a 7 point lead with 4 minutes to go in the game. But as had been the case throughout this game, no lead was safe and Charlotte tied the game at 72-72 with 2 minutes left. Dwayne Cox hit a 3 for Charlotte with 53 seconds remaining to make it 75-72. Western Kentucky’s Julius Dickel knocked down a 10 foot baseline jumper with 26 seconds to go to make it 75-74.

Game #29: Valparaiso Crusaders (L8, W 14, W22) at Southern Illinois Salukis (L3, W10,

Postby PointGuard » Sat May 02, 2015 11:56 pm

These two teams seem pretty equal so if the game were on a neutral court it would be a coin-toss as to who would win. But playing on the Saluki’s home court gives the edge to Southern Illinois.

Starting lineups:

Valparaiso: PG 6-0 Javon Thomas, SF 6-2 Jeremy Scott, SF 6-6 Jim Walker, PF 6-8 David Richardson, C 6-10 Brandon Diggs

Southern Illinois: PG 6-0 Shannon Ress, SG 6-2 Brandon Penders, SF 6-8 Tim Montross, PF 6-6 Adam Lilly, C 6-8 Mike Young

Five minutes into the game, Southern Illinois had forged a 12-3 lead aided by 8 turnovers by Valparaiso. The Crusaders turnovers continued as they piled up 11 in the first 9 minutes of play which lead to a 19-6 lead by the Salukis. After 12 minutes of plays, the Crusaders had made 15 turnovers, and Southern Illinois expanded their lead to 26-6. The lead by Southern Illinois increased to 39-10 at the half.

Valparaiso played an abominable first half, making 23 turnovers and hitting just 30% of their shots. Southern Illinois had just 6 turnovers and hit 50% of their FG attempts (including 5 of 9 of their 3’s). SG Brandon Penders led the Salukis in scoring with 8 points. Just 3 players scored any points for Valparaiso and SG Jeremy Scott scored 4 points to top their scoring.

Southern Illinois went ice cold in the 2nd half, but the lead was too great for the Crusaders to overtake the Salukis.

Final Score: Southern Illinois—56, Valparaiso—41 (Southern Illinois finished in 5th place; Valparaiso finishes in 8th place).

Valparaiso: PG Javon Thomas-16*/2/1, SF Jeremy Scott-10/2/6, SF Jim Walker-6/2/8*, PF David Richardson-0/2/5, C Brandon Diggs-5/0/4.

Crusaders team stats: FG%-40%, 5 of 6 FT’s, 8 of 18 Threes, 24 Rebs, 28 TO’s, 16 PF’s.

Southern Illinois: PG Shannon Ress-10/4*/2, SG Brandon Penders-13/2/1, SF Tim Montross-5/2/4, PF Adam Lilly-8/1/3, C Mike Young-2/1/4; Bench player: Jamie Mueller-8/0/0.

Salukis team stats: FG%-40%, 15 of 19 FT’s, 7 of 14 Threes, 19 Rebs, 11 TO’s, 12 PF’s.

Player of the Game: SG Brandon Penders-13 pts, 2 assists, 1 reb, 1 steal.

Game #30: UNLV Runnin’ Rebels (W7, L16, W23) at St. Josephs Hawks (W1, L11, W19)

Postby PointGuard » Mon May 04, 2015 12:18 pm

St. Josephs’ wins in the tournament have come when their bench has been extremely productive. UNLV’s wins in this tournament have come when PG Clyde Ruddock and PF Geoff Ahern have both had big games offensively.

Starting lineups:

UNLV: PG 6-0 Clyde Ruddock, SG 6-3 George Finley, SF 6-5 Rick Watkins, PF 6-8 Geoff Ahern, C 6-9 Simon Ellis

St. Josephs: PG 6-5 Gregg Hoyer, SG 6-5 Chris Kelly, SF 6-6 Mike Hutson, PF 6-6 Dan Deverage, C 6-9 Petrick Watkins

UNLV broke out to a 20-9 lead midway through the half and held on to go to intermission with a 39-33 lead.

The Runnin’ Rebels knocked down 44% of their shots while the Hawks hit 50% of theirs. But UNLV won the battle of the boards 16-11 and enjoyed an 8-6 turnover advantage, and scored 12 more points at the line. PG Clyde Ruddock scored 10 points for UNLV. SF Mike Hutson led the Hawks with 6 points.

UNLV held their lead until St. Josephs hit a 3 with 4-1/2 minutes to go to tie at 63-63. UNLV regained a small lead but then with 40 seconds left, the Hawks hit another three-pointer to put them ahead by 3. Following a miss on their next possession, UNLV fouled and St. Josephs hit both free throws to put them ahead by 5. UNLV dropped in a 3 with 14 seconds to go. Trailing by 2, UNLV had to foul and the Hawks sunk both shots. UNLV brought it up court quickly but missed and the Hawks rebounded.

Ruddock and Ahern combined for 30 points for UNLV but the Hawks bench accounted for 35 points compared to UNLV’s bench that scored 20.

Final Score: St. Josephs—72, UNLV—68 (St. Josephs finishes in 4th place and UNLV finishes in 7th place)

UNLV: PG Clyde Ruddock-20/4/1, SG George Finley-3/1/1, SF Rick Watkins-13/2/8, PF Geoff Ahern-10/0/4, C Simon Ellis-2/0/3; Bench player-Matt Jones-15/1/7.
