[/INDENT]


Tip off (1st Half)

15:22, Up 5-4
Both teams are cold, shooting below 30% FG. We'll shift to balanced offense, as VANDY mixes up their defense with 2-3 zone

11:17, Up 13-7
PF Tyrone Walls enjoying a good start, 7 pts, 5 rebs

7:52, Up 23-9
PF Rashif McCoy continuing his good form lately, now with 6 pts, 3 stls off the bench

Start of 2nd Half

15:24, Up 44-29

11:58, Up 52-35
We're missing too many shots on our half-court sets, but making up on fast break opportunities

7:59, Up 58-43
We're in the penalty, so this game is far from over. VANDY is +11 in FTA, and can capitalize even further

2:08, Up 75-61
We managed to hit some clutch FGs to offset the FTs being shot by VANDY on almost all of their possessions

JAG Holiday Invitational Champions!
