Kennesaw St (16-0, 3-0) @ Jacksonville (6-11, 2-2)
Opponent Notes
- JAXVL shooting 50% FG on their 2 home conference game, both wins
1st Half
Slow start. Both teams with 3 turn overs each. We're 1-6 3PT (17%)
15:58, Down 5-7
Our 5 turn overs compounding our shooting slump. We're 3-13 3PT (23%). Our defense is keeping us from being down big
11:07, Down 13-14
Only SG Cedric Takaki (11 pts, 4-8 FG)is having a decent offensive day; the rest of our team is 2-11 FG. We're also in the penalty
7:59, Tied at 19
Our next 3 FGs happened in transition off turn overs by JAXKVL. We continue to struggle from the outside, 5-21 3PT (24%). Takaki with 15 pts
3:45, Tied at 25
We just wanted to stay close for the remainder of the 1st half, and we did that. Hoping that our shots would start to fall in the 2nd half
Halftime, Down 29-32
What I am concerned about is we are being beaten on the boards. JAXKVL already with 8 off rebounds
We're 5-26 3PT (19%).
Adjustments
- Def Reb Crash: +1 (already max)
2nd half
(reminder: check Shoot 3s box)
PG Mark Collier able to connect twice from downtown, but JAXKVL scored enough to keep them in the lead. We're 7-31 3PT (23%)
15:14, Down 38-41
Every time we get close to 1 one possession game, JAXKVL coming up with clutch outside shots. We're 9-25 3PT (26%)
11:48, Down 46-50
My players a little bit frustrated at the huddle during the media time out. We missed at least 13 in a row from beyond the arc. I told them there is plenty of time left. We're 9-38 3PT (24%). One particular player who is struggling is SG Joel Woods (2 pts, 0-6 FG). I praised and encouraged him to keep shooting, and he 'responded'
7:34, Down 50-58
JAXKVL increased their lead to 10. And then we scored 8 straight pts, including a couple of 3s. We're 11-41 3PT (27%). One thing going against us is that we're in penalty. But we're back in this game
3:49, Down 58-60
After JAXKVL made 2 FTs, SG Cedric Takaki drains a 3. Down by just 1. A turn over by JACVL (their 16th). Chance for us to retake the lead. C Dupree Eschmeyer got fouled on the act of shooting. Eschmeyer splits his charities. We get the offensive reb, but we turned the ball over
2:44, Tied at 62
JAXKVL miss. We get the def reb. I called a timeout. We called a play to free up Takaki. Woods with a nice pass to a wide open Takaki. But Takaki missed. Reb by JAXKVL. Still tied at 62, just over 2 mins remaining. Takaki with the interception! 1:56 left. I elected not to call a timeout. Takaki with another miss from deep. JAXKVL gets the reb. Woods gets a block and recovers the ball. Foul on JACKVL, but they are not yet in the penalty. This time I call a timeout
1:27, Tied at 62
We called for a pick and roll play. PG Franck Rickey passes the ball to Woods. Woods is 0-6 from the field so far. Woods fires a shot. Miss again. Reb by JAXKVL. We got called for a foul. 2 FTs for JAXKVL. They hit both shots. Earlier, JACKVL was just 3-10 from the foul line. After that, they have made their last 4 FTs. Down 2, 1:04 left.
I just inserted back PG Mark Collier (who is very tired) earlier in lieu of Rickey. Collier brings up the ball in our front court. Without any hesitation, Collier fires up a 3 and scores! That is Collier's 5th triple of the game, 4 of which he made here in the 2nd half. Timeout JAXKVL
0:54, Up 65-64
JAXVL on their possession. Woods gets a steal! Woods with a couple of defensive stops in the last 2 mins. We bring the ball frontcourt. Timeout
0:35, Up 65-64, 24 secs on the shot clock
But Collier, who earlier hit the go ahead basket, throws a bad pass. Timeout JAXVL. Shot clock is turned off. It looks like JAXVL is taking the last shot. They pass the ball around. With about 6 secs left, JAXVL's point guard drives, and Collier was called for a foul. 2 pressure FTs for JAXVL. 4 secs left. We have no timeout remaining
1st FT is good. Tied at 65
2nd FT is good. Down 1
Collier tried a desperation from 35 ft. Way off. Winning streak over
