Greetings from Dublin!

[kiddman32]

Roosevelt answers with another 3…

and a Riordan turnover gets the ball back to Roosevelt. 59-42, 3 minutes…

Sensley pass to the corner, a 3 for Riordan, and Hillman takes a charge! 59-45.

But Roosevelt gets to the rack for a layup…. 61-45. Hillman fouled, FT’s split… 61-46.

Hillman fouled again on next trip…. FT’s split, Roosevelt grabs the board…. but loses it back, Kaia Berridge at the line for Riordan. FT’s clanked…. stil 61-47.

Corener 3, no go…. Roosevelt foul on the rebound… and a T on the coach. but FT’s both missed.

LOTS of confusion…. but Sensley fouls out after discussion. Roosevelt to the rack for 2... 63-47.

A 3 by Jackson Haggins of Roosevelt ends the quarter. 66-47, as a quarter that showed promise early for Riordan ends badly.

 

[kiddman32]

Well…. Sensley is back in, so I must have misheard…

66-52, 6:25 left.

Hillman is a man possessed in there for Riordan…. He is all over the place! 66-54. That time he scored on an inbounds pass.

 

[kiddman32]

Burries fouled on the way up…. FT’s good. 68-54.

Terrific pass by Sensley to Tofi…. Sensley scores again next time down with a twisting layup. 68-58.

Burries fouled, bonus…. got 1. 69-58.

A Roosevelt guy just ran into Tofi. Cost him some pain and the rock…. and Hillman with a couple rebounds and a putback! 69-60.

Slater with a pretty stepback J, but Hillman answered with some tough work in the paint, then he got it again off a deflection, had it stolen, and chasedown SWAT by Hillman! Roosevelt T…. 71-64.
2 minutes…

Riordan gets a stop, can’t take advantage, then Slater nailed a dagger 3 from the corner. 74-64, 1:10 left.

 

[kiddman32]

Inbounds pass to Sensley, he nails a 3…. 74-67 with 1:06 left. Riordan time out.. They aren’t dead yet, but they need a miracle…

FT’s split, Roosevelt rebound, immediate foul…. Slater at line. First FT clanks, 2nd clanked!

Riordan rebound, but they throw it away, too much hurry. Jackson Haggins to the line, clanks the FT…. nails the 2nd. 77-70 Roosevelt. 8.5 seconds left, this baby’s over…. Hell of a game! Riordan scores a meaningless bucket at the end.

Player of the game, Brayden Burries with 28 points, 5 rebounds

Next, we have the short-handed Vanden vs Clovis West.

Apparently, there was a melee during Vanden’s game yesterday that will keep a few Vikings in street clothes today, one of which is their star, the Montana-bound Tyler Thompson.

Clovis West appears to have a couple guys in streets themselves, dunno if it’s transfers, injuries, or what…

 

[kiddman32]

Vanden is 1-1, Clovis West is 1-0.

 

[kiddman32]

Next up: Capital Christian v. SRV.

Had a 5-hour energy drink, that’ll keep me going…. The stuff really works.. Not really for 5 hours, but a lot more than a coffee or a red bull or a caffeine pill…. Okay, commercial over.

Both teams are making their season debut here, I think…. SRV has almost everyone back from a terrific 2022-23 team, with Seamus Deely and Luke Isaak the guys I remember most.

CC, I don’t know nearly as much, but their black-and-dark blue uni’s are a real eye test.

CC, I don’t know nearly as much, but their black-and-dark blue uni’s are a real eye test.

CJ Willenborg and I believe one other from CC are sitting due to transfer rules.

 

[kiddman32]

Early on, it’s 5-3 SRV. Had a little connection trouble (Gee, that never happens…)

Isaak moves off-ball, is rewarded with a layup… and he’s fouled, sinks the FT…. Scoreboard need to be corrected…. I think. but right now it says 7-5 SRV.
