Lincoln’s top scorer is Anthony Moore, ringing it up at a 17ppg clip. Quentin Thompson is also in double figure, with 14.7 ppg.

Solid pair of 6’6” guards.

 

[kiddman32]

Woodcreek counters with four guys in double figures, Aidan Triplet, Max VanLandingham, Tyler Hennessey, and Will Dennie.

 

[kiddman32]

But no, matching their numbers to names on the fly just ain’t in the cards for me today. I’m sure everybody on the planet is sorely disappointed…. Well, not really…

[kiddman32]

a 74-36 beatdown by Lincoln…. I got a quick look over the scorer’s shoulder, I think I see 25 points for Quentin Thompson who was the beast among beasts for Lincoln.

And he didn’t just score. He had a number of steals, a bunch of deflections, a few rebounds, several assists that I remember…. Otherwise, he didn’t do anything….

 

[kiddman32]

Next up, Jesuit (12-5 #73) vs. Liberty (13-3 #107).

Liberty #1 drives, fouled…. makes both. 52-51. Jesuit layup rolls out, Liberty scores…. 5:57 left.

I am definitely NOT having a good day here…. but I know a Wilsonburger when I see one. #22 of Liberty was the server. 5:37 left, 54-51 Liberty, Liberty ball. but they turn it over.

 

[kiddman32]
