Thx
I got Indy and grant for title

 

[larry legend33]

47-36 Indy up on oak tech at half.
very entertaining game played at a blistering pace.
Heard McClatchy has Covid and forfeit against grant although that was going to be a beat down.
Always enjoy the Cordova classic. Some real students of the games in the stands

Inderkum starting to pull away.
65-45 with 2:44 in 3rd.
Claxton has a little lonzo ball in his game.

 

[larry legend33]

Game is getting really chippy.
No love between these 2.
Inderkum up 20 in 4th.

 

[larry legend33]

Indy wins 93- 69

indy is interesting team. I’m not sure they can play slow. And at some point they will have to be able to run something. Pondo in d2 will be a great matchup. Diff styles but I think pondo causes them some challenges. Pondo big kid would score 40 against Indy.

 

[Streak One]

Sorry to miss you tonight Larry. Inderkum is tough with their depth, versatility and style.

Yes, I was there. Oakland Tech should be ashamed of themselves. Take your butt whooping and go home. Sacramento doesn't need that in our tournaments.

Yeah it starts with coaching. His theatrics were hard to watch. His kids play hard and honestly it was chippy But refs did a poor job of taking control of that game. Inderkum just has so much size and speed and they can go 9-10 deep. I just think they may run into issues if they play a methodical style team. They should have won that game by 40. They take so many bad shots but I guess it’s a numbers game. More attempts =more buckets.

Yeah me too. I met some great guys in the stands. Some old school pacers. The sort of guys who have a history and love the kids. It’s a nice tourney to support and if you are local and want to watch some good hoops hit it up. One of my favorite gyms too.

Sacred Heart Prep beat Indy by 15 in the Riordan Crusader Classic - good spacing and knocked down a decent % of 3's

Not surprised. And they have a really good guard. That style of team will give them issues.
i had a coach that would tell us to play fast but not hurry. Inderkum figures this out and they will be very hard to beat.

John Wooden is known for that “play quickly, but don’t hurry” line…. At least that’s where I first heard it…

Larry must have played for coach Wooden.

Hahaha. Close😂.
Btw Indy 92 and grant 75. Indy wins champ.
You gotta keep these guys in 60-70’s. But grant will just try to play with them without the stallions .

Without being there it would seem like zero adjustments on Grants part.

Agreed. I thought grant would learn more from first game down at Edison. Almost identical outcomes. But sometimes the other team is just better and Inderkum has a ton of players. I will say this. I like how there coach will go 9-10 deep. A lot of there bench guys are just as good as starters. I’m sure they have some heated practices.
