Well…. I had Roosevelt by 5…. But after a closer look at common opponents…. I think it’ll be 15 or more.

Rankings, national…. Roosevelt 2, Riordan 23.

All three of the common opponents, Riordan won close games, but Roosevelt beat ‘em pretty bad.

A Riordan win would be a pretty darned big upset.

23-19 Roosevelt…. They are absolutely living at the line…. 13 of 13. Riordan is still waiting to take a FT.

Trying to figure that one out…. Riordan only has seven fouls, and Roosevelt has taken 13 FT’s.

Kinda surprising when Riordan should have the size advantage
 
Burries at the buzzer…. Has 27 at the half.

44-33 roosevelt…. Good news for Riordan is that they got off the hack train. Roosevelt shot no FT’s that quarter.
 
At what point will Riordan coaching staff start making someone other Burries beat them! Giving him way too much space. What happened to that commitment to defense?

Roosevelt played very well good chess at the end of the half. Riordan scored and their coach took a timeout with 2:20 left in the half cause he knows every possession matters. Very smart move. The game itself is great to watch. And the Burries kid is unreal.

Honestly as critical as I can be what can they do. He gets to the line with ease. Watch his body language going to the hoop. He works his way to the line. Honestly that’s tough to coach and beat.
 
80-60 final.

Burries is a one-and-done.

In other news, water is wet.

Goodnight now!

Burris reminds me of Cade Cunningham - he's so freaking smooth. Roosevelt came into this game battle tested against the best SoCal had offer while Riordan wasn't. I might have triple teamed Burris at some point and make someone else beat me though. NorCal Open champions ain't a bad season all in all...

You can’t triple him. His coach places him on the floor to score and dominate. He is unreal. He literally knows how to drive and draw fouls like a pro
 
The whole Riordan season they must have had like 1,000 dunks. NOT ONE today vs the better team. Burries with the 40 burger on probably the best defensive team we have in Nor Cal. Every year the Open and D1 games, the So Cal team, bigger, faster. Riordan was our bigger and faster and it was a 20 point difference. Riordan has nothing to be ashamed of. They put together a real exciting season and just came up short this year.

Funny thing happened while I was heading to my car in the 10th and L (I think) garage...

On the way, a fire truck came by sirens and lights going, toward the arena past me.

Got to the garage, was getting into the elevator, and just to be funny, I asked a guy going up with me... "Did you see the fire truck?"

He said, "Yeah, I wonder what happened..."

I said, "I think they went to the arena to hose Burries off and cool him down."

Amazingly, the guy said, "Yeah, he's my cousin! He wasn't slowing down for anyone!"

What a chance meeting...
