St. Joe’s @ O’Dowd (12/5/19)

[AndThree]

Think I’ll have any problem getting a ticket this afternoon? How big is the O’Dowd gym?
Thanks!

According to O'Dowd's website, no tix will be sold at the door. If there are any left, they can be bought online thru the GoFan phone app. You then would need to take your smartphone to show your app purchase at the door.

O'Dowd's gym is... well.... Tiny.

St. Joe’s @ O’Dowd (12/5/19)

Wouldn’t this be 1/5/19, as in today?

 

[kiddman32]

Yup

 

[kiddman32]

About 20 minutes to game time... The Dragons’ ridiculously dinky lil gym is sold out for this long long longtime rivalry matchup.

Dragons are 5-4 after nipping SPSV by 3 a couple nights ago.

Pilots are 7-5, their most-recent game being a triple OT loss to Monte Vista at the SI Sand Dune Classic on 12/29.

The two team’s MaxPreps ranking are very close, with O’Dowd having a very slight edge. Should be a good one!

Thanks!

The ancient B.O. facility is basically a quasi-closet _ and that's doing it a semantic favor.

 

[kiddman32]

Marcskit will enjoy this reference... This gym is about the closest thing we have to the old Cuba HS gym in Kentucky...

 

[kiddman32]

Hmm... Game is old out... Game time... Hiw come the gym is only three-quarters full????

 

[observer22]

Even if you are able to secure a seat in that place, there is no gauantee you will have good sight lines. Most CYO gyms have more room. Great home court advantage and student section though. Love the scorers table located above the court, up a ladder.

 

[kiddman32]

4-0 Pilots after 4 minutes...

 

[kiddman32]

4-3 Pilots with 1:39 left in 1st.. Dragon injured, helped off floor...

 

[kiddman32]

Quarter end with Pilots on top 6-5. Pilots are getting a lot of good looks and missing, Dragons have had almost no decent looks...

 

[H.E.A.T.]

4-3 Pilots with 1:39 left in 3rd... Dragon injured, helped off floor...

Low scoring game for 3rd qtr

 

[kiddman32]

10-9 Pilots... 5:46 left on 2nd

 

[kiddman32]

Low scoring game for 3rd qtr

Corrected

 

[kiddman32]

22-20 Pilots at the half... Hard defense and not-so-hot shooting, great game.

 

[kiddman32]

These two coaches have faced each other for years and know each orher’s game so well...

 

[youseechief]

I love these two teams. The defensive intensity is palpable

 

[kiddman32]

#25 on the Dragons heating up... 27-24 Dragons

 

[kiddman32]

Dragons slip out in front... 37-29 end of 3. This low-scoring, it’ll be near impossible to make thus up.

 

[kiddman32]

Back within 5... 49-35

 

[kiddman32]

42-35 Dragons with 2:53 left... Pilots ball...

 

[kiddman32]

Pilots score 5 straight!

 

[kiddman32]

Dragons score on a putback. But Julian Bond nails another 3! 44-43, Dragons leading, 1:12 left

 

[kiddman32]

#25 for Dragons with a bucket... 46-43. Pilots ball..

 

[kiddman32]

Now 10.9 left... Still 46-43, Pilots ball in forecourt

 

[kiddman32]

Bond nails a wild falling back 3 at the buzzer!

What do I say? We have FREE BASKETBALL!

 

[kiddman32]

Bond fouls out on the first play of OT

 

[Renard Monroe]

Julian Vaughn

 

[kiddman32]

Jalen Thompson, freshman, coming thru big in the ckutch... 5 straight points and a couple great defensive plays... Dragons still right in it.. 51-50 Pilots

 

[kiddman32]

Dragons force a turnover... and score, 29 secs left... pilots get a ft... miss. 6 secs left. Dragons ball on their own end

 

[kiddman32]

Dragon at the line, 1 point lead.. miss. And another miss!! Pilot rebound, hurried runner... no good. Dragons win by 1

 

[RJ223]

@kiddman32 NCP should pay and put you on staff!

 

[mansnothot]

The real MVP

 

[kiddman32]

Nah... I like the freedom to pick and choose games... and I do tend to pick good ones pretty regularly


I just wish my Pilots hadn’t been so cold shooting at the start...
