Should probably be a larger lead, but a good half by LU.

larry_u · February 28, 2009, 04:52:12 PM

quick halftime stats:

LU: Page 16 pts, 10 reb
Dekker 9, Applegren and Kroger 8 each

GC:

Grottberg 14 pts on 4-12 shooting 4-10 from beyond the arc

Long 5 pts 1-9 shooting...

Team: LU shooting 60% GC shooting 23.5 %

2 fouls each on Kadison, Kroeger, Dekker, and Aplegren. Something to keep an eye on, since LU needs experienced hands and minds to deal with the circus.
Good first half for the Vikes on the whole though. Gotta start making shots we should be making.

I am much more interested in Grinnell Baseball.

Amazing how the fouls just happened to even up...

Applegren, Dekker, and Kroeger all have 2 each...

Dang, Larry U, I thought Wisconsin was known for cheese, not whine. You start drinking early today?

Nope just watching the game.

So that whining is not chemically induced?!
You must be a ton of laughs at parties.

You're team is winning; breath; enjoy...
Quit sweating about the oafs

I'm not anymore now that they reopened their eyes and started calling fouls on GC again. It was that five minute period of "temporary blindness" that I worried about.

They key to the second half will be continuing to clamp down on Grottberg and Long. If Grottberg is hitting 26 footers..well there is nothing you can do. Keep him from shooting the 22-24 footers.

Long seems to be having a bad game. Wonder if he's having any adverse effects from his leg that he seemed to injure last night??

Interesting tidbit....only 4 players have scored for GC. That surprises me a bit...

WOW..even bigger tidbit...Grinnell only has 2 assists in the game....2!!!

Maybe they miss Little A more then we thought....

wc2viking · February 28, 2009, 05:08:14 PM

Interesting that all fouls on LU are "good calls"....

Larry_U, Coach A is known for 'adjusting' the statistics AFTER the game. I wouldn't be surprised to see some additional assists appear in the final box score.

pgkevin · February 28, 2009, 05:13:37 PM

No reason to do that now that his son isn't in the box score

larry_u · February 28, 2009, 05:17:09 PM

One major factor why LU is winning...

They are outrebounding GC 30-20.
