2011 Final Four

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Wooster is losing the TO battle 11-3 - St. Thomas scored 25 points off Wooster turnovers.  That's the story - that and all of St. Thomas' threes.

Wooster cuts it to 10 - Franks taking over.

They do - you have to go up to the score bar across the top and click on the championship game over at the left end.

Wooster using every advantage - the refs don't realize that this group of doughy and skinny fellows are actually really good basketball players.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Franks might be trying to do too much now.  He's taken bad shots four trips in a row.


St. Thomas up 14 with the ball.

Wooster started out the second half well - patient on offense and focused on defense.  Neither of those things is happening anymore.  Looks like the first half again.

St. Thomas up 17 again.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

St. Thomas is just more aggressive and much more confident.

Nicolai is letting his team do their work - he's just running around and knocking down the occasional open three.  He's not even become fully engaged.

St. Thomas just out-executing - all around playing better in every facet of the game.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

If I hadn't seen this team beat Whitworth and Williams, I never would have believed it.  Not good right now.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

St. Thomas seems to be getting the short end from the refs, but it doesn't matter - at least not yet.

10 minutes to go - St. Thomas by 17.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Wooster really has taken advantage, in the tournament, of improved play from Hallowell - he's just not been able to engage today in the final.  That's hurting them.  Having a big man hitting from deep really changes what the opponent can do on defense.

That coupled with St. Thomas' advantage inside is tough to overcome.

St. Thomas by 20 with 7:39 to go.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Tommy Hannon has no missed a shot from the floor - literally 6-6 so far.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

5 minutes to go

St. Thomas 67 - Wooster 50.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

74-50 - three minutes to go.  St. Thomas has five guys in double figures.

It's over.

Wooster showed up too late and not for long enough.

[Gregory Sager]

Wooster blew two layups when the Scots had cut it to a ten-point deficit. UST kept scoring, pushed the lead back up to 17 while the Scots couldn't drop the bunnies, and that was the end of it.
