First off, I just want to offer well wishes to Franklin County. They took it to Oakland from the start to finish in the 1st quarter and gave me quite a scare for a little bit. They shot the ball very well and played with a lot of energy early on, but they could not keep it up. I believe that I heard that Oakland started the game 1-8 from the field, but made 22 of their last 28 shots, which is just insane. David Hockenberry has to be the MVP of tonight's game. Yes, Jamal had 24 and led all scorers, but without David, Oakland maybe packing it in, looking forward to next year. David was the point man for the entire team during that big run in the 2nd quarter in which they outscored FC 22-6. I believe he had 15 or so at the half. Once the 2nd half started, it was all Jamal and then we were able to spread it out to other guys. I think its pretty impressive that Oakland played as well as they did from the 2nd quarter on without the services of Tyler Edwards, and I think it shows that Oakland can hurt you pretty badly when they decide to go small.

 

With that said, I thought we made some good adjustments of getting more ball pressure around the perimeter and fighting through those screens. In the 1st quarter, Oakland had a tough time of it, and it showed as they trailed 20-8 after 1. Especially well noted is the defensive play of BJ Nelson, who locked down on taylor after the 1st quarter, and Brandon Messick, who got big minutues tonight because of Tyler's injury and played very solid defense down low. I hope we can take some things from this game and incorporate them into the next game, because Oakland was dialed in for a large part of the night, passing and shooting the ball very well. Onto longtime nemesis, Columbia.
