MYAS 16U TOURNAMENT QUARTERFINALS
at Park Center
TRIPLE THREAT 44, SWISH 23

In the second quarterfinal I saw at Park Center it was Triple Threat more consistent with their offense in a 44-23 win over Swish. Swish is made up of Blaine players.

This was another game where neither team scorched the nets. The nets turned down right frigid for Swish. After a six all tie, TT out scored Swish 17-7. Swish faced droughts of six and 12 in the first half. Only four of those empty trips were the result of turnovers. TT's longest drought was six late in the half. TT did have four straight scores to initiate the run with post Amy Waterman scoring three straight times. Waterman had 12 of the first 23 points for TT. She was the recipient of many of Taylor Bare assists. Bare had 11 for the game. It was 23-13 at half.

It didn't get any warmer for Swish in the second half. The first 9 minutes TT outscored Swish 15-4. Swish didn't swish for 7 and 9 possessions. Meanwhile TT was rolling. They had a 5/6 sequence where the Bare-Waterman connection delivered on three straight possessions. Madison Delamarter had the hot hand for TT with 8 points in the second half.

A vast difference in free throw attempts indicated which team was more aggressive and attacked the basket.
TT used a basic weave up top looking to break the defense down. When a player saw an opening they seized the opportunity.
