IBCA SELECT RED 52, MN STARS ECKMANN 41

IBCA beat MN Stars Eckmann in the 16u round of 32 52-41. In the games I charted with IBCA before this tournament they were hitting 105 pp100. In this game the pp100 was 78.8. However this is the first tournament they played since the end of March and the rust showed. One area the rust didn't show was the IBCA defense. They only allowed 9 first half points and 8 total two point field goals all game.

MSE started the scoring first with a reverse lay up on a second chancer by Kellie Ring. The game was tied at 5 when both teams sunk into the deep freeze. IBCA had nine empty trips while MSE had six. IBCA burned a time out when the trailed at 7-5. The last MSE basket of the first half came with nine minutes left. That was also their last lead at 9-7. After that it was all IBCA. MSE suffered through a drought of biblical proportions with 19 dry possessions. Tack on two to star the second half and the grand total was 21. MSE had seven straight turnovers in the early drought stages. IBCA made use of the down time by going on a 16-0 run the rest of the half. IBCA led 23-9 at the break.

With such a deep hole MSE had a lot of catching up to do. After failing to score on their first two possessions MSE's offense awoke from their slumber. They went on a 17-6 run to close the margin to 31-26 with nine minutes left. MSE was 8/12 in that offensive sequence. It was IBCA's turn to struggle offensively. They had a 2/10 offensive sequence with three turnovers in the mix. The game hung in the 7 to 9 margin the rest of the way for the most part. MSE did close to 36-30 after a three by Alisa Brown. In the last three minutes IBCA found their groove again with a 5/6 sequence. IBCA stretched their lead to 52-38 just before Ring nailed a three as time expired for the final 52-41 margin.
