this game took place on Friday
DAKOTA SHOWCASE
POOL PLAY
IBCA SELECT RED 92, MONTANA ELITE 46
This was the first game I saw of 13 over two days. Due to the sheer volume I will give quick recaps.
x
IBCA ran over Montana in the first of 9 straight games I charted. The odd thing was Montana led 3-2 and another at 5-4. By half time IBCA had enough to win the game as they led 48-21.
IBCA broke the pre-tournament record of 88 points and tied a tournament record with 33 made 2 pointers in this game. IBCA played with the precision of a fine German made car. In the first half IBCA had a scoring string of five. In the second half they one of seven. Droughts were few and far between.
x
Montana relied on the 3 as they had three players 5-4 on the roster and only one player 6-0 or above. Also IBCA was physically stronger. Montana's droughts included stretches in the first half of 9, and 5; and 6 and 8 in the second.
