DAKOTA SHOWCASE
CHAMPIONSHIP
IBCA SELECT RED 72, CSS BISON 49

IBC A overcame a fast start by the CSS Bison and used the free throw line, plus a deeper bench to beat the Nebraska team 72-49. The fresher legs played a big part in the win. Also this was a record setting performance. IBCA Select Red now has the highest pp100 that I have seen in a game with 146.9. The previous high was a 145 in an 14u game in a mismatch pool game. This score is significant in that it came in the finals of a big tournament.

The Bison raced out to a 12-3 lead after their first six possessions. Alyssa Kamphaus had six of the 12 for CSS. However that would be all she would score in the contest. Foul problems soon reared their head and Kamphaus had to camp on the bench. IBCA soon mounted their comeback with Jaime Printy scoring the first four points in a 14-4 run. IBCA took their first lead at 17-16 after a back cut by Brittany Peterson. CSS quickly regained the lead with five straight points including a three from KK Houser. Houser had four 3s in the first half. That lead wouldn’t last however. IBCA scored seven straight times on another 16-4 run to take a 33-25 lead with 2:56 left in the half. The Ames connection of Kionna Kellogg and Trisha Nesbitt each provided four points in the burst. IBCA led 34-31 at the half. IBCA made 8 free throws in the first half compared to two for CSS.

The game turned early in the second half. IBCA led 41-35 when the officials slapped a technical on the CSS Bison bench. The Bison had the ball at the time. After that incident IBCA went on a 14-5 scoring spree. 8 of those points came at the line. It was 57-40 at that stage with 9 minutes left. The next phase of the game included IBCA holding the ball waiting for the Bison to get out of their 2/3 zone. For two minutes not much happened except for Jaime Printy holding the ball. That kicked off an eight possession scoring run for IBCA as they closed with a 15-7 run.

In the five games I have charted CSS Bison over the past two tournaments these facts jump out
1. They don’t score as much in the second half. They average 32 points in the first half, 24 in the second half.
2. Defensively they give up more in the second half. They allow 20.8 in the first on average with 28.6 in the second half.
3. Other teams are shooting an average of 9 more free throws a game.
4. Other teams benches are scoring 10.5 more points a game.

For IBCA it was another balanced effort. In six games four different players led IBCA in scoring. Seven players had double figures in one game in the tournament. Of the 32 teams in this tournament 23 (71.9%) had one player that averaged more than the leading scorer for IBCA. That indicates great balance. IBCA used the wave sub pattern with five in and five out. That kept the legs fresh, especially on the third game of the day.
