Career Game #380

Start of Season

Coaches Classic

Nov 13, 2010: (11) Southern Illinois (0-0) vs (6) #20 UCLA (0-0)

Scouting Report

Offense: slow pace, inside, shuffle
Defense: 2-3, rarely press
Key Players: Jr PG Kendall Hamilton
Notes:

1st Half

A slow start, as SILL beating us in every aspect of the game. We trailed by as many as 18. We did what we can to reduce our deficit, but plenty of work to be done in the 2nd half if we want to salvage this game

Halftime: Down 32-42

Key stat(s)

2nd chance: UCLA 1, SILL 8
TOs: UCLA 7, SILL 3

Key Players

UCLA: SG Dickey Walton 12 pts

2nd Half

Very disappointed with our turnovers today. We can't get any sort of momentum

10:26, Down 45-57

Still down by 13 with less than 4 mins to go. One final push led by SG Dickey Walton, and we cut the lead to 6. We had a chance to go to within 4 on our last play, but we turned the ball over

1:34, Down 60-66

Our defense broke down, and SILL scored on an uncontested drive. And then we threw the ball away 2 more times. We'll have a tough season ahead if we continue to play like this

8:59, Down 55-57

We finally get the lead, and FL forced to call a timeout

6:51, Up 61-57

We wasted away our lead. We had ill-advised shots, and even got to the penalty

4:04, Down 61-63

Our offense in disarray. Another timeout

1:52, Down 63-67

We took it inside. C Anthony Burton scores. Down 2. But we couldn't stop FL from scoring at the other end, Down. SG Dickey Walton got fouled while driving. Walton hits both. Just over a minute left. Down 2. Just 10 secs on the shot clock for FL. Refs bail hem out with a foul. They miss the front end of their 1-and-1. Timeout

0:41, Down 67-69

PG Eugene Tucker gets a screen. Jumper by Tucker is good! Tied. FL not calling a timeout. But we got called for another foul at the other end. FL hits both. I call my alst timeout

0:25, Down 69-71

PG Eugene Tucker hits another jump shot from the same spot earlier! Tied. 0:12 left. No foul please. FL couldn't even get a shot. We go to OT

3:01, Down 71-75

PF Justin Blevins got blocked 2x. But C Chris Condill recovered the loose ball at the right place, and scores easily underneath. Down 2. FL's C Korey Lewis with difficult fade awa shot, and he gets it to fall. Down 4. We turned the ball over. FL scores again. I have no timeouts left

1:35, Down 73-79

SG Dickey Walton had 2 attempts. Missed both. FL missed a 3. This time Walton made sure on his next drive. Down 4. 0:52. We foul. FL splits. Down 5. SF Chris Williams hits a 3!

0:34, Down 78-80

We tried 1st to get a stea, but we couldn't. We gave up a foul. Split by FL. Down 3. 0:28 We don't necessarily need a 3. C Chris Condill is there once again to pick up the ball after FL gets another block, and Condill scores again.

0:15, Down 80-81

We foul. Makes the 1st. Missed the 2nd. FL gets the offensive board. Follow up is no good. We finally get the rebound. But seconds ticking away. FL presses. And we even couldn't get a shot off. Disappointing. Back to back home losses

Scouting Report

Offense: fast pace, inside, 5 out
Defense: m2m, presses on occasion
Key Players: Jr SG Jamahl Abrams 13.5 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 3.4 apg
Notes: Abrams play 1, and SGs playing the point is a recipe for disaster; CAL averaging 17.8 topg

Halftime: Up 47-38

Key stat(s)

FG: UCLA 57%, CAL 50%
Rebs: UCLA 19, CAL 12

Key Players

UCLA: PF Justin Blevins 16 pts, 3 rebs

2nd Half

11:26, Up 63-56

Now we're forcing more turnovers on CAL, and subsequently widen our gap

2nd Half

Keeping it close but couldn't quite get over the hump because of our turnovers. Until the latter part of the game where we made a series of stops, including the last play of OR. Timeout

1:27, Down 72-74

C Aaron Lappas hits a jumper from the FT line! Tied game. A turnover by OR! Opportunity to take the lead. But SG Dickey Walton also throws the ball away! OR's SG Terrance Fein (20 pts) had a good look from 3. Missed. We get the rebound. Timeout

0:18, Tied at 74

We just want to make sure we get the last shot. With 0:02 left, SG Dickey Walton fires up a 3. Missed. We go to OT

End of Regulation: Tied at 74

OT

We finally get the lead. PF Justin Blevins scoring 4 of our 6 pts in OT

3:08, Up 80-76

OR gets one back. Up 2. Teams traded misses. We had 2 shots on our next possession but we missed both. OR with the ball and the chance to tie or take the lead with a 3. But Eugene Tucker gets a steal and scores on the break! Up 4. C Anthony Burton comes away with a block! However, Burton missed on his inside shot the next play. OR gets a shot off to go against our double team. Timeout

0:57, Up 82-80

SF David Fuhs called for steps. Oh dear. Quick drive by OR is no good. We get the rebound. Timeout

0:30, Up 82-80

OR gave up a foul to send SG Dickey Walton to the line. Walton sinks both. Up 4. OR missed a 3. Walton seals the game with 2 more FTs. A meaningless 3 by OR at the buzzer. Great comeback win from 13 pts down. 1st win here in 3 years
