ORST committed back-to-back turnovers which we converted to pts on the other end

2:38, Up 50-38

6:21, Up 53-50

STAN getting more opportunities at the line. Timeout

2:52, Down 58-59

No one wants to shoot. With 2 secs on the shot clock, SG Ronnie Peppers lets go of a 3, and it's good! Timeout STAN

STAN goes to PF Josh May down low, and May bulldozes his way inside to score. Timeout

0:06, Tied at 66

We still have time for one last shot. PG Jeryl Milton quickly dribbles the ball. With time running out, Milton puts up a long 3. Milton hits it! That is Milton's 1st FG of the game.

Career Game #159

Feb 22, 2005: Washington (21-6, 12-4) @ Washington St (16-9, 11-5)

Scouting Report

Offense: normal pace, outside, lots of freedom, shuffle
Defense: 3-2, press at points
Key Players: Sr C Matt Van Hook 15.0 ppg, 7.6 rpg
Notes: WASHST limiting their opponents to less than 61 ppg in their current 4-game win streak

1st Half

We struggled to make our outside shots, and failed to break WASHST's zone defense. It was a close game until the last 4 mins when WASHST started making their long shots

Halftime: Down 24-34

Key stat(s)

FG: WASH 32%, WASHST 43%
Rebs: WASH 13, WASHST 21

Key Players

WASH: SG Ronnie Peppers 6 pts, 3 rebs

2nd Half

We have improved our shooting. But we're early in the penalty, and WASHST has not been assessed a foul yet here in the 2nd half

10:46, Down 44-49

Foul count here in the 2nd half is 12-0 in WASHST's favor, helping WASHST pull away. I had heated conversations with the refs

7:44, Down 48-62

We cut down our deficit to 8 with less than 2 mins remaining, but we didn't have enough offense today to complete a comeback. We had zero attempts from the FT line. WASHST was called for just 1 foul the entire game, which is almost unheard of.

Career Game #160

Feb 25, 2005: Washington (21-7, 12-5) @ Arizona St (1-25, 1-16)

Scouting Report

Offense: fast pace, balanced, not many freedom, shuffle
Defense: m2m, rarely press
Key Players: So PG Ben Clay 14.4 ppg
Notes: A team which has nothing to lose, and playing their last home game, is always very dangerous

1st Half

AZST didn't looked like a team which has won only 1 game at the start. We trailed 9-17 almost 9 mins into the game. SF Darius Chatman entry into the game gave us some spark. It was only during the last few minutes of the 1st half when AZST got into a string of turnovers, that we were able to establish a lead.

Halftime: Up 38-31

Key stat(s)

Turnovers: WASH 7, AZST 12

Key Players

WASH: SF Darius Chatman 11 pts

2nd Half

After cut our lead down to 3, we went on a 9-2 run to push us ahead by 10. But after that, we experienced a severe scoring drought. We are also in foul trouble, having 3 players (of our 8 man rotation) already with 4 each

10:48, Up 47-42

C Cory Wethers gave us a couple of much needed inside baskets. This is far from over. Both teams in the penalty

4:56, Up 54-50

SF Darius Chatman scored 7 of our next 9 pts to give us a more comfortable lead

2:32, Up 63-55

AZST turned the ball over on consecutive possessions, but we couldn't capitalized. After both teams scored 2 FTs each, AZST drained a 3. We can't seem to put this pesky team for good. Timeout. Our top scorer SF Darius Chatman has fouled out earlier

0:56, Up 65-60

AZST opted to give up fouls the rest of the game. PG Jeryl Milton knocked down 5 FTs to end AZST's miserable season

Final Score: Washington - 70, Arizona St - 61
