FOUR SATURDAY GAMES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrasts. That was the theme of the day. The odd games were <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

breakneck speed. The even games featured deliberate, methodical basketball. The whole spectrum was on display today. The possession counts in the games were 76-48-71-58. In general most of the high school games hover near 66. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started the day down in Northfield at St. Olaf to check\noff Grand Rapids. I figured going south an hour was a better use of my time\n(especially when the roads were relatively dry) than heading north for three\nhours. The other \u201cmust see\u201d today was Eagan. They were in the fifth place game\nin the Roseville tournament and then I stuck around for the next two games.\nThis was the only window for Eagan that worked in my calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRIOR LAKE 76, GRAND\nRAPIDS 54<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The St. Olaf Tournament last year featured five games\n(including Eagan). This year they were down to two. Grand Rapids got three\ngames in, all against South Suburban teams. This time Prior Lake used their\npressure to force 30 turnovers and that resulted in easy shots. The Lakers were\n9\/12 in transition. McKenna Hofschild kept up her hot shooting with 70% from\n2s, 100% from 3s (2\/2) and 7\/8 at the line. At the break PL led 46-25. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANDOVER 37, EAGAN 34<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patience is a virtue. Eagan had 391 touches in 46\npossessions—-or 8.5 touches per possessions. The Wildcats had 26 plays with 7\nor more touches (so did Andover). According to my charts, Eagan only had one\ntransition opportunity. The Wildcats led at the break 16-13. With four minutes\nto go the Wildcats still led 31-30. Sydney White put Andover up to stay with a basket.\nEmily Diemer gave the Huskies a four point cushion thanks to a three. A 3 by\nMorgan Eckerle with 1.3 seconds left cut were the only points Eagan scored in\nthe last seven possessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks the second time I charted Andover on the year and\nthe second time they overcame a slow start to pull off the win. The other time\nwas against St. Francis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

COOPER 77, ROGERS 64<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooper used their inside game and the slashing drives of\ntheir perimeter to beat the long distance dialing of Rogers 77-64. Cooper was\n8\/13 in transition and went to the line every 14.5 touches. Rogers went to the line\nevery 75.3 touches. The Royals did knock down ten 3s on the day. Cooper also\nhad balance in the scoring department with four players with 9 or more points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROSEVILLE 44,\nCENTENNIAL 41<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was perhaps a preview of the 5AAAA finals (Park Center may have some say in the matter). The host Raiders overcame an eight point first half deficit to beat Centennial. By half it was 21-16 Centennial. The physical grinding pace had more touches than the second game. Roseville had 430 touches for the night, but with a few more possessions the touch per possession was lower at 7.4. They do have more 7+ touch plays on the night with 30. The Cougars were unable to generate any clean looks and suffered from 20.9 shooting inside 2. The Raiders didn\u2019t take the lead until Kaylee Nelson\u2019s 3 that hit iron, popped up and then fell through (30-28) with over ten minutes left in the game. Another Nelson 3 gave the Raiders what looked like an insurmountable 41-34 lead with about 2 minutes to go. Late game situations always intrigue me (same as in game 2). There was plenty to dissect here, but what is even more interesting is the last 17.5 seconds. After Centennial\u2019s Jodi Anderson scored on a driving lay up to make it 43-40, they were forced to foul. Jayda Johnston went to the line and made the first but missed the second. The loose ball rebound went to Roseville. Another missed free throw fell into Roseville\u2019s hands but inexplicably they attempted a shot in traffic. This with 7.3 seconds left. This time the dead ball rebound went to Roseville. \u00a0Another inexplicable foul put Centennial at the line 90 feet from the basket. Grace Johnson made the first free throw (which ended up being the final point of the night) and the Cougars called time out, probably to set up a miss, get a rebound and kick it out to 3 for a 3 to tie it up since they were still down 3. The first part went according to script, but inexplicably they attempted a two (remember there is only 3 ticks left, down 3). IF<\/em><\/strong> they would have converted, they would have lost by one<\/strong>. Instead the ball goes out of bounds, the whistle blows, the refs convene. I have it marked for Roseville. No, it goes to Centennial with 0.9 ticks (or is it tick or is it tic) left. Time out again. Centennial jams it up top for a potential three but a Raider sandwich prevents any shot from even being attempted. Roseville wins round one of a 5AAAA potential final. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
