ABOUT LAST NIGHT\u2026Hopkins vs Eden Prairie<\/strong><\/p>\nIt was a Lake Conference heavyweight battle with the #1 & #2 team in AAAA duking it out. But it was the Royals that landed an early knock out punch when they scored the first 21 points in a 83-66 victory on the road. The smoking hot start for the Royals included going 7\/11 on 3s in the first half including the very first possession of the game when Liv Bell hit a left corner 3. The Eagles were mired in a drought of biblical proportions and didn\u2019t score until 10:38 remained in the half on their 13th<\/sup> possession. Ziwilani Simbeye, off the bench, broke the ice. That brings up the frigid EP start. The Foreigner song \u201cCold as Ice\u201d could be a theme song for this stretch of time as they misfired on ten of the twelve possessions. For the half EP as a team scored at 63.9 pp100. But their bench delivered an impressive 111.1. Their starters only delivered 48.1. But if we subtract Rae Ehrman, who at that stage had nine points and a 100 pp100, the numbers plummet to 22.2. Brrrrr. Part of the problem for EP was their lack of paint touches with the ball. They only had 19 in the first half to Hopkins 29. The Royals scored on every three touches while EP limped in with eight touches. Hopkins not only shot extremely well with 52% from 2s and 63.6% from 3s, they valued the ball with a 30.6 touches per turnover. Their pressure “grain of rice separation defense” caused the intended havoc and chaos. The speed suited the visitors with three touches or less plays going for 17\/27 or 63%.<\/p>\nThat game trajectory was flipped in the second half. Perhaps it was that side of the court, perhaps the rims are just a bit tighter–or higher; perhaps the court slopes up (or down). At any rate it was Hopkins\u2019 turn for a drought to start the half—albeit for only four minutes. The results weren\u2019t as severe as EP\u2019s start, but with their struggles on offense and the foul fest that was developing, the Eagles had a glimmer of hope. EP scored the first seven points of the half to make it 51-30. Still a pretty stiff climb out a deep hole. But Hopkins had more fouls (seven) and more turnovers (five) than points (zero). Their pristine ball handling crashed from 30.6 touches per turnover to a substandard, junior high level 9.94 in the second half. Perhaps we can chalk this up to Eden Prairie being more aggressive on both ends of the court. They attacked the basket better getting to the free throw line 25 times in the second half of every 6.76 touches, a significant drop from the 18.4 in the first half. Correspondingly their paint touches skyrocketed to 39.\u00a0 EP also crashed the offensive boards hard. They had 12 o boards better than the 10 second half d boards for Hopkins. The pp100s flipped as well with the Eagles up 110.3 to 82.1. But the foulfest also consumed EP players. Both teams had two players exit with five. Significantly Tori Schlagel was shackled with three first half fouls and eventually fouled out with 6:12 to go. They missed her down the stretch. EP was still staring at a 17 point deficit. It got tighter with the closest margin at a dozen (73-61) with close to three minutes left. But EP didn\u2019t move the ball with a sense of urgency and time slipped away. They also had another drought of six during this period.<\/p>\n
The opening and closing belonged to Hopkins by an overwhelming margin 28-2 (21-0 and 6-2 down the stretch). The rest of the game was \u201cwon\u201d by EP 64-55. For the game the first half buoyed Hopkins pp100 to 110.7 for the game to 88 for EP. Each team had a 31 Clubber. Consistency and reliability are hallmarks of Lauren Hillesheim who led the Royals with 19 points, a pp100 of 111.8 and a 31 Club score of 33. Rae Ehrmann topped EP and all scorers with 26 points, a 123.8 pp100, and a 31 Club score of 37. Liv Bell for Hopkins had a healthy 160 pp100. Schlagel was hampered all night and struggled to score, being held to five points. She only made one trip to the lane.<\/p>\n
