Re: Semi-Final Game Thread: Jacks vs. Oakland
Well I have to say I was suprised to see such an outcome last night. Two close games in the regular season, albeit one was because of a 15-3pointer night and they beat the Jacks silly for 25 minutes of the other game. The Oakland perimeter defense isn't that great, the Jacks just could not buy a bucket outside of 15'. I would bet that you could count on one hand the number of baskets outside of that window until about 5 minutes to go.
I was suprised to see Kangas that healthy. It looked like he might be favoring the ankle a little in warmups, but that may be how he shoots. Jones was the key last night though. His floor vision is great and his quickness is so tough to stop. The back to back threes were just the beginning of the end.
I think the AC vs. Benson battle the next two years is going to be a fun one to watch. The intimidation of Benson's long body vs. AC using his muscle to beat him down the lane.
The question I would like someone to convince me of now is who to cheer for tonight. NDSU, who I swore on Saturday I would not cheer for again after the guys sitting around me and their arrogance plus the choke sign prick. And then their fans chanting at the end of their game last night "we want Oakland". Or should I cheer for Oakland and their pep band who is really wearing thin on my patience followed up by their chant of "This is our house" at the end last night. Whew, that's a doozy.
